I just read this morning that there were 100,000 deaths from drug overdoses in 2020. Itโ€™s sickening. This show scared the bejeezus out of me. I wish it were available more widely to allow a greater audience to learn about the influence Pharm has on local, state and federal governments. Was it you who said itโ€™s a Weapon of Mass Destruction? It most certainly is and how has NO government since the 80s been able to even make a dent in any of the epidemics starting with meth?

I know many helpful solutions can be put into place, but one of them, as the show acknowledges, is that people donโ€™t want rehab clinics in their communities. The irony is that about 1 out of 4 people suffer from addiction be it alcohol, prescription or street drugs. Everyone knows someone who is affected by addiction. So itโ€™s better to keep it inside the walls of homes and let it rage rather than put up a clinic? Ridic!
