@CMerandi I see her for who she is. She is the kind of woman I am. We don’t just curl up and die when the world wants to push us back. We go on to fight back and impact history for ever.

@CMerandi I could go on with the amount of damage and harm done to America over prescription medication being restricted. The financial devastation to communities is detrimental and I’m not speaking wrong or right here just facts & reality. Leaders need to be strong to do best for all.

I swear I’ve been saying this for so many years more years than I know. I honestly go around cleaning up whenever I can and I bring garbage home with me to throw away so you know my place is in the cleanest. I still make sure that I don’t treat that earth like a garbage can.

wake up.

[MythoAmerica 🌲 @MythoAmerica]

wake up.

I can’t believe they brought the children before the public and made the children apologizes. As if they had something that they apologize for. They did probably had no idea what they were even apologizing for. It’s like apologizing for white privilege.

Why is OxyContin still so often the opening line of addiction conversations in 2026?

The drug is effectively gone. The company is bankrupt.

The Sacklers have been dragged through every courtroom, documentary, congressional hearing, and prime-time news story available.

Millions of chronic pain patients lost access to care that worked. Millions more are being denied it today.

The people who were prescribed OxyContin are still being cast as downstream addicts. Because without that origin story, the whole model collapses.

And for nearly a decade, the overdose crisis everyone claims to care about has had little to do with prescription pain medicine. It’s primarily been driven by illicit fentanyl on the street.

And yet here we are. Rick Perry goes on The Joe Rogan Experience to make the case for ibogaine therapy… and still leads with OxyContin.

In 2026. Still.

Still leading with Purdue Pharma in 2026 is an addiction treatment industry talking point - designed to keep the public angry, distracted, and compliant.

America’s Purdue obsession keeps covering up:

Prescription opioid use disorder affects 0.5% of the U.S. population. Opioid use disorder overall - prescription and illicit combined - is 3.8%.

Alcohol use disorder accounts for 71% of all substance use disorders in this country. It’s barely mentioned.

Of the roughly 80,000 annual overdose deaths, nearly 70% involve illicit synthetic opioids - primarily fentanyl. Not prescribed medication. Not OxyContin.

Because the CDC’s three-wave narrative needs OxyContin to survive.

Wave one: the rise of prescription opioids - OxyContin became the face of it.

Wave two: cut off, moved to heroin.

Wave three: heroin became illicit fentanyl.

That story justifies the disease model. The disease model justifies the funding. The funding justifies Suboxone, Narcan, treatment centers, and over $50 billion in federal intervention - an entire industry built on keeping prescription pain medicine as the original villain.

The Purdue obsession outlived Purdue.

PROP, the CDC, Hollywood, and Indivior made sure of that.

As a disabled person in New York, I’ve been shocked that since 2014 I’ve struggled to access hospitals and now even doctors for worsening chronic conditions. #rarepeoplemattertoo

@AmerMommaBear @CMerandi @supportprop I promise you that I’ll do anything and I can to prevent you from losing this dog as well. I’m a pretty good advocate for people so I just don’t see why I couldn’t transduce that into advocating for animals since I care for them so much I’m in tears 7164952036

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi @supportprop If you need help, still tell me send me a direct message and I will advocate on your behalf via virtual for the animal and no problem for free or in any way that you need. Just send me a private message if you need me I’m here for you and your animal anytime day or night

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi What is he putting in it?

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@AlaskanNative49 @CMerandi So embarrassing that I let the ball drop in any area of my health care.

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@AlaskanNative49 @CMerandi well, honestly, we don’t hear but tell me about it and I can look it up and maybe I could have the dental clinics here do what they do there for what happened to my teeth here I’ll put a picture but it’s very embarrassing but honestly it’s not my fault…

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@AlaskanNative49 @CMerandi Omg I need a dentist so bad! How did you get one to help you with the decay from the Suboxone because I was on the pain management form but it’s still caused dental decay with other factors, making my teeth bend like rubber bracking in half.

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@AlaskanNative49 @CMerandi I wish they had pulled mine!

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi Belbucca took mine!

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@GenuineSuccess4 @ibdgirl76 @Darkmdd @CMerandi @DavidESmitty It is unfortunately an example of part of the socio-economical reasons as to what circumstances can take place to limit ones access to full antagonist opiate pain medication. Yes, it sadly plays both sides of the field per say.

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi I think those use it to bully people. I would love to collaborate with you because of what you expressed today.

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi I couldn’t be more disgusted with our country. I forgot that in the scoring for risk assessment, they deny those who have had to endore the most severe “acute” pain possible as it’s the very essence of what makes someone who they are. It’s such a big part of one’s health.

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi @Facts_Matter_US They should the be the rules for you and me. It should be our status quo and be for everyone including and you of me.

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi Well at one point ↖️ yes I guess it sounds ridiculous. For some of us, this is every day of our lives and has been for years. It wasn't always this way. So honestly it's not about the context more so the intentions and hope with actions that follow. So why not compare it as above

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi @ForensicMHSA Boy do I have many

[Robin EM-powers patients @Robin_Lexi]

@CMerandi but instead, they jumped the gun. It doesn’t really make any sense because if they were just to look at my chart which they do have as EMTs, they would see that I was on medication’s, which could cause a serotonin syndrome, which could very easily make somebody pass out.
