What Can We Say About a System that Criminalizes a Safe Painkiller (0 Deaths) and Promotes Big Pharma Opiates that Have Killed 165,000 Americans?
Set your mindset to objective and come with me to the little-known but plucky nation of Lower Slobovia. The residents of Lower Slobovia have two choices when they are suffering from chronic pain:
1.
A natural, non-addictive medication that they can grow themselves that
has never caused a single fatality due to overdose, adverse reactions or
mixing with other drugs (polypharmacy), or
2.
synthetic opiates manufactured by pharmaceutical corporations that are
highly addictive, trigger multiple adverse reactions, manifest dangerous
polypharmaceutical attributes and have killed over 165,000 people in
the past 15 years– 28 times the nation’s5,790 combat deaths in recent military conflicts.
The
corporations manufacturing and distributing the synthetic opiates as
“safe” hid the truth about their medications from doctors, patients and
the media: ‘You Want a Description of Hell?’ Oxycontin’s 12-Hour Problem (via John F.) OxyContin’s
stunning success masked a fundamental problem: The drug wears off hours
early in many people, a Los Angeles Times investigation found.
OxyContin is a chemical cousin of heroin, and when it doesn’t last,
patients can experience excruciating symptoms of withdrawal, including
an intense craving for the drug.
So
take a guess which class of drugs is perfectly legal and widely
promoted by Lower Slobovia’s healthcare system, and which one is
classified as a restricted Schedule 1 drug by the nation’s Drug
Enforcement Agency (DEA), i.e. as dangerous as heroin?
I suspect you saw this coming, right?
The natural painkiller that never killed a single soul and can be grown
at home is criminalized, while the drugs that have already killed
165,000 people (a number that grossly understates the total number of
deaths at least partly attributable to synthetic opiates) and addicted
and/or harmed millions of other users is perfectly legal, declared
“safe” by the pushers (oops, I mean pharmaceutical manufacturers) and
the government, and distributed in the tens of millions of doses by the
“healthcare” system.
Lower
Slobovia’s DEA, the corporate manufacturers of the killer-opiates and
its healthcare system that slavishly distributes millions of the killer
pills should be immediately escorted to
