“If it is really true that the problem is contaminants,” said Humphreys, “that opioids are not being made and distributed under tight regulation by legal manufacturers, then no one would ever have died from OxyContin. It is weird to me to hear people who think of themselves as leftists slinging a line that the most shameless corporate attorney for Purdue Pharma would be embarrassed to raise in court. Because that was what they said, right? ‘OxyContin’s not dangerous.’ ‘Give it as much as you want.’ ‘There’s no risk of addiction or overdose’ That is just the same rhetoric over again!”
