Description

SPOILER ALERT: if you haven’t watched the series yet and are planning to, this episode may give away spoilers. In this episode, we dive into the Sackler’s which is the family behind the Netflix Limited Series: “Painkiller.” We peel back the layers on how the Sackler's started Purdue Pharma, the company that created OxyContin and the culprit behind the opioid epidemic. I discuss (among other things) the Sacker family’s history, how the Sackler’s developed and marketed OxyContin, the effects of OxyContin, how dopamine levels affect us, and so much more.
