CNN: A 700 percent increase in Heath Ledger disease.
Deaths from medication mistakes at home, such as actor Heath Ledger’s accidental overdose, rose dramatically during the past two decades, an analysis of U.S. death certificates finds.
The authors blame soaring home use of prescription painkillers and other potent drugs, which 25 years ago were given mainly inside hospitals.
The next president will sign some sort of healthcare reform. It should include something to fight our addiction to pharmaceuticals. Prescription drugs are worse than street drugs in many cases. If nothing else, shouldn’t we speak out against rich, white guys getting high with a doctor’s blessing, while everyone else gets arrested for it?
Smoke a joint and think about it.

Stooks, I doubt you were too “affected” if you were up at 2:30 AM posting this rather astute observation … shame on you for not being more like Heath.
I knew I’d catch shit for the time of this post. And I had a feeling it’d be you calling me out on it. Nice work.
