Based on numbers alone, it's obvious they weren't even seeing patients at all and selling directly to drug gangs. Selling more pills than would be lethal to the entire population of the county they were being sold in is simply being a wholesale distributor.
- refurb 3y agoExactly. Punish Perdue for lying about their product, that’s fine. But Oxycotin was always a schedule 2 drug - the most restrictive category for prescription drugs. Schedule 2 includes things like morphine, cocaine, barbiturates. Highly addictive medicines. Perdue could lie all they want, but without doctors basically selling scripts of the stuff people wouldn’t have access to it. I’m kind of surprised the DEA took that long to get on top of it. The data should have been clearly apparent like a year into the problem.
