[Editor’s note: Garth Mullins, author of ‘Crackdown: Surviving and Resisting the War on Drugs,’ out now with Doubleday, used substances as a means of comfort and escape from a young age, eventually ending up dependent.

Part memoir, part manifesto, Crackdown is a story of the drug war, told from the frontlines. Garth Mullins was born into a world too bright for him to fully see, and too unforgiving to fully accept him.

Trump’s fentanyl EO, Poilievre’s campaign rhetoric, Ford’s SCS closures & Smith’s forced treatment legislation mock our grief & imperil those of us who’ve survived this far. The right are gravediggers.
