Review: The Opioid Crisis Lookbook.

“On the Opioid Crisis Lookbook Instagram account, triggering posts include an image of a pregnant woman being injected with heroin, and a video of shackled addicts being heckled by cops during a Florida trap house drug bust. In the second issue of the magazine, an ad for Codependents Anonymous is followed by a sardonic editorial featuring Magic: The Addiction, a fictional card gamewith characters like “Nod the Comedown Clown” and “Lord Overdose.” As a result, the magazine can be interpreted as a sadistic parody of addiction and low life culture — and in many ways it is.”
