Washington State PDMP Controlled Substance Dispensations

While most states keep prescription drug monitoring data locked away for law enforcement use only, Washington publishes its controlled substance dispensation records for anyone to analyze. This dataset shows what controlled drugs Washington pharmacies handed out each year: opioids, stimulants, depressants, and other Schedule II-V substances. You get the drug name, how much was dispensed, how many days it was supposed to last, and morphine equivalents (a standard measure of opioid strength). There are no names, no patient identifiers, nothing that could identify who got what. Think of it as a public health dashboard showing the state's controlled substance landscape without the privacy concerns.
