Rockefeller Pushing Drug Disposal Law

{Charleston, West Virginia}…U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller says prescription drug abuse or misuse is responsible for nine out of 10 drug-related deaths in the state, and a proposed federal rule from the Drug Enforcement Administration would reduce prescription drug abuse. Rockefeller says the rule would establish national standards for prescription drug disposal and expand available drug disposal options, including take-back events. Rockefeller asked the DEA in November to implement a 2010 law which requires the DEA to enforce a legal and safe prescription drug disposal method.
