Back in 2000, about 1.5 million Americans abused prescription drugs. Two years later, that number quadrupled -- to more than six million. That's a 400% increase. Thousands of people die each year because they overdose on prescription medications.

Prescription drugs, a category of psychotherapeutics that comprises prescription-type pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives, are among the substances most commonly abused by young people in the United States. Prescription drugs are readily available and can easily be obtained by teenagers who abuse these drugs to experience a variety of desired effects. Often these young people are unaware of the serious health risks involved in abusing prescription drugs. Increasingly younger adolescents obtain prescription drugs from classmates, friends, and family members, or they steal the drugs from school medicine dispensaries and from people for whom the drug had been legitimately prescribed. Keywords: narcotics. Prescription drugs, which are widely available and easy to obtain, provide young people with an easily accessible, inexpensive means of altering their mental and physical state. Abusers may experience a heightened sense of pleasure, euphoria, drowsiness, increased energy, or various other effects depending upon the drugs they abuse. Young people who abuse prescription drugs put themselves at risk of experiencing dangerous side effects. Prescription drugs--when taken as prescribed by a physician--successfully treat a variety of mental or physical conditions. However, when abused, these drugs can alter the brain's activity and lead to debilitating or life-threatening health problems and result in physical or psychological dependence. Public domain video.

Amen! I have been under treated for pain for years and suffer daily. Patients are not believed and labeled as drug seekers. I worked in a ER and my job was to flag anybody who received narcotics. They were all labeled. Some of these people were dying of AIDS, Cancer, and other diseases like broken bones, burns. They were labeled.

Well this is all well and good, but the bottom line is that the legitimate pain sufferers are not being treated with the medications that they need due to the war on drugs.In the state of Ky your chances of being properly treated for pain issues are slim to none.My daughter was given only 12 pain tablets after an appendectomy/endometriosis combo surgery, so you tell me who is suffering from the war on drugs.I'm all for fighting illegal drugs, but PLEASE forget about those in need of them

I had 3 ruptured disks in my lower back and had 2 disks removed and had braces and screws added.You say there are other treatments and i say bullshit, i have had cortizone shots and injections numerous times.Iv'e been to therapists and chiropracters.And none of it helps.I live on heating and cold ice packs and take meds to take the edge off of pain.And to be honest i rather take medicines that help and live 10 years then live 30 years and have a pain level of 8.Thank you and have a nice day.

It is true that life can really suck sometimes, but popping a pill is not the answer. The quick fix mentality is a lie and you may suffer side effects and addiction. Your life will go from bad to worse.

The menacing music and obvious distaste with which the narrator describes drug abuse is rife with ignorance. This is like watching a chlidren's movie, more innocent than an actual child. Drugs are abused because life sucks, people. Come back when you understand that "adversity" means something heavier than which potential lover to fuck, or refusing a tempting dessert.

The only people who bitch about prescription pain killers are dumbasses who have never had a serious disease like cancer that cause intense pain.
