Your honest Opinion: Drug Abuse?
Question by sakira_starwolf: Your honest Opinion: Drug Abuse?
Are you more worried about prescription or illegal drug abuse? How common do you think each is?
Why?
NO SOURCES OR LINKS, PLEASE. I know the correct statistics, but this is to see if I can continue with this as an educational project in my school. So don’t bias the other responses. Try not to read responses before you post yours. I just want your honest here and now opinion.
Thank you.
Here’s why you should care.
-Probably all those giveaway prescriptions make the costs go up even more to make them.
-They kill as many people, MORE, than illegal.
-Doctors use them. Do you really want to be inspected or have surgery performed on you by a high doctor?
Prescriptions are often mixed with alcohol, too. They kill the same number, more some years, then illegal.
Still don’t care?

I don’t care as long as all those crazy addicts are nowhere near me.
