Time: The Opioid Diaries

Time Magazine published a special edition dedicated to documenting the cost of opioid addiction: Special Report March 2018.  The photographs were taken by James Nachtwey.  There are now annually in the United States 64,000 drug overdose deaths. Life expectancy in the United States is going down as a result.  The pictures are very graphic.  They show people who are overdosed, emaciated, homeless.  Some are in coffins.  They show pregnant mothers with the effects of drug usage.  They show families that are devastated as a result of addiction.  Stories are also presented; but it is the pictures that drive this message home.  This is really bad stuff.
