The book explores the history of America's drug crises, tracing the rise and fall of various substances from the 1860s to the present, including morphine, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines. It argues that while drugmakers and dealers are often blamed, the public's own relationship with alcohol—a consistently lethal substance—shapes perceptions of these crises. By examining the opioid epidemic and its predecessors, the narrative seeks to uncover the underlying causes, the role of societal attitudes, and potential solutions moving forward.
