THREAD: Several recent stories have led scholars, wonks, attorneys, and writers to point out what a massive failure the DEA is. The latest is by @maiasz arguing that the DEA should get out of doctors offices and the medical field entirely. vice.com/en_us/article/…
Last month, the lab's @ZachWritesStuff wrote that the opioid crisis is a problem whose roots run far deeper than corporate malfeasance, and that the DEA failed their mandate to regulate pharmaceutical companies. newrepublic.com/article/154560…
Finally, @LeoBeletsky & @JeremiahGoulka lay out how the DEA has made the opioid crisis even worse and more unmanageable. nytimes.com/2018/09/17/opi…
Undergirding all of this is excellent reporting by the @washingtonpost showing how drug companies prevailed over a toothless DEA. washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
