Here's a summary on the collaboration between the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and an England pharma company called Reckitt & Colman (later became Reckitt Benckiser, then Indivior) and their push of their buprenorphine products, Subutex and Suboxone, to market: 🧵

The anti opioid hysteria affects tens of millions of patients & families. It causes untold suffering incl suicides. It has little effect on drug use among ‘addicts’ who always find drugs (abundant on streets). Addiction is rare, regardless. What does it take to end this?

Veterans Need to Oppose VA’s PDMP Expansion Before Their Prescription Records Become Another Unchallengeable Risk File https://t.co/3zOesn0Rld

[Brandy Lee @Breelee420]

Here we go. Sensational headline. The shakedown continues. Illicit drugs continue flowing and Meth use is absolutely increasing across America but they will get the easy target-Doctors and take away safe RX.

Prescription opioid deaths didn’t drop despite cutting legitimate prescribing by 50%’ isn’t the flex you think it is.

It proves these cuts accomplished absolutely NOTHING to lower overdoses, and overall opioid deaths skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, you tortured real pain patients with forced tapers, pharmacy refusals, and denial of care. Those harms?

You refuse to track or admit them. So while industry reps use this data to push their non-opioid meds and try to eliminate opioids completely, they’re actually showing how their whole approach benefited nobody but their own profits.

Stop gaslighting patients. Your ‘solution’ failed us."
Yes I am looking at you @nonopioidchoice @VertexPharma @PaciraBio

[Bev Schechtman🇮🇱 @ibdgirl76]

Sure, let’s keep talking about the Sacklers and the “opioid lobby” from 2001 while ignoring the astroturf operation happening right now.

Voices for Non-Opioid Choices was launched with Pacira seed money and is run by Chris Fox of Venn Strategies, whose clients include Pacira and Vertex.

Then they push the NOPAIN Act while rarely disclosing any of it.

Voices is not a "grassroots" anything. They are created by industry for industry which only seems to matter if the Sackler name is attached to it.

But please, tell us again about Purdue.

@hoss_tagge Exactly!

Public health should ban water because it causes >99% of drownings.

One death is one too many.

Most misuse/abuse and have become dependent on water.

There are also equally effective alternatives for hydration:

-Diet

-CBT

-Mindfulness

-And many more!

@OuidThe Gee....I wonder why no one is helping you get your pain addressed.

Hint...it's not a "them" or "they" problem.

If it was wrong for pain orgs and Purdue, then it is wrong for Shatterproof and pharma. ALL nonprofits should be made to make public their industry funding. Period. Full stop. Enough of giving pharma funded addiction orgs a different set of rules. Let's start with Shatterproof, Rummler Hope, and FedUp!

@morris__brown @CMerandi What does this have to do with the comment made by the wife of this retired Navy Seal. You insinuating its disability fraud? That most veterans on VA disability are committing fraud? Bold statement.

Tread carefully.

Many say that it was Oxycodone that started off the overdose crisis seen today.

Nope.

It was Cocaine, Methadone, and Illicitly Manufactured Nonpharmaceutical Fentanyl.

Bev at DPF secured a meeting so that patient harms could be shared. The conversation has now been initiated! For that we give thanks!
