Youths' drug of choice? Prescription - Los Angeles Times

This is really interesting to me. So many people have loads of drugs in their medicine cabinets - including me at times - but now our kids don't want to do those "hippie drugs." They go after the easy high, just like we did when we were kids.

Take that, "war on drugs." What are we going to do with this? It seems like I can't leave a doctor's office without a prescription for narcotics, and anybody who goes to a mental health professional will more likely than not walk away with a prescription for anti-depressants. We are a nation addicted, and until we deal with "why" we are getting high, the means of getting there will always sink to the easiest method. Unfortunately for our kids, the pusher is in their own homes now...
