decades later they formed purdue pharma.1996, the company began selling the groundbreaking new painkiller oxycontin. the pill's special coating allowed for the slow release of oxycodone, a powerful opioid twice as strong as morphine. purdue later admitted they knew many doctors mistakenly believed morphine was stronger. >> there are e-mails where senior executives of the company say we need to be careful not to correct this misttaken assuumption by thehe doctors,s, we e need to let them think oxycodone is actually weaker, and not stronger. >> reporter: one of the executives on those e-mails, raymond sackler's son, richard, who would later become president of purdue. >> and so purdue then decides we're going to market this new drug, not just for cancer pain, but for all kinds of chronic pain. >> oxycontin is one of america's new prescription wonder drugs. >> it just changes the whole game. this is a drug that quickly became a billion dollar drug. sales were doubling or more than doubling every year. >> you can't feel good abo

what does purdue do?ny went very hard after journalists who tried to tell these stories, something they're still doing today. and they also effectively claim that the problem isn't the dr at all, that the drug is every bit as perfect as it was when we described it initially. the problem is the abusers. and so they launched this campaign to target and attack and stigmatize the very people who were overdosing and becoming addicted to their own drug. william: representatives of the sackler's say they've not read the book, but claim keefe's earlier reporting about them in the new yorker had mistakes. the family and purdue argue they weren't alone believing these opioids could be used safely, and assert they were just a fraction of overall opioid sales during this period. they note that federal regulators approved their practices and products all along. and they also argue, many of the people who abused oxycontin were doing so illegally, and to blame that on a company, or its owners, isn't fair. david sackler:

purdue representatives declined to comment for this story.ioid drugs are safe and not going to hurt them. >> the sacklers and their company, purdue pharma, set out to prove to the american medical establishment that their fears about the addictive properties of these drugs were overblown. >> reporter: people close to the sackler family point out that oxycontin's label always referred to the potential for addiction, and that the product, which is still on the market, has helped millions of people with chronic pain. in 2010, purdue reformulated oxycontin to make it harder to abuse. representatives of sackler family members who served on purdue's board in recent years say they acted ethically and lawfully at a virtual congressional hearing in december, david and kathy sackler argued the family relied on purdue management. >> let me conclude by saying this what you've heard by the press about the sacklers is most certainly wrong and highly distorted. >> i have to say, i can't -- there is nothing that i can find that i would have done differently.

i am the president and campus coordinator of turning point usa at purdue. in the past five years, there have been 99 this invitation attempts from universities to various invited speakers. as we are seeing a rise in political polarization, it is seen in the foundation of individual rights to this invitation database that the rate has been increasing since 2015 and it is expected this issue will continue unless we find a way to turn down hostility. schools -- outright -- how would you suggest that students go about sharing diversity of thought on campus and that their school administration is holding true to their first amendment rights? >> senator, you are a state official. you go first. >> i do not understand why administrations would disinvited anyone. i understand that people may have got feelings about things, but the worst thing would be -- contrary to what i said -- embrace diversity, under -- understand each other. in my opinion, there is a spectrum of what you do. if you said you wanted to invite the oath keepers, i would say that it is a bad idea b

in 1996 something happened different a company called purdue pharmaceutical came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the time could you get it addicted to no. that was not true then and it is not true now and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money in the false lies spread in the false marketing spread that they are guilty of lying about these tricks they cause this step i believe that with every fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional at campaign for an opioid was broadcast and we found it. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be and they should be we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts although. these 6 cases show how wrong those fears were. in this little film the public was assured with certification. of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients. that this treatment usu
