Los Angeles Pill Popping Culture Have Become A
Major Problem

• Pill popping has become a major part of our
  lifestyle and culture in Los Angeles.
• Ima pill poppin animal its the title of a
  famous song by Rick Ross that surprisingly
  applies to many people in Los Angeles, CA today.
  With the cool kid stigma thats now associated
  with mood-enhancing drugs in todays pop culture,
  residents of the La La Land are now relying on
  prescription drugs more than ever.
• Adding to this, so many people in Los Angeles
  today live the typically busy and fast pace
  lifestyle, they often tend to opt for a quick fix
  whenever they have the slightest headache.
• The result is a society that relies heavily (too
  much!) on prescription drugs.

Why Is Our Over-Reliance On Prescription Drugs A
Major Issue?

• Medical drugs are great, theres no denying it.
  They cure illnesses and improve the quality of
  life for individuals with serious diseases.
  However, there are far too many red flags being
  raised today because of prescription drug abuse.
  According to the National Institute on Drug
  Abuse,52 Million people in the US, over the age
  of 12, have used prescription drugs non-medically
  in their lifetime. It seems somewhere along the
  way the lines between medication and pleasure
  became blurred, people are no longer able to
  differentiate between self-pleasure and
  self-treatment
• Aside from the fact that this over-reliance has
  resulted in us spending about 300 billion
  annually on prescription drugs, more and more
  people today are dying from prescription drug
  abuse . Los Angeles County Department of Public
  Health have revealed in their report on
  prescription drugs that of the 8,265 drug-related
  deaths in the state since 2000, a whopping 60
  percent involved prescription drug abuse thats
  surprisingly more than the amount of deaths
  caused by illicit drug use in Los Angeles, CA.

• Our over-reliance on prescription drugs is not
  only costing us billions, but its also claiming
  our lives. Just this year pop star Prince died
  from an overdose of opioid fentanyl, a medication
  that is often used to prevent pain in certain
  medical procedures. News of the star cause of
  death has drawn a lot of attention to the opioid
  abuse epidemic in America but in reality this has
  been a growing problem for years.
• Pain relieving medications such as opioids are to
  date the most common drugs prescribed by doctors
  in Los Angeles. The bad news is that their
  long-term effects can result in serious health
  issues and addiction. Opioid medications can be
  very addiction because they affect the region of
  the brain that makes you feel good according to
  the National Institute on Drug abuse. For this
  reason, many people seek to increase usage and
  fails to adhere to their doctors
  recommendations.
