your comments and notice
could well begin here

if the comment is 'allowed'

hearing

""PERCRIBED DRUGS
kill more people..THAN ALL OTHER DRUGS COMBINED*

then there is the legal 'dugs'...[like booze
other drugs..not 'percribed'..]

i would quote a bit from it[the link]
but thats why past ones..didnt gain acceptance...of peer revieuws

anyhow again
here is some news
http://www.activistpost.com/2012/01/cannabis-treatment-threatens-deadly.html

commentary welcomed
discussion willing to be enterd into
[even editing]

Is that so OUG?
And you found your' evidence for this statement from a US pro-cannabis site?
Look up schizophrenia and other mental health disorders on reputable sites, and see what they say about cannabis use.

I will hazard a guess that there are more people SAVED by prescription drugs than there are killed by them.

I note you haven't added the legal drug tobacco to your' list of killers?

Tobacco kills more than all the prescription and non-prescription drugs put together.

growup

the site links to the other site
http://naturalsociety.com/more-deaths-from-painkillers-than-cocaine-heroin/

from which the info is fully explained

read this bit
from the first link

""Pharmaceutical painkillers..are now responsible for more deaths in the United States than heroin and cocaine combined.

These pharmaceuticals are responsible for more than 15,000 deaths conservatively in 2008 alone...With no sign of slowing down, the painkiller industry is becoming wildly popular among Americans — as a result, so is the high rate of painkiller abuse.

one in 100 hospitalisations are for adveres reaction..to perscribed drugs

one in ten results in death

official numbers
unofficially lets include sucide/phocotic behaviours
booze etc

adverse reactions
in many other cases are declared natural deaths
these details..only cover hospital admissions

dead on arrival dont get hospitalised
so dont count

but we all get put on drugs
and that scam is astrating to unwind

of course sick people should have their drugs
but not when its sickness by average...or by definition

depression isnt a sickness
its a mind set..self destructive mindset

[anyhow i wrotre it better last time
but that post simply dissappeared]

but im saving this one for next time the post just dissappears

Alcohol is probably the most socially destructive drug available.

As bad as smoking is for the individual, I've never heard of anybody gambling away their wages, beating up family members or committing manslaughter after a night on the fags.

It's also not held up as a "Rite of Passage" and something to aspire to for youth or considered a proud cultural symbol that we build entire communities around in the shape of those booze "shooting galleries" we call Clubs and Pubs.

Woah there, wobbles!

Not much point asking if we could discuss it over a beer, then?

OUG congrats on getting a thread up.
While understanding it is true legal drugs kill to.
It is a cop out to try the drug users standard condemnation, reason to use on us.
Aware you do not agree smoking kills, let me say it does.
But over use of your drug of choice grass, can make life a living death.
The Elephant in the room, always standing next to the nanny state crew is health costs.
Those inflicted by people expressing their right to use and paid for by those who do not .
