A GRIPPING GLOBAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHANGING WORLD OF RECREATIONAL DRUGS - WHO PROFITS, WHO SUFFERS AND WHAT WILL FOLLOW THE WAR ON DRUGS

From America's plantation-turned-prison known as Angola in Louisiana to the psychedelic boom of Silicon Valley, The Next Fix tracks a seismic shift in global drug policy. Kojo Koram--legal scholar and acclaimed author of Uncommon Wealth--travels across five continents to examine how criminalized substances are being rebranded as commodities in a new billion-dollar industry. Legal cannabis dispen­saries now trade in what once led to life sentences.Psychedelics have become fertile ground for biotech.But for all these developments, prisons still swell with underprivileged users and addicts, and enforce-ment falls hardest along lines of race and class.

This is not a polemic for or against legalization. It is a powerful, clear-eyed reckoning with how we got here--and what kind of future is taking shape in a world addicted to economic "fixes" every bit as much as it is troubled by drugs. Combining report­age, political analysis and vivid personal testimony, The Next Fix tells the untold story of drugs, capital­ism and inequality in the twenty-first century.
