Fentanyl, inc : how rogue chemists are creating the deadliest wave of the opioid epidemic
Westhoff, Ben2019
Book
A new crop of chemicals is radically changing the recreational-drug landscape. Known as novel psychoactive substances (NPS), these chemicals include replacements for known drugs like cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, and heroin. They are synthetic, made in a laboratory, and are much more potent than traditional drugs - and, all too often, they are tragically lethal. 'Fentanyl, Inc.' is the first deep-dive investigation of a hazardous illicit industry that has created a worldwide epidemic, ravaging communities and overwhelming and confounding the government agencies that are challenged to combat it.
