An Epidemic, That is The Mother of ALL EpidemicssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #news7 years ago

  Im going to make this short, however.... 

In the U.S. ALONE, the OPITAE (painkillers, morphine pills, OxyConton, and eventually street heroin) during ONLY the years of 2000, to 2005 MORE THAN 550,000 fellow brothers and sisters have DIED due to OPIATE Overdoses...!! 91 Americans DIE, EVERY DAY from opiate related overdoses, or accidents. I think, it's absolutely reasonable to say, this IS a SEVERE EPIDEMIC, here, in the beautiful, United States of America.....
However... The picture that I posted is the REAL synthetic danger. Xanax: a legally prescribed, anxiety/sleep/depression medication that is HIGHLY, HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. SO MUCH, WAY, WAAAY MORE SO THAN ANY Opiate available.... Does anyone reading this realize, that there are tens.... even HUNDREDS of thousands of unfit, lazy, insane, rich, falsely-sophisticated "parents", in this country that are allowing quacked-out, so-called, "doctors" to prescribe their CHILDREN Xanax!!! YES!!

 I know.....people are deranged!!  Well at least, I hope that most of you reading this share that pinion....
  It's ALL getting out of control.... And, I don't know if any government, or organized leadership anywhere in the world can stop this epidemic from continuing to spread like a cancer throughout the body of a 99 year old cancer patient.

xanax sucks.
