Who are the new drug barons?
Fentanyl is shaking up the opioid market.
Who do you think of when you think about an opiate dealer? Probably not a young woman in China, who dreamed of being an English teacher. This is the story of one woman in her 20s who鈥檚 made a career out of sending fentanyl through the post. The 大象传媒鈥檚 Danny Vincent takes us to meet the new generation of drug kingpins, who Jeremy Douglas from the UN says are disrupting the drugs market just like Uber did for transport.
