Who #Profits from the #Opioid_Crisis?

Meet the #Secretive #Sackler_Family Making Billions from #OxyContin

This week, President Donald #Trump’s nominee for #drug_czar, Republican Congressmember #Tom_Marino, had to withdraw from #consideration after a Washington Post/”60 Minutes” investigation found he #led a #drug_industry_backed effort to pass a #law that #weakened the U.S. #Drug #Enforcement #Administration’s (DEA) ability ?? to #crack_down on #addictive_opioids.

Meanwhile, calls are growing to look at the major #pharmaceutical companies that have fueled the #opioid_crisis.

A new investigation by Esquire magazine reveals how the secretive #Sackler_family, owners of the company that invented #OxyContin, downplayed the risks of addiction and exploited doctors’ confusion over the drug’s strength. We speak with Christopher Glazek, the Esquire reporter behind the story.

#Memory_Lane | #BIG_PHARMA ⚕️ 😷 💉 💊 | The MAN who MADE billions of dollars from #OxyContin is #Pushing a #Drug to #Wean #Addicts #Off #Opioids | #Purdue_Pharma | Richard Sackler..

Following hundreds of #lawsuits over the #years against #Pharmaceutical Giant Purdue Pharma, #Colorado’s attorney general is #suing the OxyContin creator for its “ #Significant role in causing the #Opioid_Epidemic.”

The lawsuit claims Purdue Pharma L.P. and Purdue Pharma Inc. #deluded_doctors and #patients in Colorado about the potential for #addiction with #prescription opioids and continued to push the drugs.

And it comes amid news that the company’s former chairman and president, Richard Sackler, has #Patented a #NEW_DRUG to help wean addicts from opioids. “Purdue’s habit-forming medications coupled with their reckless marketing have robbed children of their parents, families of their sons and daughters, and destroyed the lives of our friends, neighbors, and co-workers,” Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said Thursday in a statement. “While no amount of money can bring back loved ones, it can compensate for the enormous costs brought about by Purdue’s intentional misconduct.”

How the misleading marketing of one pain pill helped get America addicted. The lawsuit states that Purdue Pharma “downplayed the risk of addiction associated with opioids,” “exaggerated the benefits” and “advised health care professionals that they were violating their Hippocratic Oath and failing their patients unless they treated pain symptoms with opioids,” according to the statement from the Colorado attorney general’s office.
