Millions of young abusing cough medicine..!!
About 3.1 million people between the ages of 12-25 have used cough and cold medicine to get high, the government reported Wednesday.More than 5% of teenagers and young adults had misused cough and cold medicines and indicated that these people also had experimented frequently with illicit drugs.Nearly 82% also had used marijuana. Slightly less than half also used inhalants or hallucinogens, such as LSD or Ecstasy. I think that the government might make stores stop selling over the counter medicine if people don't get this under control.

Isn't it a sad thing that our world is coming to this? I bet our grandparents would have never imagined that teenagers would abuse such things. I think it is a very sad thing that kids have to turn to abusing cough medicine to get through the day !
All I have to say is that no one should do that, but how are you gonna stop it, I mean stealing is illeagal, but people get away with it. Great job no our reputations kids, thanks.
