> This is the unintended consequence of making pharmacies liable for filling prescriptions to people who were addicted. Indeed. CVS, Walgreens and other pharma companies recently settled a $860 million lawsuit with Florida for their role in the opioid epidemic. Florida alleged that CVS and others failed to heed warning signs and filled an unreasonable number of dodgy prescriptions. It seems CVS is taking things more seriously now. > The company distributed 2.2 million opioid tablets from its store in Hudson, a Tampa-area town of 12,000, and in one unidentified town of 3,000, sold 285,000 pills in a month, the lawsuit says. In some stores, its opioid sales jumped six-fold in two years. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/florida-sues-walgreens-cvs-over-opioids_n_5bf1ab4ee4b07573881f714d https://www.huffpost.com/entry/florida-sues-walgreens-cvs-ov...
