The other side: Abusing prescriptions (Ohio)
Story in the Morning Journal - "While most people live in a world where the local pharmacists prescribe the drugs needed to make them well, others dwell in an underworld where those same drugs are bought, sold and stolen. ... Law enforcement departments from across the country are finding themselves on the frontlines of these 'script' skirmishes in the larger war on drugs. Because of these drugs' medicinal origin, these battles are often fought under the radar, while illegal drug battles and raids receive most of the press. Nevertheless, officials try to take as many chunks out of the line of distribution as possible while on the job."
