An analysis of autopsies in 2007 released this week by the Florida Medical Examiners Commission found that the rate of deaths caused by prescription drugs was three times the rate of deaths caused by all illicit drugs combined.
This is a bit of a nostalgia piece for me. Oh, to be back in those halcyon days of the early 90s, when the War on (some) Drugs was one of my top civil liberties concerns. I guess it's sort of like looking back from a "South Park" reality, to a time when the world thought "Beevis and Butthead" was the height of offensive television. Almost cute, really.
