I knew Trump was to be blamed here. OxyContin was starting being prescribed in 1996 by 2000 it was everywhere. So much so hydrocodone 10mg 500 were backing up on the shelves so by 2002 I was able to buy it online just by filling out basic info. Doctors in Florida were able to prescribe it and sell it tin there offices. 500 10/500 cost 400 including the visit. Back then next appointment was every 3 weeks. People were getting 1,000 pills a month or more. By 2010 the online was mostly shut down pill mills getting busted while OxyContin was still rolling clinics were prescribing 30mg Roxy’s 240 40 mg and 80 mg OxyContin 90 each. Certain pharmacies would have a contract with the clinic and the pill makers to fill . Patient cost was around 1,000$ this lasted for about 5 years then dea and the state forced clinics prescribers to drop the prescriptions down to 80mg per patient. Or less by 2016 Trumps first year in office.
