Prescription Drug Abuse
By admin | January 21, 2007
So, prescription drug abuse is when someone changes the prescription for 10 Oxycontin to 100 Oxycontin, right? Yeah, that’s one form of it. But, how about this? “ChexÃ’ Mix” parties.
No, not the “ChexÃ’ Mix” with pretzels, ChexÃ’ cereal, peanuts, etc. etc. This party features prescription AND non-prescription medicine that teenagers have lifted from the family medicine cabinet (or grandma’s purse, as is sometimes the unfortunate case). The purloined pills are then poured into a bowl, then everyone takes a handful and swallows them down, sometimes with alcohol.
Yeah, this is what is happening in some homes today. Kids tell their parents, “I’m going to a party It’s just gonna be a bunch of kids hanging out, listening to music, dancing, you know, the usual. Sure, her parents will be there.”
(And, they are, maybe. In the basement or in their bedroom or wherever in the house that the party isn’t. But, in an effort to keep things “cool”, they never show their faces the whole time.)
A few hours later, someone gets very, very sick. In an effort to keep things “on the down-low”, the sickee is loaded into a car and sneaked into his or her own little bed, and no one is the wiser. Until said sickee/sneakee winds up at the hospital because Mom and Dad couldn’t get him or her to wake up the next morning.
Yeah, that’s scary. The solution? Keep all medicines, especially those with abuse potential, out of reach of everyone BUT the person they’re intended for. And, parents, STOP BEING SO “COOL” AND BE PARENTS! Know your kids’ friends and their friends’ parents, and don’t be afraid to do some checking up on your own.
