The unstable economy is putting a lot of street drug dealers out of business. Unfortunately, many young people are now turning to home medicine cabinets to get high. Parents are urged to keep close watch on all medications, but what happens when a teen goes away to college?
Buying and selling drugs in a college dorm is as easy as visiting the neighbors down the hall. Legal drugs can be purchased from the local pharmacy, a convenience store, or grocery store. Think you can trust your college student to resist drug abuse as he transitions from home to the freedom of a college campus? Think again.
Prescription Drugs and OTC Medications are Dangerous Substances
There is a misconception among young people and even some parents that legal drugs are harmless because the medications are openly sold to the public or are prescribed by a physician. Any medication taken in excess or used for a purpose other than which it was intended is dangerous. Prescription medicine can cause serious harm or even death when abused. Misuse of OTC drugs can be harmful or fatal, too.
