Sure people abused them before but they've never abused them as much as they do now. Like I said before I don't know if they're killing more people but if they are then maybe the reasons why they are is because they're easier to get a hold of and people perceive them as less harmful and addicting.
Certain prescription drugs have the potential to be just as habit forming and harmful as hard drugs. In my opinion its easier for the majority of people to get a script or a hold of prescription pills than hard or illegal drugs. A lot of them believe if they're getting them the legal way by getting a script or if they're buying them off of someone else who has one then they're not doing anything wrong.
They think that just because a doctor prescribes them to some people then they're not as harmful as illegal drugs. They probably think,oh well these pills must not be that bad otherwise the doctor wouldn't have prescribed them to the person I bought them off of. Why would a doctor prescribe something that could potentially hurt me?
I'm not putting weed in the hard drug category. I don't smoke weed but I consider weed a soft drug for the most part. Its also one of the easiest illegal drugs to get. Its always been easier to get than the other illegal drugs.
