Tracking Physicians Opioid Prescription Rate
The AP (1/1, Gurman) runs a feature on the Opioid Fraud and Abuse Detection Unit, which is using data provided by the Justice Department to track which physicians are prescribing the most, how far patients will travel to see them and whether any have died within 60 days of receiving one of their prescriptions, among other information. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said the DOJ will consider going after any law-breaker, even a pharmaceutical company, as it seeks to bring more cases and reduce the number of unwarranted prescriptions.

Cannabis: House Bill 523
In 2016, the Ohio legislature passed House Bill 523, legalizing medical cannabis. As of this writing, 29 states and the District of Columbia now have legalized cannabis— in one form or another. Here in Ohio, lingering questions remain, and it’s up to a handful of state government agencies to sort it all out. The new law allows doctors to recommend cannabis to treat certain qualifying conditions, and mandates that the program be fully operational by September of 2018.
In June 2016, Governor John Kasich signed House Bill 523 into law. While medical marijuana products have been legalized, recreational smoking and growing marijuana (except for licensed cultivators, authorized by the Ohio Department of Commerce) will, for now, remain illegal activities.
