The Power Equalizers
No opponent is too big
The Los Angeles office of the Drug Enforcement Administration announced a plan this week that is aimed at fighting the opioid epidemic and targets pharmacies in Southern California that have been identified as potential violators of the “corresponding responsibility” laws. The DEA’s multi-pronged initiative includes obtaining search warrants to search the homes, cars, and other locations of those pharmacy owners. As part of this initiative, DEA special agents and investigators conduct onsite visits to pharmacies and demand that the DEA registrant voluntarily surrender their DEA registration.
