DEA Diversion Control Division News (March 6, 2024)​

DEA Diversion Control Division News (March 6, 2024)​ E-Commerce Companies Receive Letter on the Sale of Pill Presses​ On Feb. 26, 2024, DEA issued a letter to e-commerce companies regarding the sale of pill presses. As regulated by the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), e-commerce platforms are generally required to comply with recordkeeping, identification, and reporting requirements on the distribution, importation, and exportation of pill press machines. Drug cartels and other drug traffickers are using pill presses to shape fentanyl powder into pills, and using stamps to imprint markings and logos onto those pills as they are pressed. They then sell those pills, made to look like legitimate prescription medication – such as oxycodone, Xanax, and Adderall – on social media and in our communities, often to people who do not know that the pills are not real or that they contain deadly drugs. Read more on what DEA is doing and the requirements on pill press machines.​ Spring National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Announced​ DEA has announced its next National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

Well, the horses have long-ago left the stable, time to belatedly regulate. Feels good.

Our ‘’news’’ shows shiploads of pharmaceutical quality ‘’pills’’ coming in regularly.

Yes, a ‘’feel-good’’, but only for our hypocritical tyrants.

Same folks that flooded the cities with crack cocaine. Same folks that flooded rural areas with meth.
