Prescription drugs are deadly when they are abused. If these kids just used marijuana, they would still be alive. Legalize it and save our children!

yeah yeah this might seem sad , but the truth is that all of these people would have been alive if they knew what they were taking and at what doses. A little time of research is all you need. It is so simple all you have to do is type in the numners and letters on the pill on google and it will tell what exacly it is. It is their fault they died. Harsh truth but true.

I received my brothers autopsy report a month ago and found he overdosed on 15mg of methadone combined with alcohol. I agree with the statements indcating they should have research/googled the drug and I was angry at him for not doing this but he just wanted to get high not knowing the concious of the drug. My son is 15 yrs old,

the tips help because I did not know about pill parties, I am glad to be aware of this before I have to face another idiotic death.

I've been abusing scripts for 4 years and i've never once heard of a pill party. Just another scare tactic.

@NJDrive9 There is a fine line between drug use and wrong drug use. No matter what the substance it must be regulated by the individual if you are to survive it. These people took doses of opiates that blocked enough receptores to cause cardiac or resperatory arrest. Every person is subject to the same set of rules the game has been the same for thousands of years but in the end the weak will die to make room for the strong and smart drug user.

@laetrille they didnt die because they took the wrong doses you moron. They overdosed trying to get high. Cmon dont be naive

@catsrul1234---the song played in this "videoclip" is:

"I Will Remember You", by Sarah McLachlan.

@Zebragod420 Great point--the parents might have a prescription "habit"--or occasionally "dabbling into the pills problem or desire sort--problem, too. The parents might have them prescribed for a once legitimate temporary (or prolonged need), yet get refills or other perscriptions for more than they need. The parents might be setting a poor example and not be aware---or definitely not "fessing up" and taking ANY blame or responsibility! Fascists! "Thumbs up" on your comment!

@soamazingishine --This can be a part of the situation--needing love, and better parents. But some people still get hooked on drugs--including prescription opioids--regardless of how they are raised and how much they are loved, or perceived to be loved, by their parents or family. "Thumbs up" on your comment.
