"They'll take all the bad facts and they'll focus on them like 'Okay, he should've known. He's not a mind reader," said Fletcher's attorney Brad Barbin. "They've shut down a business that's been here for the community."

Yes, as a pharmacist you SHOULD know when you see someone driving 200 miles to come to your pharmacy for a controled substance that something isn't right. THAT'S YOUR JOB!

wow heard of walk a mile for a camel,but drive 200 miles for some pills.makes you wonder why we have a drug problem,with doctor feelgood on duty.

[Its me again]

Wow, wish I had known. I've been driving two hundred miles to Kentucky this whole time.

[good ole white boys]

IT WAS WELL KNOWN IN CHILLCOTHE YOU COULD GET ANY THING YOU WANTED WITH OUT A SCRIP THIS IS WHERE MOST OF OXACOTEN WAS COMING FROM HANG THIS BASTERD

[Need real solutions]

Forty years ago, my doctor gave me a prescription for bi amphetamine...speed / diet pills / black beauties. I had no idea they were prized drugs.

The pharmacist took one look at my size and handed the prescription back to me. He said he did not carry the drug and did not know any pharmacy that did. I was very young and believed him.

Seems I had inadvertently gone to a drug doctor and the pharmacy was not going to go along with this. That tells me there is no excuse. The pharmacy knows.

I did not see the address of the pharmacy...Ive had been passed one on S. High St. that makes me wonder.

[Confused]

why didn't 10tv say what pharmacy it was?

[Thanks]

Well, I'm awful glad the DEA is doing the right thing. There's not a thing being done down here in portsmouth!

[Thanks]

i think it was the one on E. Main

[Way to Go]

They need to ban oxycotin period, these poor souls start on prescription med and end up on heroin.

They need to ban oxycotin period. These poor soul start out with that and end up on heroin.

[Thanks]

and i think it used to be a theater or something, may be wrong, but i believe thats right, on the north side of the street

[Wowza]

eugene was making money hand over fist from pill mills, period, ofcourse he knew what was up! most of the meds from these "doctors" are paid with cold hard cash, so you tell me he didnt know? yeah right. Portsmouth addicts and sponsors/dealers used to have to go to Florida to get so many pills, now there are several in and around Portsmouth and they have to go out of town to fill the scripts, but its still way easier(and cheaper for the sponsor) than going to Fla and back! Thats why this pharmacy had so many more pills shipped to it in the last six months! Its when the pillmills opened up here! The sponsor pays for the visit and the script then gives half the pills to the addict and sells the other half, that's all over here! This movie shows it all, starting in Fla, and then onto the impact it has on southern Ohio, northern Ky. Now, more and more are saving money by just going to Porstmouth, where many many addicts and pushers already are , and I know this because I live here and I been asked to go to Fla by 2 different sponsors! Addicts GO, easy pills and money http://www.current.com/items/91183979_the-oxy... paste it if the link won't work

[crazylady]

i think the should check the doctors out to. thats why we have so many people out her that has drug problems. it a money thing between the doctors and the pharmacys. i beleave thats what its all about.they all work together

[amb]

it is the pharmacist job to fill drug prescriptions!!!! that is what he is in business for!!! Anyone who abuses their meds NEEDS to be responsible for their own actions!! Aren't they adults!?? WHY BLAME EVERYONE but their irresponsible ignorance???!!!!

[unrepentant]

They need to bring back qualudes these new drugs suck anyway.

[wowza]

amb, come on, he fills scripts for hundreds of oxys to 20 year olds who are ate up with needle marks on them and the disease of addiction that is killing off young ppl here left and right, i think hes alil responsible, the docs too, and the pharm company is the biggest murderer! they all make money on death

We will never get rid of the prescription drug problem until we do something with the doctors who write them...............

[Think_About_It]

First of all you never hear anything about the rich people that fly to specialists all over the country and come back w/ their prescriptions. Wouldn't that be considered interstate trafficking as well? How do you know that they really do have a problem and aren't drug seekers? There are people that can't get the help they need in the state or county they are in. Why is it that he should get in trouble when in fact they don't know if they patients do have ligament problems or not. They have no right taking his license when they had real prescriptions from real doctors. There are people out there that are in constant pain that do need pain medicine. Why is it that they can't have it? What about the people that have been broke in half? That have cancer and have to go to a doctor in a different state. Maybe they had just put that doctor in and that's why they have a rise in controlled substances. I DONT THINK EUGENE HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

That's a super shady stretch of Main St. At any given time there are drug deals and prostitutes hanging out all around there. I believe it's considered Olde Town East. I saw the pharmacy there last year and thought it was an odd place to have a health center/pharmacy.
