There are many teens who look to OTC''s and Prescription Drugs to help improve their life. These teens would not be using them if they were not there. The drugs are everywhere and easy to get. The limits on these drugs can not disappear but the adults can help with this. For teenagers who live at home they can analyze the behaviors of their teens. For teens at college, they can always call and check up on them or when they come home check up on them. There can be changes.

Most teens won''t realize that they are harmful until they have a personal experience to themself, or a close friend or family member, or even just an acquaintance. This will stop their use because they will see it is harmful.

Sometimes we teens have to learn from experience or mistakes, not just be told it by an adult, news, or school.

Anna Nicole Smith & her wackiness being on drugs should have been a wake up call 4 anyone using prescription drugs. Perhaps if young kids & adults could see the results in a Medical Examiner''s office the results of such actions they would think twice b/4 taking pills. & kids need to know to stay away from people who do drugs of any kind. They are losers, and want to bring others down. I do not like MJ personally but a regulated legalized growing without additives seems personally to be the lesser of the two evils.

If the truth were to be known and such records were kept. The Number 1 cause of death in this country would be Medical Intervention.

This is exactly what Big Pharma wants. A pill for every problem. All prescription medicine are made from unnatural products with tremendous side effects. If you think taking prescription medicine daily will make you healthier you better take another look. When Statin Drugs are proven ineffective with all those side effects are finally remove from the market place, this sole event will signal the end of the daily prescription madness that has been promoted by Doctors with great financial incentives to put everyone on this poison. There clinical trial are an absolute joke.

So what is the solution?

People die of drug overdose. Should we put them to death for using drugs?

People ruin their lives taking drugs. Should we ruin their lives by putting them in prison for years?

People make bad choices. Should we take away their freedom?

What is the solution? Even if people make bad choices that destroy lives, why do you think you can make their choices for them? Who made you gods?

I would rather take my chances being free than know for certain I will be a slave.

I agree that alot of this is hype - internet sales of alot of prescription drugs are being made illegal because the big drug companies are not making as much money for them AND since there is no doctor visit involved, the MD''s are having fits! Let''s make sure the poor/middle class get''s the bite instead of rich MD''s and multi-million dollar drug companies, as usual!

I have come to believe that the government and the drug companies are in bed together on what medications are made available, how much and when. There could be a cure for cancer out there right now but just think of the loss of profit to the government and the drug companies when they can no longer charge huge amounts of money for supposed anti-cancer drugs and surgeries.

I believe that the goverment knew years before it came out to the public that cigarette smoking was dangerous to our health but the government and the tobacco companies were making big bucks and wanted to make as much as they could before the general public found out the truth on their own. Then the government shunned the tobacco companies, making it entirely their fault for producing a cancer-causing agent and proceeded to hike up taxes on this product in their attempt to protect the public (ha-ha) and make it harder for people to continue to purchase cigarettes. Another lie from the government, and even more profits!!

Tens of thousands dead every year.
Millions seriously injured and damaged all in the name of profit and population control.
Quacks more than willing to hook children and adults on dangerous psych drugs.

Yeah, I''''''''d say we might have a problem.
