Description
Journalist Sam Quinones chronicles how, over the past fifteen years, as opioid-based pain medications like OxyContin began flooding the prescription drug market, enterprising sugar cane farmers in a small county on the west coast of Mexico created a unique distribution system that brought black tar heroin-- the cheapest, most addictive form of the opiate, two to three times purer than its white powder cousin-- to the United States. The result has been a drug scourge that has laid waste to communities from Tennessee to Oregon, Indiana to New Mexico.
