That’s %3.03 of total US drug deaths. (According to the Journal of the American Medical Association’s statistics, March 2004.)

Today’s drug laws aren’t protecting us. After all they exist to protect politicians - they need drug laws to look tough because they’re allied with the real crooks. (Their corporate donors.)

In february 2008, Reuters announced 22,000 Americans died just from one legal drug:

“22,000 lives could have been saved if Trasylol had been taken off the market”

Those guys are buying vacation homes - they’re rewarded for tricking people into believing their drugs were safe. But who’s jailed? Backyard gardeners.

After all, what could be easier for the government than taking the big drug dealer’s money? Jailing the small drug dealers.

Other actual causes of death were microbial agents (75,000), toxic agents (55,000), motor vehicle crashes (43,000), incidents involving firearms (29,000), sexual behaviors (20,000), and illicit use of drugs (17,000).”
