Originally I would assume that it would just be an inside job: someone at the pharmaceutical company leaked the drug out for personal profit. However the fact that the drug turned up in a seemingly random location leads me to believe there's more to this also. I wouldn't see it as population control as much as its creating an addicted, over medicated and therefore easy to control population.

Oxycontin could very well be a conspiracy against caucasians in the lower econonmic level areas (which are the largest users from what I recall). If you've followed information about the drug's abuse its very similar to the proliferation of crack among the african-american urban communities in the 80's and 90's.
