American darknet vendor and Costa Rican pharmacist charged
Justice is such a poor way to describe what is happening here. I have full empathy with those who have struggled with opioid addiction or lost loved ones to the disease. But the fact is that opioid prescriptions are still being written with too little oversight, too few safeguards, and not enough support for patients. Withstanding such contradiction in treatment of opioid suppliers, the federal government cannot keep treating opioid abuse on the supply side. We need solutions that focus on patient health and wellness. An opioid on its own does not result in overdoses or abuse, and even moderate use can be balanced with a healthy lifestyle. The DOJ does not have the tools, skills, or experience necessary to address the public health crisis that is opioid abuse.
