Synopsis

From Hells Angels to gay party boys to born-again Christians to stay-at-home mums, this drug knows no barriers. According to "Newsweek", an estimated 12 million Americans have tried it and more than 1.5 million regularly use it. In the eye of the media, methamphetamine is an American epidemic. Is that really the case though? How could a relatively minor local drug trend spread so rapidly, breach socioeconomic barriers, and become a national scourge? For the first time, journalist Frank Owen takes readers behind the headlines to discover the truth behind what is being called America's most devastating drug epidemic. In this panoramic, character-driven story, Owen follows the users, creators, couriers and law enforcers to uncover the truth behind the hype. Seamlessly entwined in the narrative, Owen delves into the hidden history and chronologically maps methamphetamine use in America and beyond. "No Speed Limit" will be the first book to tell the real story of meth.
