Street drugs are illegal and toxic, while doctor prescribed or over-the-counter drugs are legal and equally toxic. Both groups are potential killers with prescribed legal ones killing over a hundred thousand annually. All of these chemical toxins have serious side effects with legal ones impacting over two million users a year. Why do we take drugs then when they wreck so much havoc? Drug users are often escape artists, sometimes they're hypochondriacs, but too many of them are looking for quick answers to complex medical conditions. Drugs may cure temporarily, but they don't solve the problems causing the problems. Other common problems arise from improper dosages or interactions between various drugs. All of the above nuances require close observation and smart moderation.
