<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Happy to have been corrected about the list of states that are not participating in the DEA authorized receiver program. I left out MO and NH. The list of states is:
<span lang="en-US"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="black" face="Tahoma,sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">AK, CT, HI, MN, MO, MS, NH, & NY</span></font></span></font></span>
<div>My searches using the DEA on-line locator has turned up a pharmacy in two of these states. These seem to be errors.<br>
