Episode 15
Drug addiction and human trafficking, particularly sex trafficking, have been intricately linked. Whether a trafficker uses drugs to control victims or victims use drugs to cope with trauma, drugs play an important role in enslaving vulnerable individuals. Having a strong working knowledge of drugs, from the realities of those that use them, is an invaluable resource. This episode covers approximately 14 of the most popular drugs used in the U.S. today, their street names, prices, how people use them, the drugs they use in combination, and common adulterations (cuts) included in drugs. Today we take it to the streets.
