America is one of the most severe epidemics of drug use. As a matter of fact, Trump is looking for a state of emergency to address this issue.

The high pressures of modern societies have caused many people in these societies to experience mental and neurological problems. People to escape the tensions of this type of lifestyle, turned to doctors. In every community, depending on the treatment process, they try to cure these people. The community and the US doctrine have also made it the best way to tackle the problem (Using analgesics for patients), and they're putting these people in the same way as prescribing drug therapies. In order to get acquainted with the epidemic of drug administration in the United States, we first need to get to know the types of drugs.
2037335.jpg


Oxycodone : An antipyretic drug that is used to reduce moderate to severe pains. It is sometimes used alone or in combination with other analgesics such as acetaminophen.

Opioid : The natural and chemical substance set is similar to morphine or opioid substances that attach to neoplastic opioid receptors in synapses. The function of all of them in the body is similar to that of the analgesic neurotransmitters (endorphins), which, by effecting the central nervous system, relieves pain in the body. It should be noted that acetaminophen is used to relieve common pain and severe pain. This drug contains a pain medication (hydrocodone) and non-opiate substance (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone affects the brain to change your body's feelings and pain response. Acetaminophen can also reduce fever.

Hydrocodone : An analgesic that acts to relieve pain on the central nervous system. If hydrorodone is used for a long time, it may cause physical and psychological dependence on the individual. Hydroquiding is used to treat severe pain. This drug belongs to a group called opioid analgesics and affects the central nervous system and relieves pain.

2037339.jpg


Vicodin : It is a drug containing a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. It is commonly seen as a capsule and usually prescribed for patients who can not tolerate chronic and severe pain. This drug usually creates a strong sense of happiness in a person continuously for a long time. Also, the mind and body reciprocally soothe and thus relieve the particular. This drug is essentially classified under a specific category of drugs called pain medication.

opiate : Including drugs, including opiate drugs, are special for codeine and can sometimes be used to treat migraine pain when people can not take triptans or ergot. Nervoccans are addictive and often only recommended as the last resort.

United States and the sinkhole of prescribed addictive drugs :

The United States, as the country where the epidemic of misuse of prescription drugs has reached a critical level, holds 80% of the world's total repository of drugs, and people in the country spend more than 110 different types of opioids annually. This amount is enough to give 64 pills percocets or Vicodin to any American person. This is while the amount of prescription drugs over the last ten years has increased by 600% using painkillers.

More than 100 million Americans suffered chronic pain, according to the Medicare Institute's 2011 report. Americans consume more than 80% of the world's produced analgesics, according to a US Congressional report, endorsed by the mediator community of doctors. In the same vein, Pharmacist Howard Levine, in an interview with the BBC, stated: "We have become an indifferent and depressed community."

2037375.jpg

In the same vein, in 2016, the former chairman of the Food and Drug Administration accused the United States of overdose of medications that led to an increased epidemic. David Kessler, who presided over the Food and Drug Administration from 1990 to 1997, stated: "This (overdose of medication) has been one of the biggest medical mistakes of modern medicine." He also in conversation With the BBC added , 78 people they daily due to overdose. ::::

"This is a real United States of America, it's an American disease. Inappropriate promotion of narcotic drugs has contributed significantly to this learning, and the reason is that pharmaceutical companies only describe some of the drug's properties and make it non-addictive. "

Also, one of the American General Surgeons stated:
"In most countries, the use of prescriptive opioid drugs is limited due to the complications for individuals and their health, but in the United States, each person can have a glass of pill or some of it."

He also added:

"The major misuse of opiate drugs comes from writing illegal copies."


Looking at the statistics on drug use and anti-depressant drugs, the mortality and morbidity of using them can be examined both statistically and in the eyes of the relevant experts and organizations.

Crimes of prescription drug use :

The US police report increasing the number of theft and other crimes by people who are addicted to oxycodone or hydrocodone, which is the key ingredient in opiate drug .
One of the indications of the effects of these drugs on individuals is reported by Daily Mail in 2012. A 28-year-old man in Florida, shook his daughter , a 9-year-old girl , for the excessive effect of prescription drugs until his daughter died.

According to the BBC, the number of people who use analgesics has increased by 600 times and the number of crimes that have been reported by addicted people has increased.

Externally prescribed prescription
The 4 billion prescription written in 2011 was the news release released by the Life Science Foundation in the summer of 2012. According to a new process published in the Journal of Cystic Neuroscience, 4.02 billion copies were issued in 2011, indicating a relative increase compared to 2010, amounting to 3. 99 billion this year.

2037331.jpg

In an interview with CNBC, Irina Kaufler, Senior Processor and Pharmaceutical Specialist, commented:
"300 million copies of analgesic remedies were written in 2015. This medication is worth $ 24 billion in sales, and this market is not evenly distributed around the world. The sheer consumption of analgesic opiate drugs in the United States, which accounts for only 5% of the world's population, shows that there is a profound difference between rich countries and the rest of the world when talking about prescription drug treatments. "

In another study published by the National Security Council, almost 99% of physicians prescribed over-the-counter (3 days a month) prescription drugs and one quarter of them wrote copies for a full month, and so these drugs Are overdose.

In 2010, the Food and Drug Organization Panel suggested that health assessments of analgesics be developed, and trainers should be trained again. But the curriculum has been voluntary for the past four years and the organization's statistics show that less than half of the doctors are targeted for education. It should be noted that at present 1.5 million doctors in the United States are licensed for the administration of analgesics.

In a study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic and published in the Mayo Clinical Journal, it has been shown that 7 out of 10 Americans have used opiate drugs at least once. The most commonly used prescription drugs in the United States are 17% of antibiotics, followed by 13% of antidepressants and drug drugs.

The most commonly used prescription drugs in the United States are 17% of antibiotics, followed by 13% of antidepressants and drugs.
Dr. Jennifer Saur, a member of the Mayo population health program and researcher of the study, says: "Often when talking about the health status, we talk about conditions for chronic diseases such as heart disease or diabetes. While the second common prescription is antidepressant drugs, showing that mental health is a very important issue to focus on. It is also the third most commonly used drug due to its addictive nature, which is alarming. "
"When the number of prescriptions rises, deaths are also rising," said Thomas Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Overdose of prescription opioids has become widespread in the United States.
2037330.jpg

The annual growth trend is in the United States from 2013 to 2022. These figures indicate an annual increase in these figures in the American medical system.


Vikesh Singh, Ph.D. Assistant Professor and Head of Research Center at Hopkins University, says:
If you consider taking medication in North America and Western Europe, it is estimated that 95% of these drugs (opiate analgesics) are in these two regions, while the rest of the world consumes only 5% of these drugs.

Mortality rates due to overdose of opiate prescription drugs :
The Daily Mail reported that the use of these drugs led to the death of 14,800 people annually, which is more than deaths from cocaine and heroin.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 28,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2014. Surprisingly, these deaths account for 60 percent of all deaths from drug overdoses in the United States this year. A report published by the same facility revealed that the deaths from drug overdose reached a new figure of 47.055 in 2014. Though drugs, which are one of the most powerful painkillers, require a doctor's dossier, of which more than 60% of the deaths were due to them.

2037338.jpg

The overdose of prescription drug use has steadily risen to nearly 19,000 in the United States for more than a decade in 2014, up from 2014, and the total drug overdoses (non-prescription drugs that are unauthorically consumed by people) Has been exceeded by 28,000.
All analgesics are a subgroup of drugs, but antidepressants have the highest risk of addiction. A large number of Americans die every year due to excessive use of pain medications.

Overdozes have reached the level that people who died in the United States due to drug overdose in 2016, more than a number of people killed in the Vietnam War. It is estimated that between 59,000 and 65,000 people have died due to overdose in 2016.

Prevalence of consumption in different ages, especially children and women

The State Audit Office has reported that roughly a third of American children use at least one psychiatric drug. American children also use these medications three times more than antidepressants compared to their European peers.
In addition, according to a research conducted by the National Drug Abuse Institution, it has been shown that 15 percent of high school students have used prescription drugs inaccurately.
The rate of antidepressant use among American women is higher than in other countries.
In 2007, in the United States, 2.5 million people used prescription analgesics for the first time, while in the same year 2.1 million people used marijuana for the first time. Non-medical use in American high schools grew 12 percent this year.
Another study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the prevalence of prescription drug use among people aged 20 years and older was 59% in 2012. At the same time, the percentage of people who use five or more of the five prescription drugs has risen from 8% to 15%.
Also, according to a report by the medical group, the use of opioids for psychiatric care varies from one age to another. For example, nearly 21% of white adults use medical drugs and 9% of indigenous Latin Americans use antidepressants, as well as a quarter People between 60 and 85 years of age use at least one of the three commonly used psychiatric drugs, while less than 10% of people aged 18-39 years use this medication.

The results in a study in the United States show that a child is born with symptoms of drug addiction every hour. The Guardian reported a threefold increase in the number of children born with addiction symptoms between 2000 and 2009, and the number of mothers who tested positive for their opiate addiction has tripled.

The following tables are derived from the 2013 data extraction from the AMS database, the largest medical presenter:

The volume of the sales market

Americans spent $ 35 billion on OxyContin, widely known as Haley Billy Heroin since its release in 1996 to today. This medication is a pain reliever with a gentle release rate that can relieve pain for several hours. According to new AMS data, Americans spent 4.3 billion copies worth $ 374 billion for drug use in 2014. According to statistics, since 2011, Americans have had the highest levels of consumption in 2014, up 13% year-over-year.

2037333.jpg


Moving from drug-based analgesics to heroin use :
Many Americans go to heroin soon after they start taking illicit drugs, because it is cheaper and easier to access. The United States now faces an epidemic of heroin use. In fact, the number of Americans who died due to the overdose of heroin quadrupled from 2000 to 2013. For this reason, the US government was forced to cope with the crisis and approved a bill allocating more than $ 1 billion for the next year to combat the crisis.
The JAMA Center in a 2014 study found that analgesics' users are becoming heroin users, and in an analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2015, people who are addicted to prescription analgesics 40 times more likely to have heroin addiction.
Surprisingly, people in different age groups who have used prescription analgesics in the United States are 19 times more likely to be taking heroin than those of the same age group who started taking heroin.

This issue went so far as the American president reacted. In August 2017, President Trump announced that he would announce a national emergency on the drug drug epidemic. But experts and followers did not adequately consider this trump action and saying that it did not have much effect on preventing and controlling the crisis, and acknowledged that tens of billions of budgets should be considered in the coming years in order to cope with the crisis, The lucrative market for these drugs is said to be. It should be noted that according to the 2016 study, the amount of sales of these drugs is estimated at $ 78.5 billion, which is the economic burden of prescriptive drugs. "The crisis at the national level of 300 million Americans will not be lost by a billion dollars," says Casey Humphrey, a Stanford drug policy expert.

Far from kidding, USA's corrupt governors who care more about the income of opium/drug trade than women and children are hurting humanity.

The sources say kids before being born are getting addicted to drugs/opiums when pregnant mothers use them for addiction reasons.

USA's governance system should be labeled as an organized terrorism with a global scale that is hurting humanity all around the world.

With 2.8 million users now, Iran media says drug addict numbers have doubled in six years

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2...ddict-numbers-doubled-six-years/#.WiqFeKJOn7o

June 25, 2017 TEHRAN – The number of drug addicts in Iran has more than doubled in six years, with opium the country’s most popular narcotic, local media reported Sunday.

“There are about 2.8 million people regularly consuming drugs” in the country of 80 million people, Drug Control Organization spokesman Parviz Afshar told ISNA news agency.

Citing experts from the Health Ministry, the nation’s Welfare Organization and his own agency, Afshar said the number of drug users is up from 1.3 million six years ago.

He said opium makes up 67 percent of consumption, with marijuana and its derivatives accounting for 12 percent and methamphetamine around 8 percent of the total.

“Opium is still the most popular (drug) and methamphetamine use has dropped significantly,” he said.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK FOR MOST DRUG-ADDICTED COUNTRIES

https://www.blvdcenters.org/blog/top-8-drug-addicted-countries


TOP 8 COUNTRIES CONSUMING ILLEGAL DRUGS: THE LIST
The international consensus ranks the following 8 as the most addicted countries in the world:

  1. Iran- Heroin, 14.32% Per Capita
Between its extremely oppressive government and the strict prohibitions of Islam against drug use, seeing Iran at the top of the list is quite a surprise. And the country’s drug of choice? Opiates. Iran’s strategic location in the Persian Gulf makes it an important transshipment point for Southwest Asian heroin on its way to European markets. But, heroin is not the only problem in Iran. Drugs are also pouring into the country from neighboring Afghanistan, mainly opium. According to the CIA World Fact Book, Though Iran suffers one of the highest opiate addiction rates in the world, it also has an increasing problem with synthetic drugs. Also, the Islamic Republic regularly enforces the death penalty for drug offenses. A lack of adequate funding allocated to the fight against drugs is also a major problem in Iran. For instance, the United Nations Drug Office 4-year budget for the embattled country amounts to only $13 million. On the positive side, though, Iranian border controls has stiffened in recent years making more difficult for drug smugglers and crime syndicates to bring drugs to Iran, reducing, mainly, the supply of heroin.

lol, Antidote.

@mohammad45 , there is no question that there is a major drug problem in the US, between illegal drugs and prescription drugs and what they're now calling "the opioid crisis."

But if you look at it in the context of where the US stands, imagine how much further it would be than it already is if it had a 0 drug problem? That must be a scary thought. Every country has a drug problem, it's an inevitable evil.

The truth is that despite the problem being a serious concern, the overwhelming majority of Americans are successful, hard working and living the American dream beyond expectation. The result is glaringly obvious in that despite all its shortcomings, America is highly likely the most sought after country for immigrants and tourists and I don't think anyone can argue the position the US holds on the world stage.

Nice try dude. Iran is systematically/governmentally fighting against opiums and illegal drug trade, though being a neighbor of Taliban and their American brothers has it's consequences.

In the fight against drugs, Iran pays the cost of establishing a world peace and security
139408041345372076386944.jpg

On the other hand, Americans are being born while they are addicted to drugs and opiums.

Nothing to be happy of, your government has made US a pariah state. USA is a wasteland of a nation.

Sir, i was talking about the systematic drug/opium deal of American governors, it's a proven fact that CIA is working with Taliban and transfers their produced opiums into US and other poor peoples' lands.

The guy jumped in and tried to troll my nation.

The whole CIA involvement is a pretty complex political/covert/overt operation that requires a lot of dissecting. I know what you're referring to and listen, I agree with you that drug addiction, drug usage and what therapists are calling 'drug dependency' or 'substance abuse' in the United States is a major problem and it has increased through the decades. But it still needs to be put into context and measured against the entire picture. By reading an OP like on this thread, it's easy to think that what is being suggested is that there is a majority of Americans who are abusing drugs of some form, but that's not the case.

Also note the mention of anti-biotics lopped into the drug use list. This is a growing problem not only in the US but also in many parts of the world as a physician’s “quick fix” when patients complain about being sick. Even WHO wrote an article a few months ago that this quick fix is going to lead to superbugs.

Bizarre. Antibiotics are life-saving medications. All the life-threatening or crippling infections that are cured with antibiotics; doesn't make sense to include them with narcotic-based drugs.

America is one of the most severe epidemics of drug use. As a matter of fact, Trump is looking for a state of emergency to address this issue.

The high pressures of modern societies have caused many people in these societies to experience mental and neurological problems. People to escape the tensions of this type of lifestyle, turned to doctors. In every community, depending on the treatment process, they try to cure these people. The community and the US doctrine have also made it the best way to tackle the problem (Using analgesics for patients), and they're putting these people in the same way as prescribing drug therapies. In order to get acquainted with the epidemic of drug administration in the United States, we first need to get to know the types of drugs.

Oxycodone : An antipyretic drug that is used to reduce moderate to severe pains. It is sometimes used alone or in combination with other analgesics such as acetaminophen.

Opioid : The natural and chemical substance set is similar to morphine or opioid substances that attach to neoplastic opioid receptors in synapses. The function of all of them in the body is similar to that of the analgesic neurotransmitters (endorphins), which, by effecting the central nervous system, relieves pain in the body. It should be noted that acetaminophen is used to relieve common pain and severe pain. This drug contains a pain medication (hydrocodone) and non-opiate substance (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone affects the brain to change your body's feelings and pain response. Acetaminophen can also reduce fever.

Hydrocodone : An analgesic that acts to relieve pain on the central nervous system. If hydrorodone is used for a long time, it may cause physical and psychological dependence on the individual. Hydroquiding is used to treat severe pain. This drug belongs to a group called opioid analgesics and affects the central nervous system and relieves pain.

Vicodin : It is a drug containing a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. It is commonly seen as a capsule and usually prescribed for patients who can not tolerate chronic and severe pain. This drug usually creates a strong sense of happiness in a person continuously for a long time. Also, the mind and body reciprocally soothe and thus relieve the particular. This drug is essentially classified under a specific category of drugs called pain medication.

opiate : Including drugs, including opiate drugs, are special for codeine and can sometimes be used to treat migraine pain when people can not take triptans or ergot. Nervoccans are addictive and often only recommended as the last resort.

United States and the sinkhole of prescribed addictive drugs :

The United States, as the country where the epidemic of misuse of prescription drugs has reached a critical level, holds 80% of the world's total repository of drugs, and people in the country spend more than 110 different types of opioids annually. This amount is enough to give 64 pills percocets or Vicodin to any American person. This is while the amount of prescription drugs over the last ten years has increased by 600% using painkillers.

More than 100 million Americans suffered chronic pain, according to the Medicare Institute's 2011 report. Americans consume more than 80% of the world's produced analgesics, according to a US Congressional report, endorsed by the mediator community of doctors. In the same vein, Pharmacist Howard Levine, in an interview with the BBC, stated: "We have become an indifferent and depressed community."

In the same vein, in 2016, the former chairman of the Food and Drug Administration accused the United States of overdose of medications that led to an increased epidemic. David Kessler, who presided over the Food and Drug Administration from 1990 to 1997, stated: "This (overdose of medication) has been one of the biggest medical mistakes of modern medicine." He also in conversation With the BBC added , 78 people they daily due to overdose. ::::

"This is a real United States of America, it's an American disease. Inappropriate promotion of narcotic drugs has contributed significantly to this learning, and the reason is that pharmaceutical companies only describe some of the drug's properties and make it non-addictive. "

Also, one of the American General Surgeons stated:
"In most countries, the use of prescriptive opioid drugs is limited due to the complications for individuals and their health, but in the United States, each person can have a glass of pill or some of it."

He also added:

"The major misuse of opiate drugs comes from writing illegal copies."


Looking at the statistics on drug use and anti-depressant drugs, the mortality and morbidity of using them can be examined both statistically and in the eyes of the relevant experts and organizations.

Crimes of prescription drug use :

The US police report increasing the number of theft and other crimes by people who are addicted to oxycodone or hydrocodone, which is the key ingredient in opiate drug .
One of the indications of the effects of these drugs on individuals is reported by Daily Mail in 2012. A 28-year-old man in Florida, shook his daughter , a 9-year-old girl , for the excessive effect of prescription drugs until his daughter died.

According to the BBC, the number of people who use analgesics has increased by 600 times and the number of crimes that have been reported by addicted people has increased.

Externally prescribed prescription
The 4 billion prescription written in 2011 was the news release released by the Life Science Foundation in the summer of 2012. According to a new process published in the Journal of Cystic Neuroscience, 4.02 billion copies were issued in 2011, indicating a relative increase compared to 2010, amounting to 3. 99 billion this year.

2037331.jpg

In an interview with CNBC, Irina Kaufler, Senior Processor and Pharmaceutical Specialist, commented:
"300 million copies of analgesic remedies were written in 2015. This medication is worth $ 24 billion in sales, and this market is not evenly distributed around the world. The sheer consumption of analgesic opiate drugs in the United States, which accounts for only 5% of the world's population, shows that there is a profound difference between rich countries and the rest of the world when talking about prescription drug treatments. "

In another study published by the National Security Council, almost 99% of physicians prescribed over-the-counter (3 days a month) prescription drugs and one quarter of them wrote copies for a full month, and so these drugs Are overdose.

In 2010, the Food and Drug Organization Panel suggested that health assessments of analgesics be developed, and trainers should be trained again. But the curriculum has been voluntary for the past four years and the organization's statistics show that less than half of the doctors are targeted for education. It should be noted that at present 1.5 million doctors in the United States are licensed for the administration of analgesics.

In a study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic and published in the Mayo Clinical Journal, it has been shown that 7 out of 10 Americans have used opiate drugs at least once. The most commonly used prescription drugs in the United States are 17% of antibiotics, followed by 13% of antidepressants and drug drugs.

Dr. Jennifer Saur, a member of the Mayo population health program and researcher of the study, says: "Often when talking about the health status, we talk about conditions for chronic diseases such as heart disease or diabetes. While the second common prescription is antidepressant drugs, showing that mental health is a very important issue to focus on. It is also the third most commonly used drug due to its addictive nature, which is alarming. "
"When the number of prescriptions rises, deaths are also rising," said Thomas Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Overdose of prescription opioids has become widespread in the United States.
2037330.jpg

The annual growth trend is in the United States from 2013 to 2022. These figures indicate an annual increase in these figures in the American medical system.


Vikesh Singh, Ph.D. Assistant Professor and Head of Research Center at Hopkins University, says:
If you consider taking medication in North America and Western Europe, it is estimated that 95% of these drugs (opiate analgesics) are in these two regions, while the rest of the world consumes only 5% of these drugs.

Mortality rates due to overdose of opiate prescription drugs :
The Daily Mail reported that the use of these drugs led to the death of 14,800 people annually, which is more than deaths from cocaine and heroin.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 28,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2014. Surprisingly, these deaths account for 60 percent of all deaths from drug overdoses in the United States this year. A report published by the same facility revealed that the deaths from drug overdose reached a new figure of 47.055 in 2014. Though drugs, which are one of the most powerful painkillers, require a doctor's dossier, of which more than 60% of the deaths were due to them.

The overdose of prescription drug use has steadily risen to nearly 19,000 in the United States for more than a decade in 2014, up from 2014, and the total drug overdoses (non-prescription drugs that are unauthorically consumed by people) Has been exceeded by 28,000.
All analgesics are a subgroup of drugs, but antidepressants have the highest risk of addiction. A large number of Americans die every year due to excessive use of pain medications.

Overdozes have reached the level that people who died in the United States due to drug overdose in 2016, more than a number of people killed in the Vietnam War. It is estimated that between 59,000 and 65,000 people have died due to overdose in 2016.

Prevalence of consumption in different ages, especially children and women

The State Audit Office has reported that roughly a third of American children use at least one psychiatric drug. American children also use these medications three times more than antidepressants compared to their European peers.
In addition, according to a research conducted by the National Drug Abuse Institution, it has been shown that 15 percent of high school students have used prescription drugs inaccurately.
The rate of antidepressant use among American women is higher than in other countries.
In 2007, in the United States, 2.5 million people used prescription analgesics for the first time, while in the same year 2.1 million people used marijuana for the first time. Non-medical use in American high schools grew 12 percent this year.
Another study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the prevalence of prescription drug use among people aged 20 years and older was 59% in 2012. At the same time, the percentage of people who use five or more of the five prescription drugs has risen from 8% to 15%.
Also, according to a report by the medical group, the use of opioids for psychiatric care varies from one age to another. For example, nearly 21% of white adults use medical drugs and 9% of indigenous Latin Americans use antidepressants, as well as a quarter People between 60 and 85 years of age use at least one of the three commonly used psychiatric drugs, while less than 10% of people aged 18-39 years use this medication.

The results in a study in the United States show that a child is born with symptoms of drug addiction every hour. The Guardian reported a threefold increase in the number of children born with addiction symptoms between 2000 and 2009, and the number of mothers who tested positive for their opiate addiction has tripled.

The following tables are derived from the 2013 data extraction from the AMS database, the largest medical presenter:

The volume of the sales market

Americans spent $ 35 billion on OxyContin, widely known as Haley Billy Heroin since its release in 1996 to today. This medication is a pain reliever with a gentle release rate that can relieve pain for several hours. According to new AMS data, Americans spent 4.3 billion copies worth $ 374 billion for drug use in 2014. According to statistics, since 2011, Americans have had the highest levels of consumption in 2014, up 13% year-over-year.

Moving from drug-based analgesics to heroin use :
Many Americans go to heroin soon after they start taking illicit drugs, because it is cheaper and easier to access. The United States now faces an epidemic of heroin use. In fact, the number of Americans who died due to the overdose of heroin quadrupled from 2000 to 2013. For this reason, the US government was forced to cope with the crisis and approved a bill allocating more than $ 1 billion for the next year to combat the crisis.
The JAMA Center in a 2014 study found that analgesics' users are becoming heroin users, and in an analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2015, people who are addicted to prescription analgesics 40 times more likely to have heroin addiction.
Surprisingly, people in different age groups who have used prescription analgesics in the United States are 19 times more likely to be taking heroin than those of the same age group who started taking heroin.

This issue went so far as the American president reacted. In August 2017, President Trump announced that he would announce a national emergency on the drug drug epidemic. But experts and followers did not adequately consider this trump action and saying that it did not have much effect on preventing and controlling the crisis, and acknowledged that tens of billions of budgets should be considered in the coming years in order to cope with the crisis, The lucrative market for these drugs is said to be. It should be noted that according to the 2016 study, the amount of sales of these drugs is estimated at $ 78.5 billion, which is the economic burden of prescriptive drugs. "The crisis at the national level of 300 million Americans will not be lost by a billion dollars," says Casey Humphrey, a Stanford drug policy expert.
