TIME: Half of Americans are totally on drugs

A new story from TIME magazine reports that half of all Americans are now on drugs. The same report also found that Americans spend more per capita buying drugs than any other nation which provides data. (Of course, the places where people are *really* high are the same ones that aren't exactly keeping records).

This kind of bender does take its toll, though:

"The only way I can do it and keep my sanity ... is I use pill boxes" to organize pills for each morning and night, said Walker, 57, a full-time nurse at an HIV clinic.

But different folks take other strategies. For example, Mrs Walker's husband just takes lines of drugs right off his bureau.

I never do anything that routinely that I'm ever able to take pills/meds at timed or regular intervals.....I just mean antibiotics for example, on occaision I've reluctantly had to go get some.

It's weird if you do, cause it's like your life becomes anchored around taking meds, and then you have to eat at the exact same times every day too and plan your food eating like an hour before or after meds.

But yeah, geez try eating proper food and not living or working in some un-natural shitty environment if you can, then you're way less likely to ever need any meds.
Take some sun, breathe fresh real air, don't drink tap water. Eat some fresh food everyday that hasn't been grown with chemical fertilisers.
I know that if I did what most people do in terms of food, I'd be either dead already or very chronically ill. No doubt.

It turns out they meant something else by "lines of drugs off his bureau." They really meant lined-up prescription drugs, on-label.
