That would be the most insanely stupid thing I have heard in my entire life.
Many youths do not even know the first thing about the pills they are taking 9 time out of 10, but scooping up assortments of pills is just a bad idea through and through. Especially when the recreational they are seeking such as generic Viccoden (hydrocodone) looks so similar to a slew of other pills.
Even more frightening is the pills these youngsters are taking, Xanax (alprozolam) is thought to be a harmless anti-depressant to many while in reality it is a powerful tranquilizer that can cause blackouts in less that 10mg as well as serious addiction complications that are in some ways worse than cocaine or alcohol withdrawals. Or Oxycontin (oxycodone) a highly powerful opiate that has enormous addiction potential (the equivalent of heroin addiction).
Guess how much these pills would set a kid back on the street? Xanax (2mg) $5 a piece, Viccoden (5/500 mg hydrocodone/APAP) $3 a piece, Oxycontin (20mg) $10 a piece. What are the chances that your kid could that into his/her allowance.
