There are so many attention grabbing ways of beginning this post…
- Millions of parents deal drugs to their kids
- 44% of teens have friends who abuse drugs
- An increase in free drugs
- Kids are stealing their parents drugs stashes
- 200M pounds of drugs left in the open for kids to find
- 10 deaths per 100,000 people from drugs

The Medicine Abuse Project (at www.drugfree.org) is trying to get this word out and find a way to change this. The basic points of their messaging:
- Safeguard your medications…lock them up and throw extra ones away.
- Talk to your kids about drugs and the risk of abusing legal and illegal drugs.
