62: Pink Elephant

Purdue Pharma and the Felony Murder Rule

The hosts discuss the role of Purdue Pharma in the opioid crisis, noting that the company paid billions in fines but no executives went to jail. Mo argues that under the "felony murder rule," pharmaceutical executives and doctors running "pill mills" should be charged with murder for the thousands of overdose deaths they facilitated. He also introduces "pink elephant," a deadly mix of heroin and fentanyl.
