In the United States, it is estimated that 2.5 million Americans used prescription drugs non-medically in 2010 alone. This number is on the rise, and so is the number of people who become addicted. Because there is no way for doctors to tell if a patient has already gone to one or more other doctor, and received a prescription for a drug, people have the ability to easily abuse these legal drugs. The reason it continues is because of the multi-billion dollar Pharmaceutical companies lobby and donate to politicians so that people will keep buying and abusing their drugs so they can make a hefty profit. Please help stop this tragedy from continuing to ruin the lives of thousands of Americans and the people around them.
