To me, the life of an addict is the most boring conformist life I've ever seen.
Picture this: You're sitting down with a legendary journalist who has spent years uncovering the grim realities of America's drug epidemic. In this episode of Dopey, hosts Dave and Chris welcome Sam Quinones, former LA Times reporter and acclaimed author, to discuss the fentanyl crisis gripping the nation.
Sam's groundbreaking book, 'Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic,' set the stage for his latest work, 'The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth.' These books paint a stark picture of the current drug landscape, and Sam's insights are both eye-opening and chilling.
Joining the conversation is Erin Khar, a familiar voice on Dopey and author of 'Strung Out.' Erin brings her unfiltered advice and personal experiences into the mix, creating a dynamic dialogue that covers everything from addiction's link to social media to the isolating effects of substance abuse. They even touch on how pharmaceutical companies have played a role in this ongoing crisis. This episode isn't just about facts and figures; it's about real stories and raw emotions.
Sam and Erin's perspectives offer a deep dive into the human side of addiction, making it a compelling listen for anyone touched by this issue. Whether you're seeking to understand the impact of fentanyl or looking for stories of hope amidst the chaos, this episode provides a nuanced look at one of America's most pressing problems.
