Drug Addiction: 1 in 5 KIDS used prescription drugs last month
Report from the American Center for Disease Control:
CDC
In 2007-2008, 1 out of every 5 children and 9 out of 10 older Americans reported using at least one prescription drug in the past month.
Also the number of people using at least one prescription drug in the last month is now 48%; two or more is 31%; five or more are used by 11% of American.
That's simply incredible. It cost them over $230 billion to scarf all those drugs and yet they're still unhealthy as fuck...and but sweet jesus, what are 20% of kids doing on prescription drugs?!
Here's a good biased rant about it.
