A community discussion of drug related dangers facing young Pennsylvanians.

Heroin has undergone a resurrection. A powerful opioid that was once only the scourge of inner cities is now widely available, cheap and being abused in the middle class suburbs and even the most rural areas of Pennsylvania. But heroin isn't the only story. In fact, prescription medications are abused more often. This is a WITF community forum discussion on the topic of Drugs and Young People.
