We the people... are heavily medicated.
Well over the majority of the population takes at least one rx drug, and I think I saw at least 40% of the US population is on 3 prescribed drugs. Big pharmaceutical is your suburban, middle class and up drug pusher. Not to discount their actual beneficial uses, it's just our society is lazy, overworked, or what not and taking a pill seems to be the preferred solution. Lack of access to therapy, and behavior modification due to insurance steep decline in coverage for mental health as well as state and federal funding for these programs has driven the use of prescription drugs way up since the 80's.
Plus, people like to use it recreationally.
