Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)............I had to look that up because one of the article said standards were being imported from Canada under flawed science.

Maybe Josh's best article yet - shows the math.

The CDC Quietly Admits It Screwed Up Counting Opioid Pills

Thanks once again, George. For once your mad interwebs research skilz are being put to good use.

This whole thing is no more than a money grubbing farce. Or, no, actually if that were all it was, it would be disgusting enough. In the background we have millions of Americans whose pain is currently being under treated. They are suffering needlessly. They are suffering because some zealots at the CDC and other government agencies smell money. Big money. Big pharma money.

The CDC itself has become no more than a home for zealots with an axe to grind. They long ago became politicized, in a field wherein there is no room for politics. They first came to my attention decades ago when they tried to classify firearms as a "health hazard" in an effort to regulate them as such. Yeah, when the Second Amendment proves too great of a hurdle to overcome in your pursuit of your gun control agenda, simply reclassify guns as a "health hazard", put them on the schedule of controlled substances, and viola - back door gun control.

So, yeah - anything with "CDC" anywhere in the mix needs to be examined with suspicion. They have long ago lost all objectivity and, along with it, any credibility whatsoever.
