Back in the seventies when America was facing a major problem with amphetamines, the DEA stepped up and instituted quotas, cutting production by 90%, and the problem went away. In the eighties, they did the same thing when Quaaludes became a problem.https://mckinley.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1269 …

Fast forward to today, and we have continuously allowed the production of dangerous opioid pills to increase…didn’t the DEA learn anything from our successes in the past? The data should have raised red flags, yet they kept increasing quotas. Enough is enough.

WV is hardest hit by opioid epidemic (52 deaths per 100,000). DEA needs to shift resources back into state to help combat this crisis. Recently, they placed a tactical diversion squad in Clarksburg, but that is only the second DEA unit in the state. More resources are needed.
