Review of Taming the Snake


This piece provides a very detailed look at the lives of herion addicts in the Seattle area, along with the treatment options available to them. It also discusses some of the direct and indirect health risks associated with IV heroin addiction. I liked hearing a realistic view of addiction, coming directly from the addicts and those who treat them, as opposed to statisticians and politicians. I enjoyed the few injections of music, and would have enjoyed a few more. All in all, a great piece.
