That is not an example of a company that has sold cocaine. 

Also we discussed them in another part of a thread briefly.

 @b05df304 You know that smack refers to heroin, not cocaine, right, and that oxycontin is essentially time released heroin? That is what I was replying to. They sold smack.

Thanks, actually i was mistaken, I was thinking of smack as cocain (though now that you mention it I did know it was in reference to heroin).  and that oxycontin is essentially time released heroin?

No Oxycontin is the time-released formulation of Oxycodon not Heroin.  While they are opioids they are chemically different chemicals. In fact as far as opioids go there are more structurally similar examples.  That is what I was replying to. They sold smack.

Ahh ok, this makes sense now. Thanks for clarifying.
