Say Hello to Addiction

In a world where an alarming number of people rely more on drugs than Sunday church for strength to carry on their complex lives, my blog will serve as a database that examines, stores and creates a basic awareness of the addiction to legal, prescribed drugs. Drug addiction is not all about rebellious teenagers and their desperation to scrounge up green bills for buying their daily fix of crack, it penetrates much deeper than that. “Drugs” not only includes doses of illegal substances that need to be smuggled into the country, concealed cleverly in drug paraphernalia and sold in dodgy neighbourhoods, by dodgy people at even dodgier prices, it also includes perfectly legal, over-the-counter medication prescribed by our very own trusted GP’s. And since it is in man’s nature to be tempted, what was first prescribed for assisting him in carrying on with his life slowly becomes his life. At this stage he has finally said 'Hello' to Addiction.
Thus, I hope that through my postings, I will be able to unmask this hidden endemic and help eradicate the very disease that society gave birth to. Please feel free to leave comments :-)

Hello its fran from your course,

thought you may be interested its oldish news but nonetheless relevant. My blog is on Pharmaceutical company Glaxo. If you look on my page down the side there are a list of the prescription drugs they provide one being called Paxil/Seroxat which as you may know a widely spread anti depressent. If you click it it will take you to a link about the scandal the drug caused mainly as panorama revealed it was highly addictive and led to self harm and suicide.

Thought it may come in handy for your site. When I get a chance i'll put a link up for your site on my page as its quite relevent in some respects.
