You can watch the increase in opioid abuse starting in 1996 with the introduction of Oxycontin by Purdue onward through 2017 using Senate Committee data. There is no denying Purdue had an impact on drug abuse. They will walk away from this unscathed with an 8 billion dollar penalty. It is not enough. I used to chase prisoners in the Marine Corps for marijuana usage to their court martials. For a sergeant, it was dirty and sad duty. Those kids paid for being stupid.
It is the state and federal legislators that should be held accountable for this and the rising pricing of drugs regardless of cost.
For those of you who are curious, look to the Jick and Porter letter from 1980. One sentence was abused and altered by those pushing OxyContin. "We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction. "
They dropped the "use of narcotic drugs (opioids) in a hospitals."
