The pharmaceutical industry is drugging and fleecing Americans. According to the National Insitute of Drug Addiction, in 2010, enough prescription painkillers were prescribed to medicate every american adult every 4 hours for 1 month.4 The number of prescription medicine abusers in 2010 was 8.76 million. Most abused prescription drugs fall under 3 categories: 5 Painkillers: 5.1 million Tranquilizers: 2.2 million Stimulants: 1.1 million
Pharmaceuticals are the drug of choice for more and more teenagers. The industry is inabling generations of drug addicts with pain killers, happy pills, and sex drugs. The side effects of over priced over prescribed prescriptions will cloud the future of our country for decades.
The prescription drugs you take should be minimal and under the direct supervision of a doctor who's not profiting from the sale. Sign this petition to put the pharmaceutical companies back in the bottle. Please stop drug companies from advertising on television.
