Prescription drugs (PDs).
PDs are easily accessible in parents’ medicine cabinets and are very dangerous. A few pills can cause seizures and death, depending on the medications.
Marijuana is not known to have ever killed a human being, and the studies linking marijuana smoking to cancer is dubious at best.
