Its like every villain from a movie where they have some world killing poison. Its always them and only them with the antidote. Makes sense.

Uh, that's good tho. And it's not like they don't have an actual use. This is a stupid thing to hate on >_>.

If you can literally use it for intense pain and then have something to help get off it when you get over the pain. That's advancements like a mother fucker.

They should be losing, and the shareholders writing an apology to everyone the cure is going to.

These halfway cures like suboxone that people stay on forever that keep them slightly fucked up forever are like Soma.

Why is this so bad? Do you have problem with Toyota profiting from replacement parts when the parts on their cars break or wear out? It's basically the same thing.

Not when the drug company knew it would cause addictions. Your analogy works if you say Toyota knowingly released cars with shitty parts because they know they'll make money off the replacements.

Because the companies incentivize physicians to overprescribe them without letting the public know the full dangers of addiction.

They come with papers warning you about addiction. But that shit wasn't around when I first got prescribed opioids. Id of ignored it anyway, I was 19. At 30, I don't want to be prescribed anything else addictive.
