[QUOTE="JMom, post: 755155, member: 19892"] I think it is a combo of the drug companies offering incentives for docs to hand out pills and kids (and adults) are getting those prescriptions out of people's medicine cabinets. Every time I have an ache or pain, the doctor is offering up hydrocodone. I never accept it. Someone once said the US is the only country that advertises drugs to ask your doctor about (not sure if that is true). They are heavily marketed here. One last thought, there are parents like myself who unknowingly enabled their children rather than allowing natural consequences. I know in my case that certainly didn't help my son. I can't say if it would have made a difference if I would've done things differently, but I feel responsible in part. [/QUOTE]
