Attached a link to an interesting article published in today's (05/15/2011) Sun Sentinel http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/broward/fl-pillbillies-crime-20110516,0,1515459.story reporting that “ out-of-state travelers called 'pillbillies' who are visiting South Florida to score prescription drugs are doing not only that, they're also adding to the local criminal population.” This adds additional workload to an already overburdened judicial system and the costs for jailing those criminals are mounting, too. Once the prescription drug monitoring program is up and running drug dealers and doctor shoppers will realize that Florida is not open for their business anymore. Therefore, we have to make sure that doctors are receiving the training to use the program and to fight for continuous funding for the PDMP.
Lets make it happen!
Yours
