The Ohio General Assembly is rapidly passing legislative initiatives in order to stem the raging, drug epidemic. "Ohio will reinforce the drug war by limiting prescriptions of narcotic pain pills to 90 days, improving access to medication-assisted drug treatment, and tightening pharmacy licensing requirements." "But officials from several state agencies announced changes aimed at denting opiate abuse, the state's biggest health problem." "The administration is proposing mandatory licensing for facilities serving at least 30 patients with Suboxone, a medication used to wean people off painkillers and heroin, as well as making Naloxone, a drug used to reverse deadly overdoses, available to homeless shelters, halfway houses and schools." "Also proposed were required registration of 42,000 pharmacy technicians; invaliding an opiate prescription unused after 30 days; enacting oversight by the Pharmacy Board for sole private practitioners who dispense painkillers; and waiving the requirement that clinics providing Methadone, used to treat heroin addiction, be certified in Ohio for at least two years before doing business." But what is required of Ohio veterinarians, who have daily access to and ability to prescribe drugs? Ohio vets remain largely without oversight, inspections, and investigations. This black hole in veterinary hospital oversight gives great opportunity to bad actors who continue to fly under the radar, undetected.
