The United States of Advertising
Pharmaceutical Advertising on TV
How many drugs do we allow to be advertised on television? Well, there is alcohol. That is a big driver of revenue for the networks (especially sporting events). In 1971 the last cigarette ad was run on television. And since all of the other drugs were outlawed long before television was invented we never experienced cocaine or opium or marijuana. Remember, "the whole point of them is that it is not considered safe to let us simply buy them over the counter."
Do you wake up in the morning tired? Are you tired before you go to bed? Do you have hunger? Do you sometimes get stressed out by life's real issues? Do I get drugs now doctor?
