Jack Conway: “Last year in Kentucky we had over 1,000 people that we documented died from prescription painkiller overdoses.”

About 80 percent of the crime according to law enforcement and prosecutors is fueled by the abuse and the insidious addiction to prescription painkillers.

When you take a look at the unnatural deaths in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, what you see over and over is not heroin or not cocaine, not even alcohol as much as you see Xanax, oxycodone, Methadone, and hydrocodone.

We need to stop them.

We are in a war with drugs, and just the drug has changed.
