YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOxy Rush: From High School Wrestlers to Oxycodone Kingpins
High school wrestler, Douglas Dodd, and his clean-cut all American teammates—turned oxycodone kingpins—work the Sunshine state’s murky world of illegal pill mills. The unlikely group of, half-baked, over sexed teens, ultimately become a criminal enterprise, making millions shipping hundreds of thousands of prescription pain-meds throughout the country, while simultaneously duping the DEA and state drug task forces.
Dodd’s story takes readers into what Bloomberg Businessweek described as “ground zero of the painkiller epidemic.” An American crisis so dangerously addictive, it has been dubbed, “pharmageddon” by NBC News. Where, according to The Miami Herald, opiate addicts throughout the southern states, known as “pillbillies,” travel the “Oxy Express,” for a taste of what The Orlando Sentinel calls “hillbilly heroin.”
In September 2016 Dodd and I signed a deal with Skyhorse Publishing. His true crime memoir, Oxy Rush: From High School Wrestlers to Oxycodone Kingpins, was released in October 2017 under the title Generation Oxy: From High School Wrestlers to Pain Pill King Pins. However, Dodd’s first person 8,000 word Oxy Rush synopsis is available now on my website listed below!
