"Ban Oxy-Contin" Petition

Hello All!

I have a exciting petition that I need your help in not only signing it but getting it promoted, and this is on the banning of oxy-contin, this drug is evil and is killing thousands and thousands of innocent people a year. This has got to stop and that depends upon the work and actions of people like you and me.

Below is the context of the petition...


"OxyContin has been implicated in thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of addictions since the FDA approved it in 1995.

OxyContin is molecularly almost identical and acts in the body in the same manner as heroin.

OxyContin has become the substitute for heroin on our streets in America.

Heroin was a legal drug in the United States until 1914 and our forefathers took action against its damaging effects.

OxyContin was unwittingly approved by the FDA as a way to help people suffering chronic pain that Purdue Pharma indicated was not as addictive as some alternatives.

Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin, and three executives of the company pled guilty to lying about the addictive qualities of OxyContin and paid a fine of $680 million.

Even though the companys admitted lies have been a part of thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of addictions, no Purdue executive went to jail and the FDA has allowed OxyContin to remain on the market.

There are other products as effective as OxyContin at controlling pain But none with the overt history of abuse and misrepresentation as OxyContin.

OxyContin is the virus that started an epidemic of addiction and death that has infected every community in America.

The FDA must eliminate the virus that started the damage and destruction from a drug that is interchangeable with heroin.

It is time for the FDA to remove OxyContin from the marketplace.

By signing this petition, you are requesting the FDA to immediately ban the distribution of OxyContin to new patients. You are asking the FDA to create a compassionate program to be put in place for the relatively small numbers who are presently taking OxyContin that cannot be switched to another opioid. The compassion we feel for those in pain can be achieved without OxyContin."
