Résumé : | When Eric, an 18-year-old who lives in San Francisco, wants to get some Vicodin (hydrocodone-acetaminophen), it's a simple matter. "I can get prescription drugs from different places and don't ever have to see a doctor," he explained. "I have friends whose parents are pill addicts, and we 'borrow' from them. Other times I have friends who have ailments who get lots of pills and sell them for cheap. As long as prescription pills are taken right, they're much safer than street drugs." [Extract] |
