I find it quite remarkable that Walgreens Florida store throughput on controlled substances accelerated so much faster than overall marketplace demand. How could such explosive growth of narcotic medications go unflagged, undetected or unquestioned at the Jupiter, FL Distribution Center? How could certain stores with mega-increases in sales of such medications not note and question the appropriateness of so many transactions involving controlled substances?

For fairness, I note that CVS has an apparent problem in this arena along with Walgreens, as does Cardinal Healthcare as robb earlier reported. However, it is Walgreens with an apparent inclination towards drug wholesaling, that strikes me as having the most forthcoming explanation to shareholders, let alone authorities who track such anomalies.

This is a serious question that deserves some serious management commentary in a public forum, not just to be swept under the PR rug of of food deserts and sushi prep of California Rolls at the corner of "Happy & Healthy".
