SCOTUS Petition Challenges DEA “Red Flags”

On the heels of the recent decision in Ruan v. United States, a Florida pharmacy is at the steps of the Supreme Court arguing that the DEA has unconstitutionally encroached on the practice of pharmacies dispensing opioid prescriptions. Should the Supreme Court take up this challenge it would be in a position to extend the Ruan decision to the practice of pharmacy and restrict the DEA’s powers to discipline pharmacists.
