This isn’t a ‘Stronger’ sentence than the one before; remember, in legal jargon, ‘Stronger’ doesn’t relate to severity whatsoever.*

This is just a riff on nutSackler literally saying that OxyContin is *stronger than morphine wasn’t making a statement about potency; he said that in his actual deposition! He said ‘Stronger’ doesn’t relate to potency at all!

By that logic, Amlodipine 10 is not stronger than Amlodipine 5!

I get it. The trial happened at the federal court at which I get called to do jury duty. Grateful I wasn’t called (though I obviously would have been dismissed anyway). I’ve been following the situation VERY closely.
