[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] and the guys on the street selling dime bags? they don't kill as many people as the pharmaceutical companies do every year, and Pharma just adds the "costs" to our bill... this article doesn't even address all the people killed by "bad drugs' the ones that should not have been approved but are. the other day i heard minister on TV news saying how pot is bad and that it can't possibly be a real medical drug, he went onto say how safe 'real drugs" are cuz the Govt tests them and makes sure.. he was dead wrong, the Govt only requires that a drug be more efficacious than a placebo befroe they allow them to be marketed, after that? they sit back and wait to see how many people die before they act, and they do cover this stuff up... [b] Prescription Drugs Kill 300 Percent More Americans than Illegal Drugs Monday, November 10, 2008 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer (NaturalNews) A report by the Florida Medical Examiners Commission has concluded that prescription drugs have outstripped illegal drugs as a cause of death. An analysis of 168,900 autopsies conducted in Florida in 2007 found that three times as many people were killed by legal drugs as by cocaine, heroin and all methamphetamines put together. According to state law enforcement officials, this is a sign of a burgeoning prescription drug abuse problem. "The abuse has reached epidemic proportions," said Lisa McElhaney, a sergeant in the pharmaceutical drug diversion unit of the Broward County Sheriff's Office. "It's just explosive." In 2007, cocaine was responsible for 843 deaths, heroin for 121, methamphetamines for 25 and marijuana for zero, for a total of 989 deaths. In contrast, 2,328 people were killed by opioid painkillers, including Vicodin and Oxycontin, and 743 were killed by drugs containing benzodiazepine, including the depressants Valium and Xanax.
