Why are Americans, unique among the world, so dependent on mood altering substances to function? I do not mean just alcohol (the only people who outdrink Americans are Brits), or even typical "hard" or "street" drugs, but drugs of all type. The US population equates cannabis to "freedom" and is the world's greatest per capita consumer of this product. The US permits codeine to be sold OTC where in most countries you need a prescription. The medications that we force feed to livestock is just obscene. This country needs a detox.
hmmm
