Illicit Drugs on Campus Are Increasingly the Rx Variety

Here’s something that frankly, disturbed me. My daughter, who just finished her freshman year in college, recently told me, “I can’t believe how many kids at school take prescription drugs on a regular basis. They take Adderall to help them study, Ambien to get to sleep and Xanax to calm down.” It surprised me that at 18 she even knew all the names of these drugs. Had she said that her fellow students were using marijuana or even ecstasy I wouldn’t have been as shocked. Those are the kinds of drugs you expect to find–along with copious amounts of alcohol–on college campuses.
