After reading that, I realize I really do have some floor dry to sift for my ppk.
Prior to reading that I had no intent to sift the damn stuff today.
Now I am looking forward to it.

I guess they don't want any competition for the methadone clinics.

^^ or so they can start charging up the ass for it at methadone clinics.

Actually suboxone has been the revenue generator for quite a while now.
I would imagine they must have several new product lines targeting
'that' part of the market by now. Bet they won't be cheap.
Being a chronic pain patient for a long time.
Would like to see the Sackler family get 'the Philippine cure' but if there
were any justice in this world, it would not always be the women and kids
out there scraping and wiping pods.
In China, when opium use was at it's peak, the most
prized possession of a refined consumer,
were opium cats.
To say that such creatures would have been treated
divinely, would be a gross understatement.

...

i have been seeing suboxone adverts in my web browser from time to time
i guess any looking at cannabis sites puts you on the list for buying big pharma's brand
still, i thought that was pretty fucked up, anyone still wondering why there's an opiod epidemic?

Big Pharma doesn't want people healing themselves.

Not sure they ever had any interest in 'healing'. From the inception, Rockefeller medicine aka big pharma has been about generating continuing streams of revenue. They represent the interests of their investors, not those who are ill.

3.6 million people prescribed suboxone in the USA alone..
3.6 million at $20 day(minimum)..
Reckit bensicker is pulling in at least 72 million dollars a day on suboxone prescriptions... probably more as most people are prescribed more than one 8mg tablet per day. (16 mg a day being the average dose).

I agree at this point it’s not about medicine it’s about $...
The solution to an opiate problem is not higher powered and longer lasting opiates..
(At least imo)...
suboxone has its place as a treatment option... but putting teenage Johnny on suboxone for life because he took his grammas Vicodin for a few months is criminal imho

the cycle of history continues
back in the day heroin was introduced as the cure for morphine addiction

There's a very long history of addicting people on drugs for profit. This is just one... https://www.britannica.com/topic/opium-trade
