«La fiesta se acabó» is Ben Westhoff's investigative essay on the global trade in synthetic drugs, published by Ediciones Temas de Hoy in paperback (464 pages, in Spanish).
Ben Westhoff documents how synthetic drugs have spread across the planet and why they are almost impossible to control. The investigation starts with small-time dealers operating on the Deep Web, moves through organizations in New Zealand and reaches the Chinese factories producing new variants of banned compounds. The author argues that chemistry advances faster than the law and analyzes the opioid crisis that has transformed streets and parties in dozens of countries.
The subtitle of the work is «Por qué siempre perderemos la guerra contra las drogas sintéticas». The Spanish edition includes a translation by Juan Trejo and was published on May 12, 2021.
Recommended for readers interested in investigative journalism, sociology and drug policy.
