Looking for a fix. Teens on teen drug abuse

Description

With no lack of people willing to cash in on smuggling drugs into the U.S., reducing user demand is the key to unraveling America's drug problem. In this ABC News program, three recovering teenage substance abusers candidly reflect on their experiences with drugs. Topics include how they deceived their parents for years at a time, stole money from family and friends to pay for their habits, "graduated" from marijuana to harder drugs, and saw friends get killed in drug-related violence. They identify an attitude of parental denial as a contributing factor to their delinquency, but also admit that ultimately the choices they made were their own.
