John Oliver is brilliant! Clearly the Sackler family played a huge roll in helping to create the opioid epidemic.
I really don’t get the logic of blaming the opioid problem on the drug companies. I’ve been prescribed pain killers for nearly 20 years and I managed to not get addicted. Now I have to suffer when I can’t get access to pain medication because of this bullshit.
Well, the drug companies hve enabled abuse of the system in order increase their profits. It is true that when they crack down on abuses then the peopel who legitimately need opiates, liek yourself, can get harmed.
I was relly upset when they reformunlated cold medicine because crystal meth labs were usign cold medicine to make crystal meth. The mew stuff just doesn't work for me. Teh only original formulas lef that I have to buy at the pharmacy counter have side effects. They no longer make the what worked best for me. So yeah, innocents suffer because of the actions of a few bad people.
