Sensationalizing of Drugs has feed Drug Addiction to Pandemic Proportions

We exist in a society where drugs are sensationalized as the easy way out of out of our emotional and physical problems: painkillers for headaches and joint pains, antidepressants for the “blues”, alcohol to make us lose our inhibitions and be more sociable or recreational drugs to give us a different high and enjoy social gatherings.

The sensationalism of the pharmaceutical “solutions” to man’s emotional and physical problems have inculcated in us that popping pills to banish illnesses and woes are normal. Inadvertently, these will pave the way to get sucked up in the mainstream of abuse, misuse, and addiction. Today’s generations have become slaves to the pharmaceutical “wonders” to escape from pain, inhibitions and worries. This pharmaceutical dependency has created mushrooming legal and illegal markets of legal and illegal drugs. The need to escape and be free has spawned a drug problem of pandemic proportions.
