Yeah, I mean, conceivably you could, but maybe Bezos doesn't want to dip into it. You can buy it in a gas station.

Yeah, and I think that while there are problems associated with it, I do think that having a semi-regulated supply of an opioid relative to just totally untested, totally unregulated powders represents a step in the right direction where people will still get into trouble, but you'll have a much... smaller number of overdose deaths.

I mean, the bigger issue, of course, is that I alluded to this earlier, and it's maybe a controversial statement to say that drugs aren't the cause of drug problems. But when you look at 2021, a record number of drug overdose deaths in the United States, you have more people dying of drug overdose deaths than ever before in history.

Yeah. And that's I would say that that's probably not a coincidence. We're going to blame the Sackler family for that. I think that there's I think you had a very clear indication. Everyone knew that opioids were addictive. There were endless news stories about it.

And so if you're going to say, oh, the Sacklers pulled the wool over everybody's eyes and nobody knew that opioids were addictive by 2021, that's not a valid argument.

And yet you have record awareness and record overdoses. So what's different? The difference is there's a fucking pandemic and everyone is miserable and unemployed and isolated and atomized and sitting in front of their computer, feeling lonely and sad. And they are psychologically ultra susceptible to developing drug problems.

That's an interesting way of putting it. I mean, just one quick story. It actually involves Thomas. I don't think he'd mind me telling the story. I think it's like, so Thomas and I lived together. And Thomas' father died from cancer. And he was in a very typical scenario that people are in when they have a loved one die of cancer. His father had been prescribed morphine for the cancer pain.
