West Virginia faced flood of painkillers report says
DEA records obtained by the Charleston Gazette-Mail show wholesalers shipped 780 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills to West Virginia from 2007 to 2012, contributing to 1,728 overdose deaths and topping per capita distribution nationwide. The investigation highlights McKesson Cardinal Health and Amerisource Bergen as major suppliers and notes weak reporting and enforcement by the state Board of Pharmacy.
