Since \u003ci\u003eDreamland\u003c\/i\u003e, he has taken note as the drug world has radically changed with the introduction of fentanyl on the market. Fentanyl   a painkiller created to be more powerful and more potent than morphine   is often found laced in cocaine, methamphetamine, and sometimes even marijuana. Highly profitable and easy to traffic, fentanyl is the new \"go-to\" addictive behind hundreds of overdoses all over the United States. \u003cbr\u003eHeartbroken by the harrowing rise of an already steep death toll, counties and communities both large and small have been charged with the responsibility of stopping this opioid epidemic from taking any more lives. Quinones reveals how college presidents, Chambers of Commerce, clergy, hospital administrators, parents, PTAs, and others are coming together to fight the scourge in a period of extreme political and cultural division. United by the urgent necessity for change, these task forces, working groups, and alliances are paving the way to recovery   igniting hope along the way that our country can be whole again. \u003cbr\u003eWeaving together his analysis of the drug trade with moving stories about humble communities braving the tragic darkness of an epidemic, Sam Quinones delivers an unexpected and awe-inspiring response to the call that shocked the nation in his award-winning \u003ci\u003eDreamland. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509036204190,"sku":"UBD-9781635574357","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781635574357.jpg?v=1780640105","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781635574357","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
