The United States accounts for 5% of the world's population, yet we consume 75% of the world's prescription drugs.

52 Million people in the US, over the age of 12, have used prescription drugs non-medically in their lifetime.

6.1 Million people have used them non-medically in just the past month.

There's a pill to make you happy

There's a pill to keep you awake

There's a pill to make you sleep

There's a pill to help you study

There's a pill to party

A pill has been crafted for almost everything you can think of

We have found so many different uses, and ways to access prescription drugs that this misuse, abuse, or addiction is present in every single town in America

How many people use adderal that's not theirs to study?

How many people take xanax for fun?

How many people have kept taking painkillers after a surgery or infection when they no longer needed them?

Try meeting someone in this country who doesn't know someone who has either taken, been addicted to, or died, from prescription drugs that were not theirs.

You don't need to party to be around drugs. The prescription drugs people want are easily taken from your parents, your friends medicine cabinet, bought, or even prescribed to you when you don't need them, or even want them.

Before you take a prescription drug that isn't yours, and that isn't prescribed to you, yourself, by a trusted doctor, truly think about it

One can lead to two, two can lead to three, and before you realize it you could be figuring out how to get more

After you get more then, you will only be getting more and more, and before you know it your body always wants it or has to rely on it to function

You might need this pill to do tasks or even get through the day, something you were able to do before you started it all

That's how it works, that's how an addiction can form

Taking prescription drugs that are not your own can create chemical imbalances in your brain that can take months or even years to recover from

There are a lot more dangers and complications than you think you know.

In the end, it really isn't worth it.
