Wasn't there a recent story in the news where a major producer of legal opioids, started also producing the methadone to wean addicts off them? Wish I could find a reference
Truly sociopathic.

Let me get this straight. You're positing that a single person pushed Oxy so hard in the 70s, intentionally getting people addicted so that one day, some 40 years later, he might patent one of many drugs that helps deal with withdraw symptoms?
That is quite the long, convoluted con.
Now, they're selling a treatment.
Did they always plan to sell the treatment? Likely not. Is it unconscionable that after profiting off addicting millions of people to a drug, they are now trying to get their slice of the cure? Yes, absolutely.

Hard disagree. That they haven't been properly punished for past crimes doesn't make it unreasonable for them to continue doing business.
