A Teaser of My Next Novel, Venoms
When asked to supervise the drug overdose service at his hospital, Max learns about heroin production in Thailand’s Golden Triangle. Wondering if this could be related to a colleague’s disappearance, Max contacts his former mentor on a summer project that researched heroin rehab.
The Drug Dealer
My travels gave me a glimpse of a future in which law enforcement blocked legitimate research and imposed the criminal justice system on the disease of addiction. It was a colossal error and only added sixty more years to the century-long failure of the War on Drugs, which remains a war on people. Drugs are the medium of a purely capitalistic system of supply and demand. Draconian laws only raise the risk premium, i.e., the profits for the international drug trade.
