Probably way more than we think.

that all depends on what is considered "drugs" and i would say probably around 60 to 70% rely on some form of a drug, i know i rely on a few, alcohol being the front runner.

this article is pretty disturbing, but does it surprise me? no. it's just a shame when people like my grandmother are having trouble affording their health care because of the lack of social security which she depends on(even though she works part time). while other people collect unemployment while sitting on their couch surfing the internet "looking" for a job, or taking their wellfare/unemployment checks and going to the mall. it just seems like everyone is looking for the easy way out any more, instead of sacking up and taking care of their own bussiness.
