we're prescribing 259 million prescriptions for opioids every year — that's one for every adult American

"Our culture has gotten to a culture of excess, where we're prescribing 259 million prescriptions for opioids every year — that's one for every adult American. We are 5 percent of the world's population, but 80 percent of the world's opioid prescriptions. There's a bigger issue of culture that has to change."
— Dr. Leana Wen, Baltimore's health commissioner, in an interview with The Daily Record.
