Re: 97% of drug deaths from legal drugs
Quote:
97% of drug deaths from legal drugs
Tobacco 435,000
Alcohol & drunk driving 85,000
Bad reactions to prescription drugs 32,000
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs 7,600
———
559,600
All illicit drug use, direct and indirect 17,000
That’s %3.03 of total US drug deaths. (According to the Journal of the American Medical Association’s statistics, March 2004.)
These statistics show drug laws don’t protect us. Instead they protect politicians - they need drug laws to look tough because they’re too cowardly to go after real crooks.
In february 2008, Reuters announced 22,000 Americans died just from one legal drug:
“22,000 lives could have been saved if Trasylol had been taken off the market”
— reuters.com
Those guys are buying vacation homes - they’re rewarded for tricking people into believing their drugs were safe. But who’s jailed? Backyard gardeners.
After all, what could be easier for the government than taking the big drug dealer’s money? Jailing the small drug dealers.

The drug companies deliberately conceal the dangers of many drugs and no one ever gets prosecuted. Big Pharma dictates to governments. So much for the UN's absurd idea of a drug-free world.
