Why do we allow people to make a profit selling habit-forming drugs? The system that protects Purdue's profits also creates this horrible incentive.

- _acme 10y agoDo you have a way of treating severe pain (such as cancer pain or post-surgical pain) that is not habit-forming?
- panic 10y agoMaybe my comment wasn't clear; I think these drugs are fine, and I think drug-related patents are at least somewhat defensible as a way to fund R&D, but in this case they're really not working very well. There shouldn't be such a huge profit incentive to ruin people's lives like this.
