The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has further extended flexibilities for controlled-substance prescribing via telemedicine, as overdose deaths continue to rise. The move comes in response to the ongoing opioid crisis, with fentanyl being a particularly deadly drug. The extension allows healthcare providers to prescribe controlled substances remotely, providing much-needed access to patients in need. This decision follows the signing of bill AB663 into law by Governor Newsom, enabling mobile pharmacies to carry, prescribe, and administer treatments for addiction. The DEA's decision aims to address the urgent need for accessible and evidence-based treatment options for individuals struggling with addiction to deadly drugs like fentanyl and heroin.
Yesterday alone, ~275 Americans died from fentanyl that originated from Mexico. This is ~18,000 life years lost, and future generations extinguished. In one day. This is terrorism.
With my bill AB663 being signed into law this week by Governor Newsom, mobile pharmacies will now be able to carry, prescribe and administer treatments for people who are addicted to deadly drugs like fentanyl and heroin. This is an evidence based, proven model around the world… https://t.co/32rQ0jdgzU https://t.co/n1dqucQDaX
100,000 deaths a year from fentanyl - at the hands of Mexican/Chinese terrorists - is a tragedy. But if you look at it in terms of life years lost, it’s horrific. COVID took the old and sick. These kids are being robbed of 60-70 years, plus future generations.

Jessica explained the cartel is breaking up with fentanyl. It’s killed too many people. Also. The expectation is the hondos will lose control of the open air drug markets.
