America: The Pill Popping Nation

by admin

Did you know America as a nation consumes 80% of the worlds prescription drugs?

Yea, its that bad.

Did you also know that America and New Zealand are the only 2 countries that allow direct to consumer advertising for prescription drugs? No wonder the pharmaceutical industry  spent 900 million in the last decade lobbying congress. Pills are also twice expensive here then anywhere else in the world on average.

Its come to the point where I’ve see girls in college popping 3-4 pills a day without even thinking anything of it. At such a young age unless your dying, there is no reason in my opinion to pop anything. These weren’t for recreational use either, these pills were prescribe. How about the 30 year old men and women that take 5 pills a day for so many reasons they don’t even know what they all are for? Doctors are even being gifted by these big companies for selling specific drugs like they are car salesman! Its truly gotten out of hand and all this bad food making people sick is not helping this cause either.

We need to wakeup and see these big billion dollar corporations do not have our best interest in mind except to keep us popping pills. They have even compromised some doctors which throws everything in a dangerously sick money grabbing loop, literally. Your body can heal itself of many things without the need of a pill for every ache and pain. Sleep, rest and water goes a long way people. With Americans getting unhealthier every year, which means more will turn to prescription drugs,  i only see this getting worse until we wakeup as a nation and make it better.

    This artical really caught my eye because it is such a huge and life threatening situation, not only with medications for all of these sicknesses but also opiates that are perscribed to almost anyone at any age. There has been so many lives that have been lost or ruined because if people that get addicted to opiates that are prescribed to them on a daily basis, and the medications that are prescribed such as methodone and subaxine that can destroy a person worse than what they were actually addicted to. The 3 things that will kill you the fastest alchohal narcotics and nicotine are legal, yet a natural herb is prohibted in still most states?

    I love what you guys put out because the issues are such a huge realities and people need to realize that us americans as a whole have the power to come together and bring peace and make change <3

    Much love and respect to the creators and writers of this website
