      13/ No, Oxycontin - a time release drug - was even less addictive than Contin, the "all at once" drug that it replaced. Funding journals and medical orgs is (a) legitimate, (b) standard practice, (c) a human right, as recognized under First Amendmenthttps://twitter.com/nothinggate/status/1319248112200933376 …

      The insidious part of what the Sacklers did was to create an entirely new subspecialty of pain management (by funding journals, CMEs, med orgs) that promoted opioid use outside the narrow field of otherwise unmanageable chronic pain. They saw addiction as a business model.

      14/ I don't see a problem being presented. What's the problem? That some people abuse opioids? OK, well, some people abuse alcohol. Should we destroy the Brown–Forman Corporation for funding ads, concerts, and bookbooks to sell Jack Daniels ?https://twitter.com/Bobthewelding1/status/1319248713173393408 …

      15/ The world is imperfect (and imperfectable). People are weak and prone to sin. As conservatives, we know all of this. And yet we still think that people have the right to drink, home-school, own guns, and drive motorcycles. Why are opioids some magically different case?

      19/ EXACTLY THE SAME PATTERN OF FACTS as the oxy settlement. Imagine next that the family that owned Colt Manufacturing was pressured "surrender the entire firm to the government, or you personally will go to jail for life". And the family fights for years, then gives up.
