But at the very least, if California wants to boycott Walgreens, it should probably stop shopping there. Which raises the question: What is the state of California buying from Walgreens, anyway?, which documents most spending by California state agencies, we can see that purchases vary widely. In 2019, for example, the Department of Transportation bought a bottle of hydrogen peroxide “to clean up from a dead skunk.” The same year, the California Conservation Corps spent $3.
The state’s purchases at other drug stores look similar: groceries and COVID tests at CVS; Post-its and lightbulbs at Rite Aid. Since 2015, incidentals like these have accounted for around 3 percent of California’s Walgreens spend. Mostly, California is using Walgreens to buy medicine for prisoners. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has turned to Walgreens for prescription drugs used to treat diseases like leukemia, lung cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, multiple sclerosis, asthma, hypertension, and age-related macular degeneration.
