Drug Addiction
When it comes to drug addictions, opioids are the drug of choice in America. Roughly 130 people die every day in this country because they overdose on opioid drugs such as prescription painkillers or heroin. Next in line come synthetic drugs such as Spice, Molly, or Meth. These drugs are cooked up in illegal labs, sometimes using toxic ingredients that can be harmful or fatal to the person who uses them.
