WNU Editor: WOW!!!! Over 100,000 Americans die each year because of drugs, alcohol, and car accidents.

And nearly a third of those "Drug" related deaths involved legally sold, FDA approved, Doctor and VA prescribed, opiates ~ 15,000 in 2014.
If that many people were dying from Viagra, we'd be up in arms with pitch forks and torches, kicking in the doors to Pfizer - or using Law Enforcement to do it.
Instead, because the dealers and products are licensed, we call them something other than pushers and narcotics.
And yet alcohol related deaths were nearly double those of opiates - just try and prohibit the sale of alcohol.
Now ask: how many Americans died from Marijuana in 2014, and how many Americans sit in jail on Marijuana related charges - costing immense amounts of taxpayer dollars while those guarding them are prescribed opiates and addicted to alcohol?
