This is a link to a discussion on the illegal use of prescribed narcotics, an epidemic that is quickly spreading throughout American teenagers and young adults
Sounds like what the video is saying is very accurate. Along with the eploits that are being sold(as I understand pieces of peoples lives?) there are also things like torrents that have things for free and are stealing the programs
Prescription drugs are too easy to get anymore. Whether your prescribed or not anyone can get them easily. I don't see anything changing unless they stop prescribing people altogether.
I think it’s terribly sad at how high the rates are for people selling their prescriptions, but even sadder that there is very little to be done without hurting people who are in dire need for these drugs.
Doctors can pick and chose who they prescribe to, because it’s hard to judge how much pain someone is actually in. It’s a shame people can’t act ethically in these types of situations.
there are so many people out there that are prescribed drugs that they need, and unless doctors stop prescribing these drugs, young americans will continue to abuse them. It is sad that young people choose to take pills they dont need, but i dont see anything stopping it in its tracks. Maybe strciter punishement would help??
Prescription drugs are so pathetic these days. Doctor's just prescribe, prescribe, prescibe. Someone who is sad for a week can go into the doctor's office and automatically get diagnosed for depression. I think these pills are even bad for your health too because your body cannot naturally fight off the infection or virus without a pill in your body.
for the most part people dont fully understand the affects of certain prescription drugs on the minds and bodies of those without the ailment. even adhd medication has negative heart effects for people with and without adhd. adhd people need these medications to function so they accept this trade off which people without the problem dont need to face.
The way prescribtion narcotics are perscribed and illegally sold is disturbing. Today too many doctors are willing to write out prescriptions for medications that are not actually needed by patients. I worked in a pharmacy for years and the number of people coming in with scripts for heavy narcotics who were obviously not in need of them was alarming. Since we can not do away with these drugs because there are those who truly need them, I feel that we should have stricter punishments for people caught selling narcotics and for the doctors who are prescribing them without sufficient evidence of a medical need for them.
