Dreamland : the true tale of America's opiate epidemic

Book

Dreamland : the true tale of America's opiate epidemic / Sam Quinones.

Quinones, Sam, 1958- (author.).

Summary:

"In 1929, in the blue-collar city of Portsmouth, Ohio, a company built a swimming pool the size of a football field; named Dreamland, it became the vital center of the community. Now, addiction has devastated Portsmouth, as it has hundreds of small rural towns and suburbs across America. How that happened is the riveting story of Dreamland. Quinones explains how the rise of the prescription drug OxyContin, a miraculous and extremely addictive painkiller pushed by pharmaceutical companies, paralleled the massive influx of black tar heroin--cheap, potent, and originating from one small county on Mexico's west coast, independent of any drug cartel." -- (Source of summary not specified)
