Los Angeles, CA - Today, Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. will appear on the Dr. Phil show to discuss prescription drug abuse in America. Prescription drug abuse is a serious and growing problem. Brown's office has investigated and filed charges in more than 200 cases against both physicians who have abused their trust and patients who go from doctor to doctor in search of drugs.
According to a press release, the AG's office ".. launched an investigation into a massive San Diego-based prescription drug ring that supplied drugs to former actor Corey Haim. The investigation found that the ring operates by ordering prescription drug pads from authorized vendors using stolen doctor identities. The pads are then either sold on the street to prescription drug addicts or to individuals who are paid to fill the prescription and then sell the drugs on the underground market. The investigation has thus far linked more than 4,500 to 5,000 fraudulent prescriptions to the drug ring and has led to one arrest."
On a related story, Attorney General Edmund G. Brown has refused to join other Attorneys general challenging the constitutionality of the recently enacted Healh Care legislation calling the action divisive. No word on how a Govern Brown would implement the new health care legislation in an quasi-bankrupt state
