IN Florida there have been many arrests in Pain CLinics.     Maybe the most famous individual in FL  is Rush Limbaugh who  surrendered to authorities  on a charge of committing fraud to obtain prescription pain meds.

In NY opiates can only be prescribed for 30 days, with no renewals on the original prescription. If you want a renewal you have to have a really good reason. This cuts down on street corner drug sales. My wife was on oxycontin after surgery for a broken bone. She was able to obtain only one renewal.
