Even though teenage drinking and teenage smoking have reported declines the truth is that teens are still getting high. How they are getting high I want to blame on the obese talk show host RUSH LIMBAUGH.
Since the Florida district attorney has allowed him to plea down from the illegal possession of prescription drugs there has been a boon of teens using their parents’ stash of OxyContin and other assorted prescription pills. Why? Because it doesn’t appear to be illegal. You don’t have to score your fix inside a darkened alleyway like those other people. Prescription pills are delivered over the counter and there is no stigma attached to that even if you receive say, 2,000 pills in a 6 month period like RUSH did.
In the meantime, the end result is that there is a generation of drug dependent young people who can’t work to pay down the federal deficit or help the social security system retain its solvency.
Somebody pass me the dutchie.
