People in power alternatively slamming stimulants and sedatives is pretty much how I imagined it already worked. I can only assume it turned into such a clusterfuck that it got investigated under trump, but I will absolutely bet the shady shit was going on way longer.

This article is one of the better ones out there but it only scratches the surface of the WTF. I highly recommend at least scanning the report.

We concluded that, except for the White House Medical Unit, the National Capital Region executive medicine clinics that we visited did not procure, store, or dispense controlled substances or other prescription medications; rather, they relied on full‑service military treatment facility pharmacies for all pharmaceutical support. The National Capital Region executive medicine clinics relied on full‑service base or post pharmacies for all pharmaceutical support. Additionally, other than the White House Medical Unit, the Joint Commission, an independent health care accreditation agency, accredited all National Capital Region pharmacy operations, as required by DoD Manual 6025.13.

I can’t make out everything, but that is a lot of pills. I at least see fentanyl, morphine, and codine.

Now to play a bit of a devil’s advocate, the period investigated was 2017-2019. This was started due to internal reports by staff who obviously were uncomfortable with what was occurring.

I think it is likely much of what is against DoD regulation has likely been happening across many administrations. Most of the staff may not even know they were in violation.

I can’t imagine that the level of controlled substances was anywhere near this level or that they were handing out Ambien and provigil like it was candy.
