Does Anyone Else See a Problem With Our Drug Addicted Society?

Question by Pisces Taylor: Does anyone else see a problem with our drug addicted society?
its not just illegal drugs that are problems. Our society is taking ridiculous amounts of unneccesary drugs. How can we “keep kids of drugs” when parents are taking more drugs than kids? Does anyone else think its insane the amount of pills ppl carry? Almost every family has a medicine cabinet full of man made “medicines” that have worse side effects than they do cures. everyday it seems there is a new lawsuit about some medicine having bad side effects or killing ppl. Most women carry a whole pharmacy in their purse. The answer to every problem seems to be “take another pill”. Then ppl wonder why they feel so crappy. The pills that actually aren’t placebos are dangerous! All these unnatural chemicals in our bodies are going to kill us way faster than pot would! yet our society deems it perfectly acceptable to overdose our bodies with “legal” drugs……does anyone else have issues with this?

I totally Agree. Look at the celebrites (A. Whinehouse), they’re no different. It’s like a new trend. Pop a Pill, cure your life

I have to agree, especially the side effects issue, some of the drugs / medicines are known to cause worse illnesses than the original illness they are taken for, prime example being methadone taken as a heroin substitute, and the person ending up with a raging (worse) habit of methadone addiction
