Beschreibung
'Fantastic. Kojo's case is clear and to my mind irrefutable' AKALA. 'Essential reading' CAROLINE LUCAS. The future of drugs is here, and it's dangerously unequal. Over the last decade, the status quo around drugs has collapsed. Drugs once sold as safe cures have been revealed as ineffective or dangerous, while substances criminalised for generations are being reborn as breakthrough mental health treatments, wellness supplements, Silicon Valley productivity tools and billion-dollar investment opportunities. How did this reversal happen - and who stands to benefit. In The Next Fix. , award-winning author and academic Kojo Koram travels from Scotland to Colombia, Ghana to the United States, to uncover the forces reshaping the global drug landscape. Moving between glossy corporate cannabis expos to grassroots activist campaigns and the question of reparations, he traces the growing tension between movements fighting for justice after decades of prohibition and the finance-world race to profit from a newly legal frontier. Will drug reform finally undo the racial violence, environmental destruction and public health failures of the War on Drugs. Or will it simply open a new chapter in global capitalism, creating a smooth transition from cartel barons to Wall Street oligopolies. Urgent, moving and deeply reported, The Next Fix. asks whether the War on Drugs is really over - or merely changing its chemical formula.
