The DEA the loose cannon in the war on drugs

Here is the outcome from that crap in Sanford FL with Cardinal wholesaler and the volume of certain C-II’s that was sold to two CVS stores. Note that no one at Cardnal ever saw a prescription, saw a patient nor provided any of these medications directly to a patient. That was all done by the RPh’s at CVS… sending in a CSOS order or filling out a DEA form 222 and sending it to Cardinal…and Cardinal gets a TWO YEAR suspension from distributing controls from this distribution center… Where is the punishment for CVS and the RPHs who actually dispensed all of these C-II’s? Where is the FL BOP in all of this… hiding in their offices ?

Just last week… Omnicare settled with the DEA on charges of dispensing controls without properpaperwork….http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2012/05/omnicare_inc_pays_50_million_f.html

They got a 50 million dollar fine… where is the suspension of dispensing controls for a TWO YEAR period?

Is the DEA playing favorites?

IMO… the bureaucrats have decided that the cartels and the people who carry guns and shoot whoever gets in their way of diverting drugs.. are too dangerous to deal with… and have decided to go after “shoot fish in a barrel”… they are going after entities that have paper trails… doctors.. pharmacies… wholesalers… and don’t necessarily carry guns not shoot at bureaucrats…

Makes good press.. in regards to the war on drugs… but it is harming … all the people who have a legit need for these medications…

Our government is suppose to protect us… is letting the drug cartels to have virtually free roam… protecting us?

Here is article from AP and a quote from CVS…

“CVS Caremark, based in Woonsocket, R.I., said it has cut back “dramatically” on the amount of oxycodone prescribed by the two pharmacies cited by the DEA.”

And what is CVS going to say… BUSINESS AS USUAL ?
