How can a brain function with these addictive poisons flowing through their neurons?

Drug companies sued in overpricing case

Adding to a slew of similar law suits in other states, South Carolina's State Attorney General Henry McMaster filed suit against five drug companies: Abbott Laboratories Inc., Baxter International Inc., Dey LP, Boehringer Ingelheim Roxane Inc. and Schering-Plough Corp.
