GRAPEVINE, TEXAS – U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions argued the country should renew its war on drugs after revealing that more people than ever are dying from both illegal and prescription drug abuse.
“Based on preliminary data, nearly 60,000 Americans lost their lives to drug overdoses last year. That will be the highest drug death toll and the fastest increase in the death toll in American history. And every day, more than 5,000 Americans abuse painkillers for the first time,” said Sessions.
