Oxycodone was pitched as non-addicting. Opioids generally were pitched as non-addicting because they were by prescription, under control of doctors. That protection scheme obviously failed miserably.


view as:

Oxycodone was created by a pharmaceutical company and marketed in a way that would earn them a profit.

Marijuana and psilocybin have been around for literal ages with widespread use. LSD and ketamine are synthesized, but we have decades of experience with them.


Marijuana use was first banned in the 13th century with the death penalty, so yeah, it's an old problem.

because there was a profit motive to lie.
