Give Kids More Insight Instead Of Just Say No To Drugs

The guy who wouldn’t think of using cocaine or methamphetamines might readily pop an excess of pain pills to gain relief from a legitimate condition. Remember the case of the radio show host who became addicted to pain pills, to the tune of 60 per day? We live in a drug culture here in the U.S. Virtually every kid can look in the parent’s medicine cabinet and find a flock of bottles from the pharmacy. These same kids watch television ads, hawking pharmaceuticals to the public at large, for conditions ranging from heartburn to fibromyalgia. These ads invite you to ask your doctor if you should be taking this preparation.
