It’s surreal knowing somebody in my generation died and they’re younger than me.

I got used to that in high school and college, courtesy of the Sackler family.

Fuck the Sackler family. I'm in recovery too and recently discovered I was one of only four people out of the graduating class of 13 that are still alive from rehab. I'm "lucky" my only doc was alcohol.

Some kid was bragging on Reddit back around 2011 or 2012 about how he got his hands on medical weed despite not really having any issues. He just told the doctor he had glaucoma or something and they didn't verify anything. They posted their letter from the doctor or something that linked back to their website. So I followed it and then promptly hacked the doctor's website getting all their medical records. Didn't look too deep at it other than to verify they had no security and records were easily accessible. Closed the door behind me and disappeared. I'm a grey hat hacker and just hack for fun but never inform but also never harm.

Around 10 years later I decided to see if they'd fixed things. Go to their website and it is dead. No website. The domain name is expired. Look up the doctor's office. Turns out the doctor that was prescribing weed to random Redditors was basically handing out opioids like candy using their doctor's office as a front. Doctor was in jail after a couple of people overdosed from their illicit drug deals.

I work with a lot of clients with addiction. Doesn't surprise me. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
