While the government continues its scare tactics about marijuana, they don't seem to care as much about the real problem, abuse of prescription drugs.Not only are adults abusing prescription medications (ask Rush Limbaugh), but so are their kids.
One of the up and coming drugs for teens is Fentanyl. It's a powerful narcotic pain killer. 100 times more potent than morphine. Its' intended use is for cancer patients for whom morphine does not work. It's meant to be used as a skin patch, which releases small amounts of the drug in the body over a long period of time.
But, guess what? Kids are getting their hands on it. And they're using it. And they're dying from it.
Kind of makes reefer seem kind of benign doesn't it?
