Why Are There So Many Pre-Adult Questions About Prescription Drug and Drug Abuse?
Question by GK: Why are there so many pre-adult questions about prescription drug and drug abuse?
I see at least half a dozen questions a day from various categories from the pre-adult (teen, young adult) where they have taken or just got their hands on something like Adderall/Ritalin and think it is OK, to put this in their system without a doctors Rx. Some times, the have overdosed and are asking about the symptoms. Another half dozen are asking to see if they are going to pass a drug test tomorrow with agent X in their body. It just astounds me that this group thinks it is perfectly fine to ingest medicine not prescribed to them. Am I being to anal about what not to take?
LTD: Don’t get me started about that category too! I know what you mean girlfriend!
midnightmoon62: Thank you for such a helpful and shocking response. I would never have guessed that a kid would even think about taking such lethal (to them) medication.

Answer by CJ
I think it’s awful, and the RX drugs is just the tip of the iceberg with young people these days.
I also don’t think anyone (young or old) should take anything if it’s not prescribed to them, and they should take it properly.
