Exactly. They saved me when I was going through excruciating pain a few years ago. Yes, they made me feel good and I could see how you would want to keep taking them but I never came anywhere close to getting addicted. I think it's a shame that a very helpful drug has been vilified because people can't control their impulses.

I know people that did it with a syringe, they called it 'Hillbilly Heroin"...

Fentanyl courtesy of China and Mexico gave Purdue’s OxyContin a run for their money too and help to put them out of business. Street narcotic drugs still remain easily available and with Fentanyl being much more potent than the Purdue product and being shot up daily in the Toronto municipal government run injection sites daily in Toronto.

My feelings exactly. There is no replacement for pain medication from what I can see.

They were effective painkillers.
They were also addictive.
The Sacklers paid big money to make it easier to get people addicted to them and sell more drugs.
They're scum.

And the company will still be making them, but to be available responsibly.

Like I said, they got off lightly.

I wouldn’t be surprised if fentanyl is targeted next...

Replace scum with smart. They took $1.36 billion from the company and sent the funds offshore before striking this meaningless deal.

Smart scum is still scum.
