300 pills a year doesn’t seem too bad.

That is less than 1 a day.

Don’t get me wrong I agree with you in general, I just think the numbers are weird

I do believe it's something like 300 per resident of the US per year, not specific residents with prescriptions. Just illustrating quantities, in other words.

Actually, I believe it might be worse than that, but I'm not looking it up, just tried to clarify.
