"Are you trying to say this quote is painting him as not innocent?"

Correct. Instead of targeting just people that medically need it, this quote paints him as specifically advertising to and targeting the addicted patients of less-than-reputable doctors who would over-proscribe this, get the patient addicted, and thus have them in the loop of buying more painkillers.
