By admin - Posted on September 22nd, 2009
Officials in California are now in the process of making it harder for drug addicts to get their hands on prescription medication and they’re citing Michael Jackson and Anna Nicole Smith’s deaths as reasons why. Attorney General Jerry Brown recently announced that an online database has been created so doctors can keep watch on patients’ drug records. The creation of the database was explained by saying “The recent deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson have made clear to the whole world just how dangerous prescription drug abuse can be.” The database, called the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES), will be available to doctors, pharmacists and law enforcement officials.
