MISCELLANEOUS

This item is a candy dispenser turned into an opioid dispenser.

​

My purpose here is to visually highlight the current opioid crisis in the United States. And in particular the beginning of this crisis. Because in 1995 the Purdue Pharma group corrupted renowned scientists to make people believe that their product was not very dangerous: Oxycontin. With aggressive communication campaigns (brochures, videos, medical visitors offering expensive gifts to doctors, giving training to doctors and encouraging them to prescribe their super-powerful opioids against all types of diseases) on a large scale.
