The Next Fix explores how the legalisation of drugs is gearing up to be one of the great swindles of the twenty-first century.
How the legalisation of drugs is gearing up to become one of the great swindles of our times.
If we legalise drugs, who profits? Who gets exploited? And what gets fixed?
As countries around the world turn away from a century-long War on Drugs, issues of addiction, impoverishment and dangerous drug deaths continue to sky-rocket. Instead of advancing the course of social justice, drug law reform is helping hedge funds, tech companies, oil companies and tobacco companies investing in drugs to get even richer.
Award-winning author Kojo Koram enters the interconnected worlds of high finance and the cocaine trade, khat with narco-terrorism and the tobacco companies trying to use legal drugs to rebrand themselves as wellness companies, taking us behind the scenes of this new frontier of global capitalism. Chasing the next fix - whether chemical, economic or political - leaves us trapped in cycles of harm and dependency. Breaking free requires moving beyond temporary relief and confronting structural injustice, inequality, and the legacies of empire.
With sharp analysis and vivid storytelling, The Next Fix shows that what looks like a cure is often another dose
of the same poison.
