Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Just watched part 1 of 2. Wow. Imagine being able to sell pills more addictive than heroin legally.
Nobody looks good in this. Big Pharma, Congress, the DOJ, Clinton, Bush, Chris Dodds, Rudy G.
Legal drug cartel raking in billions. I know this isn't new but I never really cared quite honestly.
I should have.

The throbber flat out refuses to take them. Just not gonna deal with the temptation - and quite honestly, they don't do shit to me compared to smoking weed or getting fucked up drunk. So what's the point?
Another blast from past, 2002 news clip I think: "Rudy Giuliana has agreed to lend his considerable credibility to help Purdue Pharma..."
Opioids designed for end of life cancer so it doesn't matter if you got hooked were repackaged with a time release coating and the FDA allowed language in the package that says addiction is unlikely and can be used for all pain.
The FDA guy that did that got a job with Big Pharm shortly thereafter. Sales force was unleashed to get doctors to buy buy buy. This was in 1995
Within a year everyone knew that it was highly addictive, people were dying and it was being sold on the street as well as from pill mills like you saw on TV in Justified
The DOJ finally gets a trial by 2007 and at this point the company had made around 10 billion dollars. The DOJ slapped their wrist with a 600 million dollar fine and no jail
Congressmen like Dodd and paid guys like Rudy blamed drug addicts not the company pushing the shit on patients and telling them it isn't addictive
That was part 1. Part 2 is Fentanyl
The Mexican Cartels are small tim compared to the full might of American Corporations and Government
We have all this regulation, allegedly, of the greedy corporations who only care about money but who is regulating the regulators? Congress was bought off as usual
