I read this on wikipedia and thought it was interesting. Reminds me of cigarette companies and telling people cigarettes are healthy...all for an extra buck. I believe actions like this prove that humans desire for money and power is ruining society and democracy. I wonder if they actually servered jail time for their harmful false advertising. "Critics have accused Purdue of putting profits ahead of public interest by understating or ignoring the addictive potential of the drug.[28][29][30] Purdue Pharma and its top executives pleaded guilty to felony charges that they misbranded and misled physicians and the public by claiming OxyContin was less likely to be abused, less addictive, and less likely to cause withdrawal symptoms than other opiate drugs.[31] The company also paid millions in fines relating to aggressive off-label marketing practices in several states"
A YA, This was awhile ago. old news. But Purdue is still raking in the billions we spend on Oxys. well not me anymore. I'm now a Morphine king..:hurray:arty:
i wonder how much Purdue writes off in "lost/stolen" assets a year. has anyone ever met someone who stole from the manufacturing facilities?
OK i want to know what doctor went wild prescribing oxy after he heard this. jeeeezz. dude if i could only hi-jack a truck leaving that factory.... drooollll. i would die
^^^ i know right...i talked to this kid the other day and he has this connect that gets OC 80s. So i was like finally!!! hook me up. so we talked to the guy. I said "I'll take ten" he chuckled I looked confused He then says " I Don't sell less than 500, and you will have to wait because I am backed up with two orders totaling 1300 so it might be a month til I get to you" "HOLY SHIT! well just curious how much do you want for 500" "$10,000" I chuckled He hung up I was dissappointed I didnt ask at the time and i wish i had...how the fuck do you get 1300 pills...i thought a.) Straight ghetto style robbin pharmacies b.) hold up a bunch of retirement homes c.) inside man at a manufacturing facility any other ideas of how this is possible just out of curiousity?
People like that piss me off when they only sell a certain amount and won't sell anything less than that. its like this one day a while back, i wanted to buy some weed. so i go around town to the people i know who deal with weed and ask if they can get me a $10 bag. everyone says no one is selling less than 20s. i only had 10 on me so i ended up just spending it on food. but still, if the dealer is still making money, why cant they just sell what the buyer is asking for?
They sell 10 dollar bags of weed. Haven't seen that in yrs. I won't sell Oxy 80's unless you buy atleast 50 of them. But usually you have to buy 100
+1, funniest post IN THE THREAD. I was reading at that super friendly forum that won't let anyone in about people working at the plants where they manufacture this shit, and the security is mad tight, so the guy would have to be fairly smart to get away with stealing from them, especially in that quantity. I'm thinking he probably has a pharmacy connect or something like that, or else a couple of docs in his pockets. As for the amounts? SWIM was dating a dealer who would only deal quantity - and he NEVER had problems with the cops. I think it's probably a precaution to keep out of jail or something. Of course, I wouldn't know, what with my being a saint and all...
Dealing in quantity is smart. Move more weight faster. Selling a couple pills or a small ass bag of weed to one person who comes over every single day for the same little amount is stupid, IMO. And annoying. I completely understand their thought process.
It's not that complicated to figure out. He probably has a couple people who go to doctors and get prescriptions, and they don't need them...so he buys their whole script. Do that with a couple people for a month or two, and there is the quantity. EDIT: Oops, forgot I posted...shoulda just edited that post. Oh well. Free bump.
Sure but 1300 pills in a month??? that would have to be 26 people getting 50 pills a month,.... i just dont think that is how he does it....also, i never said selling in bulk was dumb...i completely agree that it is smarter and less risky but the consequences are a lot worse.
At my previous doctor, I was prescribed 120 Oxycontin 80mg a month. Most people I know are prescribed at least 60, most of them get 90 a month. Ten people getting 60 a month = 600 pills. Over two months, you have acquired 1200. The consequences might be worse, but it keeps heat off of you. If you slang to one or two people a month for bulk...you don't have to worry about being watched because of heavy traffic coming in and out of your place everyday...know what I mean? I don't sell pills, I need my pills too much, I am in constant pain. But I just understand why people would deal in bulk.
exactly then you just push drugs not deal them. You might make a little more dealing small amounts but it's not worth the hassle it puts on your life, unless your a skid and like hanging around seedy places with other skid balls.
Shit I get over 380 pills a month myself. 50 a month is for small timers with hang nails thinking they need meds.LOL
