The sacklers manufactured a legal product that sold (legally) via perscription only. If anybody should be sued it is the individual doctors who made millions operating pill mills. Meanwhile real patients suffering from chronic pain now have more difficult access to effective treatments due to the moral panic. How about some individual responsibility? If you choose to misuse your pain medication so that you develop addiction and then go further and transfer to using street drugs and overdose on heroin cut with fentanyl then it is your own fault. Though I will note the transfer to street drugs is often impelled by the above mentioned moral panic restricting supply. I say this as somebody who had a family member die of an "heroin" (who knows what's in it) overdose after starting with perscribed painkillers.
