Opiod "crisis"

[baseline bum]

Bull , bum. It is a medication for pain, extreme pain that alleviated that pain almost at once. It was a blessing. A monumental miracle that came to us, and as usual the weak s in our society ed it up for EVERYONE. Just thank Christ every single time I got a script for it, I filled it. "But, I don't need it, Girl, the Aleve is good enough."

"Fill it, Dale, fill it!"

"Okay, okay, already, holler but like don't hit."

So, I have a cache of hundreds, just in case. You know where half of that stash is? In the Wells Fargo safe deposit box. It-is-gold.

It's a ing drug the Sacklers lied about being safe when pushing onto doctors, and now we're down half a million in America thanks to those gangsters. Should just federally legalize weed so people can get high safely.

It was safe if taken according to the directions and warnings. It was all there in B&W and the doctors dispensing it always told me the goods. But, there is a significant portion of this populace (and growing) who abuse anything good for bad purposes.

And they'd the (legal weed up) just like they ed the Oxy up.

You're mad because you let RBG go to waste. You're usually on something like that with 100% accuracy and wily gusto. Not that time, thank Christ.

Now, you're coming at Thomas for the 2nd time, 1st time didn't work as he told ya's to go back and your mothers some more. Where ya's really ed up though was going after Bork like that. That got our attention and taught us how to do ya's likewise and we ain't let go yet.

It was/is a wonder drug but the s element in this country all over it, wrecking it for the good people, who, if they didn't stash a supply when they had the chance now have nary alternative except over the counter meds. Those are the people I feel sorry for, Blake.

population scale drug peddlers get a slap on the wrist

Publicis Health, a subsidiary of Publicis Groupe, agreed to pay $350 million to resolve claims by all U.S. states and territories that it helped OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma devise marketing strategies to boost sales of its prescription opioid painkiller.

Massachusetts, which sued Publicis in 2021 alleging it collected more than $50 million to help Purdue get doctors to prescribe its opioids to more patients, for longer periods of time, and at higher doses, served on the executive committee of states investigating the company.
