Ronny Jackson thought it was the cafeteria
Operated more like a candy store than a dispensary.

>The operations of this pseudo-pharmacy went as well as one might expect, according to the DoD OIG’s alarming investigation report. The investigation was prompted by complaints in May 2018 alleging that an unnamed “senior military medical officer” was engaged in “improper medical practices.” This resulted in the OIG’s investigation, which included 70 interviews of military office officials who worked in the White House between 2009 and 2018 and covers the office’s activity until early 2020. However, the investigation heavily focused on prescription drug records and care between 2017 and 2019 during the Trump administration.
“However, it was not staffed by a licensed pharmacist or pharmacy support staff, nor was it credentialed by any outside agency”
Wait, what.
I just imagine Ronny Jackson, asking people “Who here needs some ‘Go Pils?” (passes a red nerf football with an adrifinil Rx affixed) …”And who needs some no-go pills?” passes another
purple football, with a different rx affixed.

“This diplomatic mission to revitalize the Quad is gonna be off the chain! Who wants to sit on my face!?!?! (vomits into own lap)”
What the actual fuck. I knew it had been abused but god damn.
`In one interview, a White House pharmacy staff member said an unnamed doctor asked “if I could hook up this person with some Provigil as a parting gift for leaving the White House.”
Provigil is a drug that treats excessive tiredness and is typically used for patients with narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorders. Brand-name Provigil is 55 times more expensive than the generic equivalent. Between 2017 and 2019, the White House pharmacy spent an estimated $98,000 for Provigil. In that same time frame, it also spent an estimated $46,500 for Ambien, a prescription sedative, which is 174 times more expensive than the generic equivalent. Even further, the White House Medical Unit spent an additional $100,000 above generic drug cost by having Walter Reed National Military Medical Center fill brand-name prescriptions.
White House baggies
Another White House pharmacy staff member gave clues as to what the staff was doing with those brand name prescriptions. The staffer told OIG investigators that ahead of overseas trips, the staff would prepare packets of controlled medications to be handed out to White House staff. “And those would typically be Ambien or Provigil and typically both, right. So we would normally make these packets of Ambien and Provigil, and a lot of times they’d be in like five tablets in a zip‑lock bag. And so traditionally, too, we would hand these out. . . . But a lot of times the senior staff would come by or their staff representatives . . . would come by the residence clinic to pick it up. And it was very much a, ‘hey, I’m here to pick this up for Ms. X.’ And the expectation was we just go ahead and pass it out.”`
It explains a lot
A political entity that eschews accountability and oversight acts as one would expect, even when it comes to drugs. I’m shocked. So much “law and order.”
Imagine being Trump’s chemist. It would be one step up from Michael Jackson.
Oh wow… I’m so surprised… oh wow……………
Prepacked provigil and ambien party favors without medical examination being given to multiple people is clearly a crime.
Good times we’re had by all.
You really had your first crackhead President with Trump, didn’t you? Damn.
What the fuck.
Report doesn’t cite Ronnie Jackson by name but the timelines of when people who were questioned and his spiral from during the Obama years onto through Trump sure match up. Guy loves his ambien as well
“*it stored, inventoried, prescribed, dispensed, and disposed of prescription medications, including opioids and sleep medications. However, it was not staffed by a licensed pharmacist or pharmacy support staff, nor was it credentialed by any outside agency.*”
Oh, sure, the White House can do this, but when I do it the DEA kicks down my door in the middle of the night.
Socialized medicine for me not thee
>The investigation was prompted by complaints in May 2018 alleging that an unnamed “senior military medical officer” was engaged in “improper medical practices.”
That would be White House Doctor, Dr. Ronny Jackson, who was handing out Ambien and Viagra like candy.
Something was shady under Trump? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.
the actual Stat article:
“The investigation was prompted by complaints in May 2018 alleging that an unnamed “senior military medical officer” was engaged in “improper medical practices.” This resulted in the OIG’s investigation, which included 70 interviews of military office officials who worked in the White House between 2009 and 2018 and covers the office’s activity until early 2020. However, the investigation heavily focused on prescription drug records and care between 2017 and 2019 during the Trump administration.”
The Fox News version:
“The probe was prompted by internal complaints the DOD received in 2018 about a senior military medical officer, who is not named, engaging in “improper medical practices.” It covers only activity in the office through early 2020 under the Trump administration, but investigators interviewed staffers who also worked there under former President Obama, according to Stat.”

I have so many questions
Draining the swamp right there
