So, a lot of stupid people are dying from a few specific drugs. Good. Cull out the stupid ones.

These numbers are a small portion of a nation wide epidemic that is so far out of control is has become a nightmare for so many families. Drugs like Methadone can kill with one pill and has flooded our streets in popularity. Doctors are not being held accountable for the massive distribution of these drugs. They basically have a license to deal in legal narcotics, many times linked to diversion and deaths. These numbers only include those that had an autopsy, most with pre existing illnesses may have died from these drugs but where never evaluated assuming it was other health issues. Methadone, OxyContin, Fentynal and others are taking lives at a rapid pace. Our FDA and SAMHSA ignore these death tolls in favor of the frug companies and the politicians are blinded by the benefits of the lobbyist. A human life has lost it's value in this country when it comes to drug companies and doctors. Mothers Against Medical Abuse. Org

And the number of deaths attributable to cannabis toxicity:? ZERO. Still.

This self-serving report specifically attacks only prescription medications. They singled prescription drugs out for special comment. Indeed, prescription drugs are the only drugs thus commented on. We have come to the point where the Drug War has finally made the final leap to attacking perfectly legal drugs! They do not, however, say how many of these decedents may have had legal prescriptions for the drugs found in their systems. Therefore their data is useless and, of course, self-serving. The Drug War is a noose tightening around our necks.
