Red Ribbon Fact
Do you know which type of drug has caused the majority (60%) of overdoses? It’s not heroine, meth, or cocaine…it’s actually prescription drugs. Because they are prescribed by a doctor, prescription drugs don’t carry the negative stigma that illegal street drugs often do, but they are just as powerful. When students abuse these drugs to get high, they put themselves at risk for addiction and other adverse health effects.
