In 1996, the FDA approved and endorsed Perdue Pharmaceutical’s new drug, "Oxycontin" as a non-addictive pain reliever.
Since 1996, the CDC reported 841,000 drug overdose deaths nationwide.
In the 12 months ending in April of 2021, over 103,000 Americans died from a drug overdose.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention tells us that Americans 50 years old and younger are more likely to die of a drug overdose than any other cause.
Do you ever wonder why teenagers and even pre-teens now...
