The U.S. population is about 4.2% of the global population and the U.S. consumes around 80% of the global opioid supply and consumes approximately 8% of the world's prescription drugs and 45% of global pharmaceutical sales revenue.

Many people think of illicit street drugs when they think of people dying from drugs and that is understandable but what people often overlook is the prescription drug epidemic that has claimed 80,000-85,000 lives in 2025, according to CDC projections. These statistics reveal a healthcare system overly reliant on pharmaceuticals to manage chronic adult-onset diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
