I think the FDA is quite corrupt.
General
Oxycodone is subject to international conventions on narcotic drugs. In addition, oxycodone is subject to national laws that differ by country. The 1931 Convention for Limiting the Manufacture and Regulating the Distribution of Narcotic Drugs of the League of Nations included oxycodone.[101] The 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of the United Nations, which replaced the 1931 convention, categorized oxycodone in Schedule I.[102] Global restrictions on Schedule I drugs include "limit[ing] exclusively to medical and scientific purposes the production, manufacture, export, import, distribution of, trade in, use and possession of" these drugs; "requir[ing] medical prescriptions for the supply or dispensation of [these] drugs to individuals"; and "prevent[ing] the accumulation" of quantities of these drugs "in excess of those required for the normal conduct of business".[102]

United States
Under the Controlled Substances Act, oxycodone is a Schedule II controlled substance whether by itself or part of a multi-ingredient medication.[120] The DEA lists oxycodone both for sale and for use in manufacturing other opioids as ACSCN 9143 and in 2013 approved the following annual aggregate manufacturing quotas: 131.5 metric tons for sale, down from 153.75 in 2012, and 10.25 metric tons for conversion, unchanged from the previous year.[121] In 2020, oxycodone possession was decriminalized in the U.S. state of Oregon.[122]
DEA is also corrupt imho, basically a way to feed the for-profit private prisons.

Why would you think they're not?
The criminal violations included conspiring to defraud US officials and pay illegal kickbacks to both doctors and an electronic healthcare records vendor called Practice Fusion, all to help keep opioid prescriptions flowing.
They were actually paying kickbacks to doctors to prescribe that stuff.

I'm not absolving the end users who get addicted, as they do have responsibility in it too,
deceptive marketing akin to saying cigarettes are good for your health.

At first, OK. But later, it literally fucks with your brain, the mechanisms which motivate every action you make every day.
Eventually, you are literally a slave to it without free will.
The governments did fine him. Not all the money he made off the drugs, but at least some of it.
That's a start, right?
So are the people of p.net who think the war on drugs should end and all drugs should be legal the same bunch of people who hate Sakler family or they are two different groups? It feels like there is a non-insignificant intersection between them.
Who thinks all drugs should be legal?
The legalization of pot, has not allowed anyone in any state to grow their own pot
There is likely some kind of liability, but it would require intricate forensic examination rather than wholesale demonization based on the deaths of end users. People will always seek these drugs and routinely die from them.

You can grow up to 12 plants for your own consumption in CA, iirc.
I believe the FDA and the DEA will come down on you. You can only grow if you're a licensed grower.
