Big Pharma empire behind OxyContin now selling overdose cure

The gleaming white booth towered over the medical conference in Italy in October, advertising a new brand of antidote for opioid overdoses. “Be prepared. Get naloxone. Save a life,” the slogan on its walls said.

Some conference attendees were stunned when they saw the company logo: Mundipharma, the international affiliate of Purdue Pharma — the maker of the blockbuster opioid, OxyContin, widely blamed for unleashing the American overdose epidemic. Here they were cashing in on a cure.
========================================================================
Get your two-fer from this satanic enterprise - first get blasted until your nearly dead & then hope you can get the antidote naloxone into you before you take your last breath.

Because of the deliberate admixture of the potent opioid fentanyl with heroin, this has become the mixture of choice for heavy duty narcodicts. Problem seems to be that many of them are already dead with the needle still in their vein.

The beauty of naloxone is that virtually every ambulance & police car carries it in order to respond to OD cases.

Why does Monsanto come to mind?
Oh yeah, they make Round-up herbicide and also sell soy beans that are modified to resist Round-up.

An aside- naloxone kits are freely available in Canada. If I or someone I know used opiods, or if I just passed daily through a part of town where lots of people did, I could get one free and carry it.

What's wrong with social Darwinism - self-extermination of the unfit to live among us? Survival of the fittest - or at least the non-addicted.

I say make drugs easily available to addicts. The drug problem isn't thaf some losers are ruining their lives with drugs, the problem is they're stealing from you and me to get them. Also making some vile, despicable people very rich. The system as is rewards the most evil, anti-social behaviour imaginable. Take the high price out of the equation and the problem is solved.

It also costs a lot of $$$ to care for the OD victims, who go right back to it inmost cases.

Not here it doesn't. Or in most developed western nations. An OD treated with naloxone on the sidewalk costs very little. But you're right about the repetition- there's been cases of a single person being treated twice in one night for overdose.
But if every overdose died on the streets it wouldn't reduce the amount of OD's. Or reduce the demand for opiods. Heroin is actually very cheap to produce legally and it makes no sense at all to leave the distribution of it in the hands of those evil bastard drug dealers when the government could solve the drug problem so easily. All it takes is admitting It's not a morality issue and looking honestly at what's causing the problem.

It is certainly a morality issue. It is immoral to use drugs as an escape because of the damage it does to society and we have such a widespread issue because we’ve backed off strict enforcement of drug possession and vagrancy laws

Alcohol is a drug yet you missed the morality of that substance.

Who do you believe views the use of politically incorrect drugs as a moral issue?

Certainly not conservatives or liberals, so who's left?

What damage? In and of itself, using drugs to escape doesn't do any damage to society.

They are transitioning to another herbicide that is more nasty than round up due to break through weeds adapting to round up.

As for drug addicts, there is a point at which I stop caring and people that stone-cold addicted will most likely end up dead anyway.

Strict enforcement has never worked. Drug prohibition is why the US is the most incarcerated country and also why It's the most violent. You make drugs the most profitable business and the quickest way to escape poverty and this is what happens- folks kill each other for a piece of the pie and nasty, evil people get rich.
Did you know there's people serving life sentences for marijuana? No guns involved, no kids, just pot. Does that sound right to you?

I just finished replying to a post from a conservative who said exactly that.
And what are "politically incorrect drugs"?

Virtually none of what you wrote is true.

The United States is not the worlds most violent country, strict enforcement of narcotics laws is in part responsible for a 50% drop in the rate of violent crime, no one is serving life sentences for marijuana possession offenses. You should try vetting your talking points before using them.

Okay, not the most violent in the world, just in the developed world. And yes, people are serving life for pot.

Drug prohibition hasn't worked any better than alcohol prohibition did. Without drug prohibition those billionaire drug lords would be shoplifting cell phones and robbing liquor stores.

These were not casual users, they were major distributors.

They were serving life sentences for selling very large amounts.

Prohibition was highly successful, there is this urban legend that prohibition was not successful, in fact prohibition achieved all of its objectives. Per capita consumption of alcohol sharply declined, alcoholism sharply declined, liver diseases sharply declined. Etc.

The fact someone makes money breaking the law is not an excuse to repeal a law.

Much of the country lives in denial. All of the MSM lives in denial, and they are filthy rich.

Living in denial can make one very popular in certain circles.
