We're Overdosed looks at the history of opium and the drug's spread throughout the world. It traces the origin of morphine from opium, the subsequent synthesis of opioids and the birth of the global pharmaceutical industry. From Barry I.

The story also looks forward and asks how new treatments offer hope in treating addiction.
