Please, please please remember - addiction is a treatable medical condition. Legit prescribing rates have no effect on overdose deaths. Suppliers of illegal street drugs do more harm to us.

When these extended release meds are used according to the way they were intended, for long term chronic pain management, and not abused, they are safe. They shouldn't take full blame for doctors that didnt prescribe them right, or for users that misused them.

The history and ramifications of the drug trade in America... ☕☕☕👀👀👀👀

So that all the C-level and up employees/stock holders can loot the company and get away with it, leaving lower level employees unemployed and without their pension plans, etc... Corporate Bankruptcy is a get-out-of-jail-free card for the rich. Don't let them get away with it.

See. How does this help dependents? Those in pain with nothing else to take but opiates
