That is true.
There may be more people dying from prescribed drugs than illegal drugs.

You need to keep up. They recently did a segment on 60 Minutes showing how pharmaceutical companies are literally flooding small towns with opioid pain killers. A Republican who was nominated for a major post in the government, can't remember which, was involved and withdrew his name for consideration after the report came out. Rural areas have been slammed with this stuff and while some may not have a problem with them many do. Heroin is a problem but not the problem it is in Europe, which is much closer to the poppy fields of Afghanistan. I thought the same thing you did until I saw the 60 Minutes report and the stats they cited.
Google opioid epidemic 60 Minutes and see for yourself. They've got a complete transcript and you can see what has caused this latest epidemic. Feel free to apologize too.

I am on top of it ... you are just making
up.I saw the 60 minute episode.
Some ignorant posted this:
Almost all opioid deaths are from black market opioids laced with fentanyl and other illegal drugs.
People may get 'hooked'/addicted to opioids from Rx drugs but the OD deaths that are occurring are from black market laced opioids whose dosage is unknown to the user.

I have already posted everything that is relevant in the 60 minutes piece.
If you would bother yourself to understand what others are posting rather than trolling ignorant crap, you would not be the laughing stock in this thread.
I apologize to all the other posters in this thread for not banning you from this thread.
Free speech is painful for others but your right.

Again, read the transcript. Many thousands of people got hooked on pain killers that doctors were told were safe to prescribe. Then the pharmaceutical companies set up "pain management" clinics in these areas to sell mega millions of pills without oversight because a Republican congressman working on their behalf got the DEA to look the other way. Not saying no deaths occurred because of heroin, only that this huge epidemic was actually fueled by several greedy companies. And most likely many of the people who died were seeking other ways to satisfy their addiction and turned to heroin. But the reason they were hooked to begin with wasn't the black market pushing heroin, it was major pharmaceutical companies looking to make huge profits and literally flooding towns with pills and making them cheap and easy to obtain. 60 Minutes isn't a bastion of conservatism, and they don't just throw out anything hoping it'll stick like some news outlets do.I am on top of it ... you are just making
