    So she left because a couple of pharmacies in her terrority got robbed and because of the bad press... 🤔 Not because you know, she was a glorified drug dealer, she realised it was morally wrong and basically she was helping ruin lives. She's part of the problem and clearly still in denial. Money motivated and never mind the fall out or victims left behind.

    You know who I blame? The DEA! They told doctors what they could and could not prescribe. So many patients were brought down to doses way too low or nothing at all. There is an opioid phobia. I hate to break it to you, but so many people would be alive today had it not been for them having to turn to the the street to buy god knows what from some dealer. The (american) people should have a right to decide what they put into their bodies after educating themselves.

    • @jamie-r2034

      Right! I was prescribed to Oxycontin around 2007 and after a few years, I was getting 120 Oxy 80's and 90 Oxy 30's per month. Once they started cracking down on doctors, mine got scared and literally cut me off & wished me good luck, instead of slowly weaning me down to a reasonable mg to stop. I was DEATHLY sick and like other people turned to the streets but could only afford it for so long (Oxy 80's cost $40-$60 per pill & I was buying at least 2 80's per day). I finally got on Suboxone once I lost everything and quit. Here's how crazy Oxy is - when I started to withdrawal, I would literally started planning out how I could rob a pharmacy like it was a normal thing. Thankfully I never did that though but that's the thought process of someone in withdrawal! It's been 10 years & I'm still not the same me that I used to be before Oxy entered my life. I'm glad I stopped because I hear these fentanyl pills are REALLY hard to quit.

      I blame the Sackler family, the FDA, big pharma as a whole for allowing synthetic heroin to be prescribed for problems as mild as headaches while also saying it’s essentially non addictive. They’re dope dealers and deserve to rot in prison. Amazes me people still trust the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry after that.

    Honestly I see nothing wrong with what opioid companies were doing back in the day. If only the states had been prepared with laws to limit doctor shopping and we had widespread availability of things like narcan. I believe that less then 1 percent of people get addicted from an opoid script. I've know many 100s of addicts and most of them took or bought medicine from someone then went and got a script. It wasn't the prescription that got them addicted. They were already addicted.

    • @ryanfisher8597
      @ryanfisher8597 2 года назад +1

      No dude, the only reason they got that drug label saying it was less addictive and only 1 percent get addicted was by essentially bribing someone high up in the FDA with a comfy job working for Purdue. The other difficult truth to swallow comes from the fact that the drug was addictive. People who never touched drugs were told that you can't get addicted due to the slow release tablet technology but that wasn't the case. Oxycotin wasn't the first medication that Purdue made. Before they had a drug called MS Contin which for the record is morphine and is really only used for terminal patients suffering from cancer. Children would go to doctor appointments and the doctors were given samples of a new drug labeled as nonaddicitive by the FDA! so of course they assumed it was fine to administer. Teenagers would get hooked on the very medication they was given to treat pain.

      My Dr. Kept telling me that it wasn’t addictive & if you built up a tolerance, then they would just increase it. He said it was safe. I took it as prescribed & he kept increasing it & telling me it’s OK. The drug takes over your system & makes you really sick, even if you took as prescribed. It was awful. People didn’t understand what they were being given because they were told it was safe. This drug changes people. Some people turned to crime & hard core addiction. Dr.s pushed it on people & made fake Dr. Offices & over prescribed it to just anyone.
