Abstract
Regina LaBelle, then acting director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), spoke at a Georgetown University conference in September on model opioid litigation. She referred to how the opioid overdose epidemic began — with prescription overdoses. One small town in West Virginia, Kermit, was flooded with opioids. It turns out they were coming from a pill mill in Florida, where a doctor would come in for an hour a day dispensing pain pills, and the buyers would fly back to West Virginia with them. “These doctors were not treating pain; they were operating a criminal enterprise,” said LaBelle.
