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