Dreamland sam quinones pdf free download
This book rocked my world. Shocking to me in many ways. The combination of misinformation, desire for monetary success, and ingenuity in "beating the system" created such havoc in this country.
I won't be be able to forget this book. I spent half my childhood in Portsmouth, and visited it occasionally in the s and s. I saw the changes, but was unaware off the depths of corruption. I was stunned.
Completely stunned. The author closes with news that Portsmouth is in recovery; I hope they defy all the "coasters" and cynics. I'll be looking for a way I can help even if in a small way. On the downside, I do wish the author hadn't referenced the delivery system as "like pizza" so many times; I got the point and the repetition made me hungry for Domino's.
One of the MOST important and riveting books I've read in a long time - and that is not an dreamland sam quinones pdf free download I rarely give 5 stars but this one deserves it. An incredible journey and comprehensive telling by perhaps one of our best living journalists of what went wrong leading to the opiate-heroin-drug-overdose-death epidemic in America, how easily opiates evolved into a heroin epidemic, ravaged small town America and then spread well beyond into comfortable communities of privilege.
I came upon this book delving into trying to understand what has been going on in this country starting with Hillbilly Elegyand why despite reading broadly than most, I was so taken aback by the Nov'16 election outcome. The factors are myriad - and that journey continues - but what became obvious to me was that the opiate crisis particularly in places like Portsmouth Ohio or the Appalachia created much of the senseless destruction that contributed to it.
It's only when that crisis reached "us" with the death of people like Philip Hoffman Seymour in did we even begin to pay attention.
But it was too late. Given the garbage heap of non-essentials that the media shoves at us they largely missed the urgency of this story. Death due to drug overdoses exceeded those from car crashes as early as !!! YES you read that right - - nearly a decade before we paid attention. How broadly was that publicized, and how deeply investigated? Thankfully for us there are journalists out there like Sam Quinones who researched it for 5 years and then wrote this tome. Besides being a great read because of his fantastic narrative style and passion for getting to the bottom of it, Quinones brings together a complete picture of all that played here.
The opiate-heroin crisis resulted from a PERFECT STORM of varied factors coming together the drastic swing in the pain management pendulum with a change towards prescribing opiates starting in the '90's willy-nilly to one and all under the misguided - and to some extent deliberate - notion that they are not addictive when prescribed for pain "pain soaks up the euphoria"! There was no "data" or "study", instead a small paragraph in a letter to an editor of a medical journal that set this off.
No one asked questions or asked to see the source! The man who wrote the paragraph had no intention nor data dreamland sam quinones pdf free download support what was inferred. OxyContin on anyone with ANY pain creating drug addicts who would never have gotten there. One reason for the millions who are not employed nor looking for work Yes that's how crazy it got -- and we are only now beginning to understand and unravel let along address!
Read on for an amazing book and incredible journey of learning. Post a Comment. Thursday, March 28, Dreamland Free Pdf. Inin 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--addiction like no other the country has ever faced, dreamland sam quinones pdf free download.
How that happened is the riveting story of Dreamland. With a great reporter's narrative skill and the storytelling ability of a novelist, acclaimed journalist Sam Quinones weaves together two classic tales of capitalism run amok whose unintentional collision has been catastrophic. The unfettered dreamland sam quinones pdf free download of pain medications during the s reached its peak in Purdue Pharma's campaign to market OxyContin, its new, expensive--extremely addictive--miracle painkiller, dreamland sam quinones pdf free download.
Meanwhile, a massive dreamland sam quinones pdf free download of black tar heroin--cheap, potent, and originating from one small county on Mexico's west coast, independent of any drug cartel--assaulted small town and mid-sized cities across the country, driven by a brilliant, dreamland sam quinones pdf free download, almost unbeatable marketing and distribution system. Together these phenomena continue to lay waste to communities from Tennessee to Oregon, Indiana to New Mexico.
Introducing a memorable cast of characters--pharma pioneers, young Mexican entrepreneurs, narcotics investigators, survivors, and parents--Quinones shows how these tales fit together. Dreamland is a revelatory account of the corrosive threat facing America and its heartland.
