La fiesta se acabó

Everything begins well, as always begins what ends badly. A government legalizes the production and marketing of synthetic drugs in the hope of multiplying their medical purposes. On the other side of the world, an ambitious scientist discovers there a loophole to profit. The rift multiplies, the rules of the game change. This is what has happened in silence for the last six years: new and untraceable drugs are filling the streets and parties of dozens of countries and have caused the largest opioid crisis ever experienced. In this spectacular investigative exercise, Ben Westhoff infiltrates an enigmatic world to unravel what is behind each pill. From tiny dealers using the Deep Web to big drug lords in New Zealand or Chinese factories continually producing subtle variants of banned compounds, Westhoff unveils the global trafficking network that repeats itself day after day. Who can stop this nightmare for the prohibitionists? Nobody, because chemistry goes faster than the law.
