"Today’s teens are more likely to have abused prescription medications than a variety of other drugs, including cocaine, LSD, methampetamine and heroin, according to a 2005 study conducted by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. That study found that one in five teens had experimented with painkillers to get high

It’s also getting worse. The 2006 Monitoring the Future survey, a study done annually to monitor drug use among eighth-, 10th- and 12th-graders, showed a trend that local law enforcement officials confirm — abuse of prescription drugs has doubled since 2002."

I would agree with this.
