So opioids are very hard to get at this point. However... the equivalent to a 747 jet worth of people are dying every day to opioid related deaths because now that they cannot get opioids via clinicians, they've turned to black market. You've already created and perpetuated the problem. Now you've cut off the source and these people are turning to, you know, uh,

products from Mexico that are indirectly coming from China that are cut with fentanyl. And that's candidly what killed my brother. And so it's tragic. And then the most frustrating of all is Purdue Pharma's new blockbuster drug for opioid abuse.

They are now selling the cure to opioid abuse, which is a new product that does help reduce opioids and has way less side effects, but it is also addictive. So you're giving a new addictive product to an addict and now monetizing and perpetuating the problem you created.

So what happened with opioids? How have they been pulled? So opioids, they put a lot of restrictions in place to make it harder. It's called triplicate. Clinicians have to document, document, document, and then prove they can justify and their license is at risk. And people went to prison because they were over... Protecting against overprescription.

We've got to put wins on the board and we've got to get the weight off. But I say this all the time.
