Americans consume EIGHTY percent of the world’s pain pills as prescription drug abuse epidemic explodes
Americans consume 80 percent of the world’s supply of painkillers — more than 110 tons of pure, addictive opiates every year — as the country’s prescription drug abuse epidemic explodes.That’s enough drugs to give every single American 64 Percocets or Vicodin. And pain pill prescriptions continue to surge, up 600 percent in ten year, thanks to doctors who are more and more willing to hand out drugs to patients who are suffering.
53% of the population was too high to know who they were voting for
Another way of looking at this (not accurate, I guess): depression exacerbates pain, and having Obama as POTUS is damn depressing.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not on opiates.
But I do know that my back hurts more after I've been reading the news for a while. And the pain ain't from sitting, either. All the muscles tighten up when I think about the future of our nation.
We end up sometimes now actually stamping our feet
