How do you think people would react to a major corporation selling heroin?
Is that going well for the existing companies selling OxyContin?
Is it going well for the people prescribed it, or are they abusing/ODing on that as well?
- pharrington 8y agoPurdue Pharma is still doing pretty damn well. The problem isn't in using opiates to treat pain - it is Purdue's marketing actively lying about the addiction potential of OxyContin.
- User23 8y agoYou mean for example Bayer? They lost the Heroin trademark the same time they lost the Aspirin trademark, due to the war. Both were a product of the acetylate all the things school of medicinal chemistry.
- nyolfen 8y agoyes, for instance bayer, a company that still regularly gets trotted out to highlight the evils of pharma companies for among other things selling heroin one hundred years ago
- jowsie 8y agoYou do realise that heroin is still used in hospitals all across the world on a daily basis for routine surgeries. A company is making and selling that heroin.
