Prescription drug task force expanding statewide

Attorney General Jack Conway

A $50,000 grant from the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators will allow Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway to expand statewide a task force that targets prescription drug trafficking, according to spokesperson Allison Martin.

A task force made up of investigators from the Attorney General’s Office and police agencies from Menifee County and Morehead now primarily operates in Eastern Kentucky.

The new grant will pay for training and equipment so that additional police agencies in other parts of the state can participate.

Martin says the prescription drug abuse task force will be the first to operate statewide. Details will be announced in Lexington Thursday.

  1. Good to know, but then why does the state push so much of it on so many people? The state needs to not do that, you know? If a person isn’t hooked, don’t get them hooked, isn’t that the wrong thing to do? No matter who is doing it? I really think so! Can’t go to a mental health meeting, or read a common magazine without it being pushed on you! That shouldn’t ever be allowed either, but then I wonder why that isn’t illegal?

  2. I already made my statement, why didn’t it get posted? I asked why the state and regular common magazines and radio stations and other media can push mind altering drugs so freely and legally if that is supposedly against the law? I think it is an oxymoron that no one has really cared to look at?

  3. Sorry about that, it did get posted didn’t it? I just hate it that the drug companies and so called doctors and other professionals are so freely and legally able to get people addicted to mind altering drugs and then people want to punish people for what those drugs cause. The drug courts are a joke as I have heard, go to court/jail for illegal drug activity and get put on more drugs by state counselors that have been taught that mind altering drugs are the best treatments, and you better not try to refuse to take them either I’ve heard, I am not really sure about that though, but why? Why do that?

  4. Since Conway has been letting those not qualified to receive KASPER reports to actually access KASPER reports anyway (claiming to be law enforcement in the OAG); This proposed board is just more of the same nonsense. Notice to all the legislators out there- Jack has been a naughty boy and all your schedule narcotics prescriptions are open to the OAG.
