Honestly asking the question as to whether there are more and more people who are putting their future livelihoods or current ones at risk by doing illegal drugs? There have always been people doing this of course but it seems that there are more and more people on this forum alone who are asking how to get out of drug testing, how to get an employer to ignore positive results and how to get back into or stay in nursing school because they were caught doing exactly what they weren't supposed to be doing to get or keep those precious positions. It isn't news that it is illegal, but it really seems to be news to many of the people discussing it that they might be caught. I don't understand that.
Anyone who does illegal drugs knows they are illegal, as they didn't go to RiteAid and pick them up in the candy aisle.
So is it that more people are willing to do it more often anyway, consequences be darned, or is it maybe that the internet is seen as someplace so anonymous or private or whatever that they are more noticeable than before? What's really up with all these new conversations asking about illegal drug use????
If that is referring to increased death rates if I remember correctly they were linking some to prescription drugs but I don't fully remember so I'm not going to try to support that theory. It's just a fun fact and drugs come in all shapes and forms and it certainly isn't mentioned to justify how drugs are classified but it is how it goes. It doesn't make the stat any different. If you would like you can look into alcohol related deaths and identify any trends you may see. I certainly would find it interesting.
