Big-Pharma has got to go. The name of the game is money while good people suffer tremendous damage from these drugs and the whole of society suffers. This was an excellent post.  https://media.giphy.com/media/jPoMKzGb4oVZS/giphy.gif

I disagree with that. However practices like this should be put to an end.

So what about the opioid epidemic and all of the horrible side effects from antidepressants, yes many drugs are vital to certain conditions, but there is a huge problem destroying society and doctors and big pharma are directly responsible. Nature has already found better cures but this conflicts with profits

Pharma isnt prescribing the medications.

> Nature has already found better cures but this conflicts with profits

Depends on what you are trying to treat. Statements like the one you made there are misleading at best, and generally false. Many pharmaceuticals are natural compounds, or derived from those compounds.

You have to realize I am a pharmaceutical research scientist (at the moment). I am quite critical of pharma's faults and I don't mind pointing them out. However there are many good pharma companies out there, and the drugs that these companies produce in many cases save an awful lot of lives.
