A gripping global investigation into the future of drugs—who profits, who suffers, and what comes after the War on Drugs
From America’s plantation-turned-prison at Angola to Silicon Valley’s psychedelic boom, The Next Fix tracks a seismic shift in global drug policy. Kojo Koram—legal scholar and acclaimed author of Uncommon Wealth—travels across five continents to uncover how criminalized substances are being rapidly rebranded as commodities in a new, billion-dollar industry. Cannabis dispensaries now trade in what once led to life sentences. Psychedelics are the darlings of biotech. But for many, the old world hasn’t ended: prisons still swell with the poor, and enforcement falls hardest along lines of race and class.
This is not a polemic for or against legalization. It is a powerful, clear-eyed reckoning with how we got here—and what kind of future we are building in a world hooked not only on drugs, but on economic “fixes” of every kind. Combining reportage, political analysis and vivid personal testimony, The Next Fix tells the untold story of drugs, capitalism and inequality in the 21st century.
