Drugs now the number one killer

Drugs, not traffic accidents, are now the biggest cause of death in the United States. This post points out that "What's really scary is we don't know a lot about how to reduce prescription deaths." A young friend of mine where I work gives me a report each week on how he is doing. He told me yesterday that he has not smoked marijuana in two weeks, and also cut back on another drug. He just comes up to me and blurts out his progress or lack thereof. Maybe he suspects I am praying for him. He has a great personality, and if drugs win the battle for his mind and soul, it will be a tragic loss.
