Prescription Drugs

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

Tonight NBC Nightly News did a story on prescription drugs and how their illegal use is becoming a growing problem. Well during that same newscast I saw at least 3 ads for guess what, prescription drugs! Its rather interesting that the number of prescription drug ads has been accompanied by an increase in prescription drug abuse. Coincidence? I doubt it, but thats just me. All of this is happening while we continue to fight the war on drugs. Why should we continue to waste money and manpower keeping illegal drugs out when we can't even properly control LEGAL drugs? Its like the FDA approving things as safe and then turning around and recalling them due to harmful side-effects....oh wait thats actually happening too.
