Prescription pills


Prescription pills are a form of medical care that is meant to help people deal with multiple different problems. Doctors prescribe pills to all types of people for an array of different reasons. I have heard of numerous stories where people faked conditions in order to get pills for their own recreational use instead of using them for medicinal purposes. But, let’s be honest. Getting any type of drug imaginable is possible. How else would there be so many drug addicts and such harsh drug regulations? The fact is, prescription pills can be, and in a lot of cases are, worse than drugs that are illegal. Many people die or have a life-altering event every year due to the uses of prescription medication. Also, most of them time these problems occur with out the misuse or mishandling of the pills (i.e. using them for non medical reasons). How does this happen considering we are suppose to have people that are meant to check these pill before they are even allowed to be used by the public. Those people work for the federal drug and food administration. But, they must not be administering much of anything if they repeatedly cannot catch harmful drugs from being released to the public. So, why do people even take pills? How come everybody still trusts the fact that these drugs are passed by the FDA? It is clear that harmful drugs are always being approved, but, yet, we still think that the next one that is approved is an improvement from the previous ones that have been approved and were proven bad. Hopefully this changes soon.
