Did You Know Prescription Drugs
Cause More Deaths than Heroin and
Cocaine Combined? The truth is that a pill synthesized in
a laboratory and provided by a
doctor can kill someone just like
someone injecting a drug with a
dirty needle in a back alley. Studies
have reported that accidental overdose deaths due to prescription
opioids (the most common opiods
are opium, codeine, morphine, etc)
now outnumber the deaths due to
heroin and cocaine combined. One reason prescription drugs are
so dangerous is that s don’t
respect them the way they might
respect heroin or a drug with an
uglier reputation. For example,
s may combine prescriptions with alcohol or other drugs, which
can lead to dangerous depression
of body function like respiration.
Heroin may kill by its impurity, but
prescription drugs kill by their
assumed safety. Now you know.. —
