The Sacklers should definitely be in jail. But everyone in the value chain is culpable. Why did insurance pay for these for almost anyone? Why did doctors prescribe it so liberally? What about the med reps that (until recently) basically all but bribed doctors to push their new drugs? What about the FDA and monitoring the quantity and velocity of these prescriptions?
It used to be that, outside of the hospital, people only got morphine at end of life. What did we think would happen when we started handling them out like Skittles?

The hindsight that the FDA should have monitored it or that it should have been classified higher, was the responsibility of the universally corrupt idiots that are elected to the US Congress.
