[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 to whoever told off the "personal responsibility" jerk. The manufacturers of Oxycontin told physicians over and over that Oxy was NOT addictive because of the time release. They lied and lied and covered up evidence for years. And there were plenty of criminal physicians who were happy to prescribe tsunamis of pills for patients who had become addicted. It's a horrible, sad story and we are going to be stuck sorting out the fallout for years while people die.[/quote]

This.
Purdue Pharmaceutical (Sanger family) is now one of richest in the world as a result of OxyContin. The company (not any member of the Sanger family) admitted to lying about its addictive properties and paid a fine that amounted to about three cents on the dollar of profit. No one went to jail but thousands are dying as a result. Drug distributors, pharmacies, hospitals and MDs have all profited mightily. The rehab outfits are now raking it in.[/quote]

And don't forget about the profits of the distributors. McKesson's CEO is raking it in: http://fortune.com/2017/07/10/mckesson-ceo-pay-opioid-teamsters/[/quote]
