DEA Revokes License of Major U.S. Drug Distributor Amid Opioid Crisis

The DEA has announced that it will revoke the license of Morris & Dickson, one of the largest drug distributors in the US, to sell and ship highly addictive painkillers within 90 days if a negotiated settlement isn't reached. The company is accused of shipping opioid pain pills for years despite evidence of misuse. The action comes after a four-year delay and criticism of regulatory agencies for failing to crack down on corporations involved in the opioid crisis.
