it's like buddy carter yesterday. you got to deal with how prescriptions are written, with the pharmaceutical industry as to what pain medications are out there. there ought to be nonopioid solutions here, clearly. and sometimes an ibuprofen isn't enough but you don't have to have vik continue -- vicko continue. i'm over simply filing. it's stigmatism reduction, it's pharmaceutical, it's the way prescriptions are written, and awareness. all those things. this is a epidemic that is taking this country. so we have got to get on top of this. and what i have learned is not only are all these things going to have to be tackled at once, get the resources up to the communities so that we can test different models of prevention and treatment to find which ones work the best and replicate those models. reporter: will you be getting -- i think the big question is people have been saying it's a multipronged approach for years. and the numbers are still skyrocketing on a regular basis. is there a disconnect? things aren't -- mr.

buddy. mr. carter: one thing that's for sure about the opioid epidemic and that is there is enough blame to go around. certainly the pharmaceutical manufacturers have the responsibility and they know that. drug distributors, wholesalers ha a responsibility, pharmacists, physicians, everyone shares in that responsibility. d.e.a. why did it take us so long to schedule hydrocodone and apap as a schedule 2 drug? that's a question that needs to be asked. it wasn't scheduled until a schedule 2 drug until 2014. there's a lot of blame to go around. the package of bills out there, you know, there's no one solution to this. that's one thing you have to keep in mind. speaking specifically to the pharmaceutical manufacturers, i have been on them because there's a gap between what you can prescribe like advil and tylenol, there is a big gap and then go to opioids. they do what they're supposed to do but they're highly addictive. the pharmaceutical manufacturers, i have been calling on them to fill that gap. give us

buddy carter from georgia. currently the only pharmacist in congress. i have a unique perspective on this particular situation, having practiced pharmacy for over 30 years. i saw this epidemic evolve. i saw it evolve over years. i've seen the impact it has had. i've seen lives ruined. i've seen careers ruined, families ruined. i know the impact that this can have. i want to applaud chairman walden and the committee for the work that they've done on this particular subject because it is important. i've always described it as being two different components. one is, how do we control the drugs? how do we control the number of pills, prescriptions? secondly and perhaps more importantly, what do we do to help those 2 1/2 million people out there who are addicted? i'm here to tell you today, if you hearing the sound of my -- if you are within the sound of my voice and have an addiction problem, reach out to your physician, pharmacist, rent, family member, tell them i want to get better. i need help. we need you and we want you to get better. this legislation,
