Are pharmecutical companies really any different than drug dealers?

Question

Before you say that they have nothing in common, think about how many ads there are in magazines and on T.V. passinately encouraging people to turn to drugs as a solution to all of life's problems.

Answer 1

The pharms are the drug cartels, and the docs are the dealers. Hospitals are distributers, drug stores are the traffickers. Insurance company's run the protection racket. School teachers are pushers. (If you don't believe that, find out how many kids are on ADD and ADHD drugs. Unbelievable.) Yes, they are different from drug dealers in one respect. We don't usually trust drug dealers, and so the amount of damage they can inflict is limited.

Answer 2

Yes, but only by degree.
they force the population to believe that such drugs are truly medicine, when in fact they are almost completely the same as illegal drugs.
Some people do testify that such drugs help them out mentally, but NONE of the drugs actually HEAL. they are more like pain killers.
some drugs do operate as a healing factor, i have no disagreement with these types.

READ the books on saratontin re uptake inhibitors, the # 1 book which i know of is written by Dr Ann Blake tracey. She testifies that ALL drugs have SEVERE or Adverse reactions.
Honest people have gone crazy by just taking 1 pill, others become like the columbine murderers.

i was taught that pharmecutical is the same work of pharmekia, which is another name for the old language of sorcery and witchcraft(s). There are 9 different definitions of what witchcraft is that can be found in the bible, yet NONE of THEM are what the wine of fornication is. See rev 18:23

Answer 3

Only the companies that produce drugs to help people with high health complications. Other than that you look in magazines and on the Tv pharmecutical companies coming out with new types of drugs for almost anything (restless leg syndrom) pushing consumers to buy these drugs instead of seeking natural atlernative methods. Any unnatural substance one puts in their body can have bad effects long term and/or short term.

Answer 4

There is a level of truth, in my opinion, of your statement. Differences being that most phara companies don't resort to violence and death.

For people who are suffering from seriously life threatening conditions (i.e. multiple sclerosis, cancer, AIDS, epileptic, asthma and so on) phamecutical companies do provide them with the ability to continue living life. I would hope that you do keep in mind people who face these situations and not include them in such sweeping statements, nor condemn an entire profession who provides them (hell - include me in that 'them') with the ability to keep living.

But it's the public who give them - phara companies and drug dealers their powers. People want a pill to solve everything and they are willing to buy into these ads and promises without the thought. A big section of the public has come to believe that they must be happy and thin and beautiful and energizied and young all the time. It's a dangerous delusion - but who is to blame?

The companies who provide the drugs? Or the people who demand their creation?

Answer 5

In Canada this same type of advertising is not permitted in the Canadian media. This uniquely American-made problem is just that, and not an issue in this country. I doubt Britiain permits this sort of advertising either.

I wonder if a diabetic person dependent upon daily insulin shots would agree with you, however, when you paint pharmaceutical companies with the same brush as you do drug dealers?

Answer 6

I think they are very alike, the only real different is, most drug dealers sell stuff that grows and is illegal, and the pharmaceuticals sell man made chemicals that are legal.

Answer 7

Most definatly. They are nothing more than legalized drug pushers.

Answer 8

Yeah, they make more money.
