Here’s what Red Lawhern, an opioid researcher wrote about the dea. THis is under comments on a previous post:

“I think it’s time to clean house in that benighted organization by firing their Administrator plus Department heads and key staff within their Operations division, Inspection division, and Intelligence division, on grounds of gross managerial incompetence and policy misdirection. In the the most recent proposed drug quota announcement, DEA admitted that they are unable to trace more than 1% of current retail volume of prescription opioids to diversion. They are also cutting back vitally needed surgical anesthetics and post-surgical pain relievers that are already in shortage across US hospitals in the 50 States.
I can only suggest that this ineptitude reflects a willful refusal to properly integrate existing DEA in-house databases which supposedly track drug deliveries all the way from manufacturers to importers to US distributors to pharmacies. There may be grounds for investigating DEA personnel under criteria of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. While the process can be complex, it’s not rocket science and DEA has had literally decades to get its act together.”
I have a simple, inexpensive solution to the STREET Drug problem.
Junkies get one (1) arrest. They are offered a program to get cleaned up.
If they get busted again, SHOOT THEM DEAD !!!
Bullets are fairly inexpensive compared to jail support, meals, medical care, etc.
They are making Life difficult and painful for Legitimate use of needed Meds.
