Google it up for yourselves. More people dying every minute, every day of the year from prescription drugs than ALL recreational drugs (meth, heroin, coke, etc.) put TOGETHER.
And the drug dealer is your doctor and you don't get arrested. You just die.

How can that even be calculated with any accuracy? Many people who use prescription drugs are on a *lot* of different kinds. Did they all kill the person? Did they help? Hurt? I mean how can you single out which drug was the "killer drug" ?
And then there's lots of prescription deaths that are likely people selling them to others.
I don't take any myself, I don't like the idea of being attached to a drug like that (and I don't have any serious illnesses) but it seems fishy to just say "people are dying"... Are people also being helped?
I mean you can get high from gasoline, should we stop selling it? It causes serious brain damage. Is it Exxon's fault if someone gets addicted to their gasoline?
