The problem with this is that antibiotics are already way over perscribed. This is exascerbated in countries like Mexico and other 3rd world nations who don't require perscriptions for them. We are creating super-germs that are becomming ammune to antibotics and soon we will have no defense against them.

Good point. The people with a medicine cabinet full of half-used bottles of antibiotics are more of a threat to public health than the ones with a bag of pot in their nightstand.

I get it but that was not my understanding of the problem. If it is as you say, and I don't know for sure, then I would agree with your point. My understanding was that in many cases germs are becomming stronger, kinda of like a Darwinian thing. The strongest survive and are either immune to or much more resistant to antiibotics. In that scenario then today's antibiotics couldn't fight them off.
