Light up the night : America's overdose crisis and the drug users fighting for survival / Travis Lupick. by Lupick, Travis, 1985- author. New York : The New Press, 2022. Subjects Drug abuse -- United States.   Harm reduction -- United States.   Drug addiction -- Treatment -- United States.   Drug addicts -- Health and hygiene -- United States.   Narcotics -- Overdose -- United States -- Prevention. ISBN:  9781620976388 (hardcover) : 1620976382 (hardcover) Description:  xiii, 273 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  In the 1990s, pharmaceutical corporations flooded America with powerful narcotics while lying about their risk. Many patients developed addictions to prescription opioids; then, as access was restricted, waves of people turned to the streets and began using heroin and, later, the dangerous synthetic opioid fentanyl. Lupick shows how this story fails to acknowledge how the war on drugs has exacerbated the crisis and leaves out one crucial voice: that of drug users themselves. He provides an intimate look at how users navigate the policies that criminalize them, and chronicles a rising movement that is fighting to save lives, end stigma, and inspire commonsense policy reform. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.29097 Lu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.29097 Lu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
