What ever it takes to solve the problem! Monitoring the amount of opioids pharmacies receive could be a start! Doctors have a huge responsibility, hopefully some of them, especially in the afflicted areas will accept that responsibility! SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint

That may solve a small percentage of the problem but the big problem is Congress has been corrupted by former DEA agent attorneys who worked or are working for the pharmaceutical companies making it very difficult to prosecute legitimate crooked Dr giving away prescriptions like if it were bags of Doritos.

The problem is that the pharmaceutical companies that already changed the law and has already tied one hand of The Drug Enforcement Administration. Former Drug Enforcement Administration lawyers have now worked with the Pharmaceuticals to stop the Drug Enforcement Administration from investigating doctors who give out High prescription dosages of opioids. Stopping the little guy won't make a difference if a crooked doctor can give out 200000 pills and a small town and West Virginia and a DEA can't do a damn thing about it. Congress has been corrupted by the change in legislation. It needs to be changed back. This gets me mad because over 60,000 people die a year from opioid overdose and the pharmaceutical companies are making big bucks and the doctors are not being prosecuted. We can go out to the little guy on the street, but the big Pusher is the pharmaceutical industry.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-dea-agent-opioid-crisis-fueled-by-drug-industry-and-congress/
