April 16, 2023 – Jesse J. Holland: we are back and we are joined by sam quinones, author. He is here to discuss the fentanyl crisis in the united states and the world. Good morning.
Sam Quinones: I have been a journalist for six years now. I started out as a crime reporter in Stockton, California. I lived in Mexico for two years. Came back to work for the Los Angeles times where I worked for 10 years. I have written since, two books, what I am better known for. The first one was about the opioid crisis, prescription painkillers by doctors, promoted by drug companies, followed by heroin. Another book about community and a lot of things, focused around the idea that we live in a new time with synthetic drugs, fentanyl and methamphetamine.
