So the Sacklers are on the hook for 8 billion. Too bad their opioid crimes netted them 13 billion. So after causing the deaths of over half a million people they still get to keep 5 billion? That's not justice. They should have to pay back every fucking cent they made off of this intentionally caused opioid epidemic, with penalties sufficient enough to ensure they remain in debt the rest of their lives.

And they’ve already created new generic pharma companies producing solely painkillers, like Rhodes Pharmaceuticals L.P.. Since these companies are not listed in the court case, they’re still bringing in revenue for them as well.

(Just google Rhodes Pharmaceuticals L.P., it’s not even hidden)

meh I feel the patients should have decided what to take, if a doctor prescribes me oxycontin but I'm not really in that much pain I won't take it. I did take it before after a surgery when I had legit pain and it did help. Never finished all of em, it isn't addictive, maybe it is to people with weak minds.

There are many instances where children/teenagers/young adults who had no idea what pain killers even were (the marketing made it seem as if this was an extra strength Tylenol, especially with OxyContin, claiming for a period that it was non-addictive) and were still in school, received them when they shouldn’t have (like after a visit to the dentist for a filling or the removal of wisdom teeth), and young adults, teens and children can be moody, all in transitional stages of life that can be stressful - giving them a euphoric drug at this moment in life where there’s turmoil, changes and a lot going on emotionally, can create a life-long addict.

In fact, they noted this and wanted this to happen, as revealed in the court docs. They also planned to have a “monopoly” on opiate addiction (operation white blizzard), by both creating the drug, and the treatment for addiction to their drug (suboxone, which still provides euphoria), so they could keep their hooks in you forever as a customer (or slave), and if not, at least milk your addiction they manifested for all it’s worth.

Not weak minds, weak social support. This often is not something a person can help. Social isolation is the modern plague.

Google project tango and operation blizzard. They knew exactly what they were doing, it’s disgusting. They essentially planned and enacted a chemical attack; the government knew about this, there’s no way they didn’t. And the way they talked about patients and other people in their plans..

The Smithsonian is run off of blood money. It’s all disgusting.

Project tango and blizzard were released in court documents and god, it’s clear as day what they think about regular people like you and me.
