- Using Internet search engines and e-mail advertisements, researchers discovered that of the 187 Internet sites found to be selling controlled prescription drugs during this period, 157 (84%) did not require any prescription. Of these sites, 52 (33%) clearly stated that no prescription was needed, 83 (53%) offered an online consultation and 22 (14%) made no mention of a prescription.
- In 2008, Vermont experienced 10.9 prescription drug overdose deaths per 100,000 people.
- While a person who abuses prescription drugs expects specific effects to take place they may not anticipate the side effects of the drug they have taken. If they take OxyContin they know it will stop any pain and create a sense of euphoria. They may not factor in that it also causes extreme drowsiness and slows their breathing; possibility to the point of death.
