Prescription Drugs Found Online, Abused by Teens
A Columbia University study has shown that prescription drugs can be easily bought on the Internet, while another study by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America indicates that many teens are abusing them.
Columbia University's five-year study, which has been documented annually in a report called "You've Got Drugs! Prescription Drug Pushers on the Internet," was conducted by Columbia staff members over a period of 210 hours in the first quarter of every year.
