Florida's opioid lawsuit against CVS and Walgreens takes aim at distributors with deep pockets

The Florida lawsuit accuses the drug stores and pharmaceutical distributors like Cardinal Health, Amerisource Bergen and McKesson of playing as big a role in the proliferation of opioid addiction as drug manufacturers like OxyContin maker Purdue Pharmaceuticals and Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceuticals unit which produces fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times stronger than heroin.
