it Makes You Think.

Returning to the death of Michael Jackson just briefly. It now seems that a major factor in this tragedy could have been the misuse, or overperscription, of perscription drugs. This should be a remindder to us all that although we hear constantly about the dangers of Heroin, Cannabis and the like, for most of us the real danger of addiction can come from drugs perscribed by your doctor or bought over the counter at your local chemists. I remember once meeting a woman who was addicted to something as common as Askit.Many of us tend to pop your common or garden painkillers like Paracetamol or Aspirin with very little thought about what these things are doing longterm to our bodies even when we are well aware of the recommended daily dose. If the death of Michael Jackson has one good long term effect perhaps it will be to make all of us think more about what perscription and over the counter drugs can do to our bodies when we become too dependent on them or take them for granted.
