Distributors object to Gupta s testimony on transition from prescription to street drugs

CHARLESTON – During the third day of a federal trial against three major opioid distributors, lawyers for the City of Huntington and Cabell County sought to make the case that the ongoing drug crisis was predictable, as well as tied to the use of prescription painkillers. On May 5, attorneys called David Courtwright, a historian of opioid use and drug policy, as well as Dr. Rahul Gupta, who was West Virginia’s health officer and commissioner of the state’s Bureau for Public Health from 2015-2018, to testify in the bench trial at the Charleston federal courthouse. Gupta testified, at one point, that there was not “one iota of doubt” that prescription drug use led to illegal drug use. Defendants have said there is no proof of a direct causal link and objected to his testimony dozens of times.

Opioid crises repeat throughout history, expert says during distributor trial

CHARLESTON – A historian of opioid use and drug policy testified, in a federal trial against three major opioid distributors Wednesday, about three principal opioid epidemics that preceded the ongoing crisis. The City of Huntington and Cabell County sued the “Big Three” drug distributors – McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, and Cardinal Health – in 2017 over their role in the overdose crisis, after more than 80 million doses of the drugs were sent to the area in an eight-year period. Wednesday is the third day in the bench trial at the Charleston federal courthouse. Farrell | farrell.law Under questioning from plaintiffs lawyer Paul Farrell Jr., David Courtwright, who wrote The Age of Addiction: How Bad Habits Became Big Business, said the first epidemic, in the late 1900s, came from widespread medicinal use of opioids.
