show moreThere is an opioid crisis. People are overdosing. Opioid use is ruining lives and drug company's are profiting . In addition drug dealers on the street are lacing other drugs with Fentanyl. Now these super drugs are being sold and some people don't know this. Therefore they buy these drugs and they overdose from it because their bodies can't handle it. An easy solution to the problem is just don't do drugs. Unfortunately it's not that easy. Furthermore the problem is with opioids it is very easy to get addicted. If you have a knee or a back surgery and you get prescribed Oxycodone. It's pretty normal. The thing is once you use it you start getting used to it, then getting off is really hard.
Above all it is believed that these men willfully stocked pharmacies that were not supposed to have Oxycodone. They were supposed to file paperwork to the DEA on what they thought were bad practices and they didn't. They valued profits over people's lives and that is horrible! How do you punish such a powerful company though? It is said they will have to pay a 20 million dollar fine and reform it's compliance program. This is pretty much a slap on the wrist and doesn't set an example from prohibiting other company's from doing this.
