The OTC drug abuse problem is HUGE.

The demand for painkillers for recreational use is HUGE.

The demand for painkillers for pain relief is HUGE.

good points - and not enough nannies to hover over everyone.

Folks should be provided the best info on drugs and be repsonible for their own well being. If someone injures themselves or failes to cure themselves its their responsibilty.

Medical savings accounts are the only answer to get folks to take matters into their own hands and learn how to stay healthy. Now there is little incentive due to all the 3rd party payers.

People like Rush with chronic pain can either seek more extensive surgical treatment or eat opiates every day. Each has its own risks and benefits. We should be able to decide and not fear witch hunters and Woddie Church Ladies.
