Cape Canaveral space port in eastern Florida: it’s spread across over 200 square miles.  In the centre are the rocket factories and science labs.  While the launch pads are scattered along the coastline about four miles to the east.  From here over 400 people have blasted into space.  ibid.

 

‘At lift-off it was real shaky … real big vibration …’  ibid.  Charles Duke

A patient survey form.  You say, I got back pain.  The problem is that no-one ever saw the patient.  As long as they have any kind of credit card they were fine.  You’d have a doctor on the east coast, a patient and drug seeker on the west coast, the pharmacy was in the mid-west.  It was just a trafficking organisation that was hiding behind the veil of the internet.  Alex Gibney, The Crime of the Century II ***** HBO 2021           

 

Broward County has more pill-mills (142) than McDonalds.  ibid.       

 

Superior Injury Centre 870-6370.  ibid.      

 

There was one store in particular that was known by drug dealers as the go-to: CVS Pharmacy.  ibid.     

 

In 2011 there was a crack-down by the DEA.  Operation Pill Nation involved more than 500 law-enforcement officers resulting in seizures of 7 vehicles, $19 million in cash and 105 arrests.  ibid.     

 

But the real problem wasn’t on the street.  It was in the Executive Suites of pharmaceutical companies which had become addicted to the profits opioids could deliver.  ibid.        

 

Workers disciplined in Prozac mailings: At least one Lilly’s employee fired; seven face various other measures.  ibid.        

 

The product was Act-Tiv.  It was a lolly-pop made of Fentanyl whose potency carried the enormous risk of overdose.  ibid.          

 

They start paying exorbitantly, a huge number of speaker programs, and they use the speaker program basically as a way of cover for the bribes they are paying.  ibid.  whistleblower          

 

Clearly we’re breaking the law.  ibid.           

 

CVS Pharmacy: on the edge of a highway, so people would cruise in, get their drugs, and be out in no time at all.  ibid.    

I know they’re sick like me.  Gotta be number one.  ibid.   

 

These changes are good to one way of thinking in the sense that they make it harder to buy and abuse pharmaceutical opioids.  But what that does is it drives all these people who are already addicted on to the black market.  ibid.   

 

International drug cartels catered to those who had become addicted to prescription pills.  As their need for narcotics increased and doctors were more reluctant to prescribe increasing doses, users turned to heroin, and a synthetic opioid fifty times more powerful: Fentanyl.  ibid.   

 

1Since 2015, Fentanyl overdoses have been rising dramatically.  Rates have soared by 2000% in San Diego.  ibid.   

 

The company told me nothing ever.  ibid.  salesman/whistleblower   

 

Late in 2020 the Trump administration rushed to make an announcement for the presidential election.  Pleading guilty to three felony counts, the Sackler family would pay a $225 million fine.  Purdue Pharma would plead guilty to kickbacks and fraud.  And promise to pay fines totalling $8.3 billion.  ibid.  

 

Purdue is in bankruptcy and only has about $1 billion which a whole bunch of creditors are already fighting over.  That money is never going to be paid by the company or anybody else.  ibid.    

 

A cruel irony: the only way the company could pay damages was to increase its sales of drugs, including Oxycontin.  ibid.  

 

 

A legendary creature called the [Florida] Skunk Ape … dozens of sightings … ‘People describe the face as being somewhere between a human and an ape, very broad shoulders, no neck, very long arms.’  The Proof is Out There s1e5, History 2022

 

 

Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and with my time on the cruise ships there’s one place that became my home away from home: Florida.  Holidaying with Jane McDonald s1e2: Florida, Channel 5 2020

 

This time I’m hitting the highway … to uncover the wonders of the sunshine state.  I’ll be exploring the beautiful backwaters.  ibid.

 

825 miles of glittering sands for you to enjoy.  ibid.

 

I’ve been swimming with manatees.  I’ve dated worse.  ibid.

Florida is the sinkhole capital of the world.  ibid.
