State sets up online form to report opioid, Rx drug misuse
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – State officials are making it easier for health professionals and the wider public to report suspicions about misuse of prescription drugs, an effort designed to lessen the harm from opioid abuse.
Gov. Tom Wolf on Wednesday called the online reporting tool another step toward addressing the opioid crisis that resulted in more than 5,400 overdose deaths in the state last year.
The suspicious activity reporting tool is available on the website for the attorney general’s office and can be reached through the state Health Department.
It’s also located within the state’s prescription drug monitoring program site, which is limited to registered users.
Attorney General Josh Shapiro calls prescription drug abuse “our No. 1 public health crisis and our No. 1 public safety crisis

Oh, this couldn’t turn out badly now could it? Angry ex-spouses, ex-boyfriends/ex-girlfriends, neighbors, co-workers, employers, employees, etc. Because no one has ever made false accusations against another person they’re angry with. Again, it’s not prescription opioids that so many are overdosing on and dying from. It’s street substances.
How long are the vast number of public morons going to keep buying this bullshit?! I’ve never had much faith in the widespread intelligence of humans in general, but it’s hit an all-time low.
Go get ’em! Turn in possible offenders among the miniscule number of abusers of legal drugs that are prescribed to them by a doctor. Ignore the enormous problem of the use of street drugs that have become increasingly dangerous drug blends, especially those containing imported, non-pharmaceutical fentanyl analogs. Continue to persecute people suffering with serious pain who have legitimate need for opioids. Opioid-clueless in Harrisburg.
