Individuals from all over the southeastern United States flooded into Florida to visit our &#8220;pill mills.&#8221; I-75 was known as the gateway to easy drugs.

					<description><![CDATA[Opioid abuse is a growing medical problem in the nation and in Florida. In 2015, 52,404 Americans died as a result of drug abuse, or about 142 individuals every day. This makes opioid abuse a greater killer than automobile accidents or gun-inflicted homicides and suicides. About one-third of the deaths are from opioids prescribed by physicians.

					<description><![CDATA[Regulations for pain management clinics are set to expire in January, but the Florida Senate passed a bill on April 1 that would keep the requirements intact indefinitely. Sponsored by state Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, SB 450, passed unanimously and without any debate or controversy. A companion bill, HB 4017, has cleared all the committees of reference and is on the House Calendar, awaiting action.
