In 20 years, drug manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies and practitioners acted as street drug couriers and shipped"hundreds of millions" of suspicious opioid doses into two Ohio counties, according to a motion filed in the US District Court in the Northern District of Ohio.
The motion filed Friday by attorneys for Summit and Cuyahoga counties paint a picture of drug companies driven by greed in part for its failure to report suspicious shipments of prescription pain killers that helped fuel the opioid epidemic. Companies certified to manufacture and distribute the drugs are required by the Controlled Substances Act to monitor for"suspicious" orders, defined by the Drug Enforcement Agency as those of unusual size, frequency or pattern.

further proof that Ohio is actual literal trash
Jail or it doesn't matter. Fines against corps for wrongdoing without those responsible being locked up is abhorrent.
Lock them up!! The CEO on down!
Wow! Looks bad for someone & somewhere! Only legit needs folks should be able to get opiods, & if they abuse them then they’re out & can suffer. If we had medical marijuana nationally it could pay the deficit down. However, BigPharma would be screwed & we know they own the GOP!
Yeah... whatever.
Are u sure it wasn't shipped to Florida?
Ohhh yea Lolol
