Do you think prescription drug abuse is a problem in public junior high and high schools?
“It could be. Sometimes they are prescribed drugs like Tylenol 3 with codeine or others that they can sell or give away at school. I think if they are prescribed drugs and they are under 18, their parents need to keep track of them.”
— Shaju Ahmed, U.S. Army, Lawrence
“Yeah. I think drugs like Adderall and Ritalin are overprescribed. I think it would help if the regulations on refills were more strict.”
— Megan Weatherly, Kansas University graduate student, Kansas City, Kan.
“I would be really shocked if it was a problem. It just seems like junior high and high school is awfully young for a student to have a problem with them.”
— Cherry Mastro, data entry, Tonganoxie
“No. I haven't heard too much about it. Of course I don't have any kids either.”
— Mitchell Near, operations manager, Lawrence
