That's right! in 2011 they switched the formulation of OxyContin. The opiate crisis didn't start then, but it got a whole lot worse! The Sackler decision had a pretty big effect on me. It's hard not to grow up when I did, lose people you know to the opiate crisis, and not feel a deep sense of unfairness and wrong when the people responsible for so much suffering stay out of jail with a million dollars. As much as you can blame them for that one act, it's the iron law of drug prohibition at play: Meth becomes Crystal, and opiates become more concentrated. Easier to smuggle, better profit margins, it really only goes one direction: the drugs get more potent every year prohibition is in effect.
