Justice Department Says DEA Was Slow To Respond To Opioid Epidemic

The video discusses the opioid crisis in the US, highlighting a DOJ report that shows a 71% annual increase in opioid overdose deaths from 2013 to 2017. It criticizes the DEA for not using available resources to combat opioid diversion and for increasing oxycodone production quotas by 400% from 2002 to 2013. The DEA has since removed 900 drug licenses annually and increased legal actions against misconduct. The CDC reports an average of 130 opioid overdose deaths daily.
