Kevin A Sabet: One Nation Under the Influence, Gebunden

Klappentext

We are in the midst of the worst drug crisis in American history, and the question is: What can we do about it?

Over a hundred thousand people died of a drug overdose last year alone-nearly double the number of Americans who were killed in the entire Vietnam War. Since 1999, over a million people have perished-due largely to fentanyl and other addictive opioids. But it's not just pills that are killing us. Nor is it only other lethal drugs, such as methamphetamine and cocaine. Our policies are failing us. We have lacked the will as a country to do better. That must change, and this book tells us how.

No one is immune, which is why Dr. Kevin A. Sabet has authored this remarkable book. Sabet, who served as a senior drug policy adviser in Democratic and Republican White Houses, has spent his career battling the destruction of drugs. Here, in One Nation Under the Influence: America's Deadly Drug Habit and How We Can Overcome It, he offers effective solutions to the drug crisis, taking readers all over the country-from the streets of San Francisco and New York to the Southern Border and even Canada to show a new way forward.
