Impact of paracetamol pack size restrictions on poisoning from paracetamol in England and Wales: an observational study
There are probably less than 30 deaths linked to MDMA or Ecstasy - which in many cases today is not MDMA but cut with other more harmful drugs for reasons relating to the fact it is illegal!
Also people do become alcoholics and can attack and kill relatives, rob relatives and that is with a legal drug - alcohol. Gambling is legal and likewise people do crimes to support gambling habits.  |
And where did I say that paracetamol did not kill people?
It has long been the drug of choice for committing suicide...it is easily available, and cheap. It might not kill right away, but it does kill.
What I actually said was 'people do not commit a felony in order to get paracetamol'....there is a difference.
All drugs(even over the counter ones) have risks attached to them.
