Attorney General Discusses “Doctor Shopping” by Corey Haim
After receiving a report from the California Department of Justice, Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr. said Corey Haim visited seven doctors and seven pharmacies to obtain 553 doses of prescription drugs.
The report states that from Feb 2, 2010 to March 5, 2010, Haim obtained 195 Valium pills, 194 Soma pills, 149 Vicodin pills and 15 Xanax. Brown, who has been at the forefront of cracking down on prescription-drug abuse continues to go after physicians and drug dealers who profit from overprescribing narcotics.
Haim’s name was attached to a prescription-drug ring out of Southern California. The ring allegedly orders prescription-drug scripts from vendors using identities stolen from doctors. The scripts are then sold on the street to addicts.
