How Rogue Chemists Are Creating the Deadliest Wave of the Opioid Epidemic
An investigative dive into the rise of synthetic opioids and other designer drugs, tracing how rogue chemists, online marketplaces, and global supply chains created a lethal new market. Drawing on undercover reporting in Chinese labs and voices from users, families, and officials, it shows why fentanyl and its analogs spread so quickly and elude regulation. It outlines the chemistry and economics at play and highlights harm-reduction approaches that could stem the devastation.
