OT: I wonder if all those who made such a fuss about cocaine being found at the White House...

...(in an area used by the public for storage)...

...will show as much concern for all the prescription drugs being handed
out during the Trump administration:

'WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The White House Medical Unit during the
Trump administration provided prescription drugs, including controlled
substances, to ineligible staff and spent tens of thousands of dollars
more on brand-name drugs than what generic equivalents would have cost,
a Pentagon report shows.'

'...drugs were disbursed without verifying patient identities. Opioids
and sleeping medications were not properly accounted for and were
tracked using error-filled or unreadable handwritten records, the report
said.'

What's been profoundly disturbing about this lack of controls is that comments from
various medical professionals have been noting that all but one or two of these controlled
substances are (when used legally) never used outside of literal surgery.
