Otc Drug Persuasive Speech

In every sport, there has always been a desire to win. Some athletes will do anything to make winning possible. Every elite athlete wants to be better than their opponent. Some rely on performance enhancing drugs, also known as PED’s, to improve their game. This topic is very important because it can be the difference between winning and losing. Winning can mean money, fame and a place in history. I believe athletes should not use PED’s in sports because it is an unfair advantage, health risk, bad role modeling, bad sportsmanship, and results in tainted records and awards.

The next step is dropping the death count. This could come in the form of the drug Narcan. Narcan is a drug that is to be administered (often in the form of a nasal spray) to a patient suffering from an opioid overdose. Infact according to Senator Kirk, “we are now seeing a 100 percent success rates from the lifesaving drug Narcan” (Kirk launches suburban anti-heroin task force 1 death every 3 days on average since 2012; using narcan during an overdose was 100% effective in Dupage County, States News Service). This drug has proven itself to be a saving grace to those who have abused heroin however according to Dr. Hamburg “FDA approval for intranasal naloxone [Narcan] may be another eight years away. Following current trends, an eight-year delay would result in another 1043 lives lost in Chicago's suburbs” (Kirk launches suburban anti-heroin task force 1 death every 3 days on

Thank you for contacting me about the Opioid Epidemic which is plaguing our nation. I appreciate hearing your concerns on this heartbreaking problem. I believe that it is not an exaggeration to emphasize the horrendous problem that opioids are bringing. In 1980, when Ronald Reagan was in Office, the United States experienced 10,000 drug related deaths due to overdose.

First Main Point: Last month president Trump declared the opioid epidemic a public health emergency (Merica, 2017). This goes to show that the opioid problem is a huge deal in the United States and it should be treated so.

Have you ever thought about doing drugs? If so you're not the first, but you probably didn't think about how it could affect you and your life. In 2016 63,600 people didn’t think of the consequences and ended up dying from overdosing in the United States. 42,249 deaths involved an opioid. Opioids are drugs made to replicate opium. They both include legal painkillers like morphine, oxycodone, or hydrocodone prescribed by doctors. The problem with opioids has been growing for years and its growing with each year. The misuse of and addiction of opioids is a serious national crisis. It effects public health as well as social and economic welfare.

Opioid pain medicines are strong medicines that are used to treat serious pain. Only take these medicines while you are working with a doctor. You should only take them for short amounts of time.

What are opioids? Opioids are a drug that heads to the nervous system of the body to relive an individual from pain. an example of an opioid would be morphine. Inviduals can get addicted to opioids (morphine and other pain relievers) and start frequently using them.

Opioids, a knock off version of meth which is prescribed by doctors, are known for being addictive and have become a major issue in Ontario, especially in cities like Thamesville and Chatham-Kent. With a little population and no promising economy, the only businesses that seem to be prospering are the medical treatment centers. Like much of Ontario, these cities have also seen a rise in misuse of prescription opioids; it is the fourth most commonly used drug. These drugs are prescribed in large bulks of 100 to even seven hundred doses at once instead of smaller doses to see how a person does with it. When people had these large doses at hand they started selling it to make money. This caused teenagers to start using opioids. When the government

Whether you have been diagnosed with epilepsy recently, or it is something you have suffered with your whole life, the idea of seizures preventing you from getting or keeping your driver’s license might be discouraging. If you are in this position, you might be wondering just how long you have to wait until you can get your license. While the general rule is that you must be seizure-free for a specific period of time and get a physical examination, the amount of time you have between your latest seizure and when you can drive again depends upon the state.

                   Have you ever had any trouble breathing in your life? No? Well consider yourself lucky. Breathing is an essential thing to life. You don’t breathe, you don’t live. That’s just the way it is. When you breathe in, the lungs take that oxygen and release the carbon dioxide as a waste product into the atmosphere. This is what keeps the body regulated and gets the metabolism going. The process of aspiration is an ongoing phenomenon. Everyone is constantly breathing in and out because our lungs can only take in so much oxygen. We constantly breathe more and more to live.

Attention getter statement: Toothpaste: We use toothpaste to brush our teeth everyday (hopefully). We here in America love to have white teeth and from the time we are very young, we are told by our parents and our dentists that we need to brush twice daily with fluoride in order to prevent cavities. But what if I told you that toothpaste was poisonous?

Most Healthy people won’t want this implant because it would probably involve a doctor opening your skull to place this device. In today age, the people who would probably use this if they have a serious medical condition that could help them with the use of it. Society could benefit from this because it allows anyone to connect to anyone in the world. But at the moment Phones can do all this and are much cheaper to have then having surgery to have implant put in. In the future it would probably be much cheaper to have this done. One problem that can arise from this is if governments and companies start to take over these implants the power they would have over people would be too great. Access to your own brain and thoughts and location could

My aunt struggles with an addiction to prescription drugs after being prescribed pain medication for endometriosis for over 3 years. She found ways to continue to get these drugs 2 years after the doctors stop prescribing it too her. I don’t understand the disease and yet it is so common, so I am bringing you information that I have researched in the hopes that you all may understand it better as well.

It’s only natural to head straight for your medicine cabinet when you feel a headache coming on, but did you know that you’re actually putting yourself in danger by relying on painkillers every time you have a migraine or eye fatigue? Overconsumption of painkillers can - and almost always does - lead to the body developing a tolerance to them, which makes your regular dosage ineffective, meaning you have to increase the number of painkillers you take to get rid of your headache. This, in turn, can cause you to develop an addiction to painkillers, something that about 10% of Americans are believed to suffer from.
