Doctors kill a LOT more people with their prescription drugs than illegal drugs ever thought of killing. The cops should be looking at those guys closer.

I think pill addiction is a serious problem, but preventing sick people from getting their medicine is not the way to go about addressing that problem. We need more availability of treatment centers for addiction, and better education about prescription drug abuse.
