Pharmacies show no profit so chains closing them

For Immediate Release:

Dateline: Junction City, OR

Veneta’s only pharmacy closed on January 5th, leaving the township of over 5,000 without a convenient way to fill their prescriptions.

91-year-old Derek Humphry has nine prescriptions he needs to fill regularly, including heart medication. He’s been a resident of Veneta for 32 years.

Last year, when Bi-Mart’s pharmacy was acquired by Walgreens, 56 counters closed in three states, including the only pharmacy in Veneta.

Humphry tried several others in the area and was turned away without explanation. He was within two days of running out of his blood-thinning medication when his doctor directed him to a Walmart in Eugene, significantly further away.

“A person like me doesn’t drive,” Humphry said. “I have to get other people to take me to the pharmacy. So it’s quite inconvenient.”

Bi-Mart spokesperson Don Leber attributes their exit from the pharmacy business to Oregon taxes on pharmaceuticals and increased fees implemented by insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers and so they are unprofitable.

Adblock test (Why?)

Consumers are being deceived when purchasing CBD products, while not knowing about potential intoxication and other safety concerns. In previous articles, we’ve touched on hemp-derived delta-9 THC and how hemp-based companies are selling it to consumers by exploiting the ambiguity of the 2018 Farm Bill. Kazmira denounces this manipulation unequivocally and believes consumer safety is at risk with these companies selling intoxicating compounds under the guise of the hemp name. Lab Study Reveals Potency & Testing Concerns According to a lab study commissioned by CBD Oracle , 53  of the most popular hemp-derived delta-9 THC products were purchased and tested for both potency and impurities. The lab analysis revealed that although most o
