Prescription Drugs: Hidden Addiction, Hidden Killer

When will you make drug prevention education a priority in Metro Vancouver?

Before  Christmas of 2009, 32 year old Brittney Murphy dies in her bedroom. The UK Guardian newspaper reported that ½ dozen prescription pill bottles were found in her room. Some of these prescription pills were highly addictive; only to be taken in extreme circumstances; risky.

Prescription pills have become the major source of hidden drug addiction. The drug pushers are no longer shady people with cell phones, expensive jewelry and more contacts than network marketers.

Many unsuspecting people are becoming hooked by the drugs given to them from their medical doctor.

Brittney Murphy was one such pharmaceutical death victim.

I took an excerpt out of the Guardian article of December 27^th:

“Of course, there is always going to be a subset of people who want to experiment with substances,” said Dr. Pirmohamed, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at Liverpool University. “There are also individuals who want to take risks. This is not the case with many of those addicted to painkillers and other prescription drugs, however. Many of these people simply do not realize that all drugs – no matter how beneficial – are poisonous at some level.

“That is the real key for dealing with this issue. We need to educate people to the dangers of all the medicines we consume.”

This statement, that all drugs are poisonous at some level has been echoed by many health professionals, MDs and educators. Narconon Vancouver has been warning families and parents that the real dangers of drug abuse and addiction may be sitting in your medicine cabinet, coming from you pharmacist and prescribed by someone’s doctor.

Narconon’s drug education programs have been telling kids that “All drugs are essentially poisons. It’s the amount taken the determines the effect.”

Often times, people need to die before any real notice is taken. I find this condition a sign of the times: only death is real. Degradation is also real; slow death begins with slight or great reductions of awareness, consciousness and / or perception of the real world.

Pay attention to indications when people are pulling back from life, or are pulling back from the truth.

Drugs only mask or alter the filter that we view reality with. Drugs never change life. Drugs only alter and worsen our abilities to face and handle living.
