Warning: This Drug May Kill You

THE GIST: A damning look at the devastating effects of addiction to opioid painkillers, whose consumption often starts as legitimate prescription drugs, that has ended up decimating the US population.

Warning: This Drug May Kill You is a really good documentary that should be shown in every school, to teach people when they're still young about the dangers of taking what one might think are regular pain killers, often prescribed by a doctor.

It's really heartbreaking to witness how people with regular lives and no inclination for taking recreational drugs ended up addicted or dead after an illness or injury.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Naturally, I recommend this to anyone, not just in the US, since opioids are used all over the world. A real wake-up call.
