In Mexico it is called cartels (illegal), in the US it is called pharmaceutical companies (legal)
-
my right earbud loved this video
-
“In 2009 the DEA slapped McKesson, the countries largest distributor of pharmaceuticals with a $13.4 million fine!” Wow, I bet that taught them a lesson...
-
11:49 gave me chills, when the interviewer says “this is the DEA” and the agent just looks so defeated saying “yeah you would think” they want to do their job and we want them to do their job too but they just can’t. These pharmaceutical companies really broke the system, corrupted it. It’s a da*m shame.

Lobbying should be made illegal.
-
The rich & powerful have a different set of rules to live by. Our laws don’t apply; they use power or money to buy their way around them. Corporations, big pharma, big oil, private prisons...lobbyists get laws passed not the people. Until we get dark money out of politics corporations will continue to purchase our politicians and our government. We still have our voting power. Vote!
-
If I were a DEA officer and watched my own government and my fellow agents turn on me I would assume that they had been paid off, and then I would black ops those fools in the dark.
-
RICO Act should be applied to corporate leadership.
-
The War on Drugs seems to be a war on competition: legal drugs winning; same as the War on Terrorism, where legal terror is also winning!
-
DEA and FDA Directors do what Senators and president staff tell them to do. Pharmaceutical industry finance political campaigns and good money to doctors and scholars to testify in public hearings. The corruption inside the congress had been there for a long time.

Greed is a cancer
-
Follow the money and what do you find? People in places of public trust that are despicable.
-
I love that one of the coauthors of a story called "The Whistleblower" has the last name "Hornblower".
-
It’s plum said and heartbreaking how things became in the mist of my absence
-
This is sick what they got away with for so long because I was taking hydrocodone for one year in 1996 97 but I was lucky to stop taking them. But everyone don't have the strong will too fight the addiction.
-
It's chilling how all the bad guys succeeded at the expense of the good guy
-
Well the DEA got what they wanted. They have total control over pain meds now. Pain clinics are to scared to prescribe pain meds. They prescribe too little or don’t prescribe at all. It’s always sad to see cancer patients get rejected pain medicine.
-
As a person that was on those pain pills for almost 20 years I'm so glad they did what they did I wish they did sooner and harder it wouldn't have destroyed my life those companies profits destroyed me and my life thank you gentleman I wished it was sooner and harder but thank you
-
How about a bill that stops the revolving door.
-
You have a crime conspiracy ring. Use RICO!
