Warning: This Drug May Kill You was EXCELLENT!! It should be mandatory viewing for all parents and children of a certain age.
I would use words like chilling and scary to describe what I saw. And if you think it can't happen to you or your family you are sadly mistaken.
Opioid addiction has become a scourge in this country. It's reaching pandemic proportions and it cuts across all demographics in society.
As someone who has lived through multiple replacement surgeries (both hips, my left knee and my right knee later this year) and who has been prescribed Opioid pain killers after these surgeries I know how easy it is to become dependent on them.
And as an aging athlete suffering chronic pain it would be so simple to use Opioids as a daily crutch.
As the parent of a 12 year old boy I am especially concerned about this horrific problem.
Director Perri Peltz dramatically illustrates how families are impacted by this addiction problem.
It's scary and touching at the same time and if you are a parent and you aren't moved by seeing this there is something wrong.
Time to empty your medicine cabinet.
This doc was a great public service and should be seen by everyone.
