Why do so many people in societies get addicted to drugs? Experts say it starts with recreational use then to dependency and after prolonged use, physical dependency takes control of the body and the brain.
This may explain the science behind prolonged addiction, but what triggers the mind in the beginning to explore these chemicals? Is it our education, worldview, political status, or social connection? Is it the images seen in media, the language of drugs translated by family and friends, or the politics on the war on drugs that cause dependence for a substance considered illegal. Verne is a former substance abuse counselor and treatment administrator who writes about the reality of heroin addiction in this dark and compelling novel.
