Hey, guys, I don't know if it is the right place to post, but I wanted to ask you about this site https://www.marijuanabreak.com/inflammation-is-the-root-of-dozens-of-diseases-heres-how-cbd-can-help. My friends are obsessed with it, they buy it every time, though it rather expensive. I want to try it but I'm not sure if it good or not?

Check out the on-line sites for 'shake' that is $30/oz. I would give you a link but that might mean they are out when I go back to order some more. A shake box can be used to get just the pollen if you want to be glued to the couch kind of high rather than mowing the lawn without losing any parts.

Drug company used rap video to push for higher fentanyl doses, sales

BOSTON — Employees at a drug company accused of bribing doctors rapped and danced around a person dressed as a bottle of the highly addictive fentanyl spray in a video meant to motivate sales reps to push the drug.
The video was shown to jurors this week in the closely watched trial in Boston of wealthy Insys Therapeutics Inc. Founder John Kapoor and four other onetime executives, including a former exotic dancer who prosecutors say was hired as a regional sales manager even though she had no pharmaceutical experience.
They’re charged with scheming to pay doctors bribes and kickbacks in exchange for prescriptions of the opioid meant for cancer patients with severe pain. Kapoor and the other former executives of the Chandler, Arizona-based company have denied all wrongdoing.
The video, titled “Great by Choice,” was shown during a national sales meeting in 2015 to encourage employees to talk doctors into prescribing higher doses, prosecutors said.
In it, suit-clad sales reps rap to the tune of a song by the artist A$AP Rocky about titration, the process of increasing the strength of a patient’s prescription until it reaches the adequate level.

“I love titration, yeah, that’s not a problem. I got new patients and I got a lot of ’em,” they say. “Build relationships that are healthy. Got more docs than Janelle’s got selfies.”
At one point, the person dressed up as the bottle of fentanyl spray takes off his costume to reveal then-vice-president of sales, Alec Burlakoff. Burlakoff pleaded guilty in November to racketeering conspiracy and is expected to testify against Kapoor.
“What we built here can’t be debated. Shout to Kapoor for what he created,” the sales reps rap. “The competition just making noise. We’re making history because we’re great by choice.”
The video is the latest eyebrow-raising piece of evidence in the trial, which has put a spotlight on the federal government’s efforts to go after those it says are responsible for fueling the deadly opioid crisis. The trial, which began last month, is expected to last several more weeks.
Last month, a former employee told jurors that she watched her boss — regional sales manager Sunrise Lee — give a lap dance at a Chicago nightclub to a doctor Insys was pushing to write more prescriptions. Lee’s lawyer said the doctor was taking advantage of her.
Beth Wilkinson, an attorney for Kapoor, told jurors that any criminal activity by Insys was orchestrated by Burlakoff. She has sought to portray Burlakoff and the government’s other key witness, former CEO Michael Babich, as liars who are willing to say anything to take down Kapoor in the hopes of getting a lesser sentence.
Babich, who pleaded guilty in January, took the stand this week and said Kapoor pushed to get patients on higher doses so they would continue taking the drug, which meant more money for the company.
Babich told jurors that Insys looked for sales reps who were “poor, hungry and driven” or what they called “PHDs.” Insys also recruited employees who were “easy on the eyes,” Babich told jurors.
“No physician wanted a quote unquote unattractive person to walk in their door,” he said.

BOSTON — A former exotic dancer was hired as a regional sales manager at a drug company despite her lack of pharmaceutical experience because executives believed she could help carry out the company’s plan to bribe doctors into prescribing its powerful painkiller, a former executive told jurors on Friday.
Alec Burlakoff, onetime vice-president of sales at Insys Therapeutics Inc., said he met Sunrise Lee at the strip club where she worked and recruited her because he thought she would have the “ability and the willingness and the desire to talk to physicians and speak with them about the quid pro quo.”
After hiring Lee, Burlakoff said executives received an anonymous email about topless photos of Lee that were posted online. Burlakoff said Lee kept her job after agreeing to take the photos down.
Lee’s lawyer, Peter Horstmann, repeatedly objected to the introduction of the salacious testimony. Horstmann said after jurors left for the day that he plans to move for a mistrial.
The judge has prohibited attorneys on both sides of the case from talking to the media.

Burlakoff is one of the government’s key witnesses in the trial against Insys founder John Kapoor , Lee and three other former executives of the Chandler, Arizona-based company. They are accused of scheming to pay doctors bribes in the form of fees for sham speaking events in exchange for prescriptions of Subsys, a fentanyl spray meant for cancer patients with severe pain.
They have all denied wrongdoing.
Burlakoff pleaded guilty in November to racketeering conspiracy and is testifying against his former colleagues for a chance at a lighter sentence. Kapoor’s attorney has tried to paint him as a liar who was cutting side deals with doctors on his own and will say anything to take down Kapoor.
The fight over Friday’s testimony is the latest strange moment in the case that’s expected to last several more weeks. The case has put a spotlight on the federal government’s efforts to go after those it says are responsible for fueling the deadly opioid crisis.
A former employee told jurors in January that she watched Lee give a lap dance at a Chicago nightclub to a doctor that the company was pushing to prescribe the drug.
Last month, jurors watched a rap video made to encourage employees to talk doctors into prescribing higher doses of the drug. In the video, sales representatives danced around a giant bottle of the highly addictive fentanyl spray and rapped about titration, the process of increasing the strength of a patient’s prescription until it reaches the adequate level.
At the end of the video, it’s revealed that Burlakoff was wearing the fentanyl spray costume.
Burlakoff told jurors Friday that Insys employees were clear with physicians about their expectations for prescriptions in exchange for speaker fees. A doctor who didn’t have any ethical problems with it and agreed to the deal was called a “whale,” he said.
“I knew that every dollar I spent was going to be tracked and that the expectations on return on investment, on dollars back to the company, were very high,” Burlakoff said.

What is it about the corporate philosophy of "WE WANT TO SELL LOTS OF OUR DRUGS" that you dont understand?????????????



This IS A BIG PART of the reason why we have govt run health care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Govt, doctors and hospital staff are expected to FOCUS on best care and outcomes for patients!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Corporate greed is supposed to be banned from the Cdn system and it mostly IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Doctors are the guardians of our system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


They are expected to prescribe AS NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The ONLY WIGGLE ROOM is in which particular drug they prescribe................and dosages are set out by govt labs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And to a fair degree- doctors in Canada are RESTRICTED in which drugs they can prescribe due to govt being the whole sale supplier here- as govt buys bulk shipments of specific drugs and then re-sells to pharmacies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Cdn system is- in most things much CLEANER than the Yankee version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Though Ontari-owe news media has been reporting on how crooked pharmacy owners have been double billing govt for drugs they did not actually BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But this CRIME is the result of govt NOT PROPERLY POLICING either its own accountants or pharmacy accountants to catch FRAUDULENT BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This issue of pharmacies double billing is simply ANOTHER SIGN of how little effort LIE-berals are making to deal with ANY SORT OF CRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It took the election of Doug Ford to catch this double billing of pharmacists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals had IGNORED the THEFT OF TAXPAYERS MONEY FOR A DECADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just as Ontari-owe LIE-berals under David Peterson had IGNORED similar style double billing THEFT from medical clinics dispensing Methadone to addicts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are content to IGNORE ALL CRIME because making honest effort to regulate anything would cut into their supply of GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
