I wouldn't point the finger at them and say they're breaking the law. Maybe they have medical conditions that require the use of controlled substances. Benzo's would be likely for the anxiety caused by the work environment. Stimulants can be prescribed for fatigue, which I'm sure anyone with 18 hours stressful workdays would suffer from. Controlled sleep aids might be used for those with insomnia due to the anxiety-producing nature of their lifestyles, or erratic schedules and travel.
Just a thought. I don't like going around calling be illegal drug abusers without knowing the full story.
If you want to find people who commonly abuse medications without prescriptions, look at college campuses.
