And I can show you that step by step through the opioid crisis, since you said that's one of the things that brought, it's what brought me into this too.

You know, yeah, I was a medical device rep at the time and I was looking at building a pharmacy to provide non-abusive, non-addictive pain creams to get away from opioids. Because this opioid crisis was wrecking America. And during all of that, my brother died of opioid abuse. He had gotten addicted in high school and none of us knew how bad it was.

And he was one of, you know, millions and millions of victims that fell prey to what big pharma pumped into the marketplace.

He was injured, started out with an ACL. What a lot of people don't understand is before Oxy, they had hydrocodone. Before hydrocodone, they had Valium. And so the Sackler family was running out of their patent on hydrocodone. And they had a patent on the delivery mechanism, the cotton system, which is a time release. And so their pitch was, we can just plug in a different opioid.

And so their pitch was, we can just plug in a different opioid.

And we can grandfather in a lot of what we already went through with hydrocodone. We're just going to trade out the opioid and reapply for the patent. But the problem is that the opioid they chose was Oxy. And Oxy is eight to 10 times more addictive than hydrocodone. And they knew it. And they knew it. And they put it into the marketplace.

And, you know, if you're a kid in high school and you blow your ACL, guess what? Your doctor is going to put you on this highly addictive compound coming out the other end of surgery. And it wreaked havoc. It's wreaking havoc to this day. To this day, the equivalent to a 747 jet worth of Americans die every day of opioid related abuse. It's still happening.

This happened, no, this was, man, was it 10 years ago? So more recently. And that spurred my idea of like, we've got to bring alternatives.
