Description: Every day, more than 115 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids.  The misuse of, and addiction to, opioids — including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl — is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare.  But, how did it become such a big problem?  For some insight into that, we turn to award-winning journalist Sam Quinones, who’s the author of the book, “Dreamland:  The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic”.  You can learn more about him at http://www.samquinones.com.
