Prescription drug abuse is working in cohorts with the illegal drug industry to encourage a nation of controlled feeble addicts.
According to the New Yorker, OxyContin has added 35 billion to the Settler family fortune since 1995. The sole ingredient in OxyContin is Oxycodone, a chemical cousin to heroin. How is the legal?
Purdue, the drug company owned by the Sackler family manufacturing OxyContin engages in unethical marketing tactics. How this is news to anyone is beyond me considering we already know it is a chemical variant of Heroin.
Purdue launched OxyContin with a marketing campaign that attempted to counter this attitude and change the prescribing habits of doctors. The company funded research and paid doctors to make the case that concerns about opioid addiction were overblown, and that OxyContin could safely treat an ever-wider range of maladies. Sales representatives marketed OxyContin as a product “to start with and to stay with.” Millions of patients found the drug to be a vital salve for excruciating pain. But many others grew so hooked on it that, between doses, they experienced debilitating withdrawal.
If this doesn’t make you sick, you have no soul. This drug literally makes people slaves. It can take less than a week for individuals to become addicted to OxyContin, for some people just a few doses.
No wonder this is a good product to “start with and to stay with”…
There is a direct correlation between the Settler family and the opiate crises.
Psychopathic elites are killing people. We let it happen. The drug lobby has a powerful say in American politics. Elites run our country.
That is why former President Obama did little to nothing to stop this exploding crisis. Don’t forget this crisis peaked under his leadership. But, he didn’t care. They paid him off. He was their puppet.
Contrast that with what President Trump said in his recent speech on opiate addiction.
- In 2016, more than two million Americans had an addiction to prescription or illicit opioids.
- Since 2000, over 300,000 Americans have died from overdoses involving opioids.
- Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of injury death in the United States, outnumbering both traffic crashes and gun-related deaths.
- In 2015, there were 52,404 drug overdose deaths — 33,091 of those deaths, almost two-thirds, involved the use of opioids.
- The situation has only gotten worse, with drug overdose deaths in 2016 expected to exceed 64,000.
- This represents a rate of 175 deaths a day.
Could you imagine if a mass shooting happened every day killing 175 people a day? It wouldn’t be classified a shooting, it would be labeled a massacre. That is what the corrupt ruling class is doing to the American people, one prescription at a time.

fDA is bought and paid for
I can’t understand why they want to shame everybody who takes opioids for their pain. It makes me sick! There are many people, including myself who take opioids responsibly to control their chronic pain. I don’t sell or give away my pills, and I take them as directed. Those of you who are like me, don’t let anyone shame you into giving up what lessens your pain. The opioid crisis was caused by drug addicts, a pure and simple fact!
Legalize marijuana.
