Being a teen myself I know what its like to be pressured into doing drugs.
Most teens use drugs because they are depressed or they are being pressured into doing stuff they wouldn't do normally.
Drugs are expensive and how some teens get the money for them are never good.
Usually if a teen is doing drugs their attitude changes and they start hanging out with a different cliques.
Selling themselves. Robbing banks or even selling are some of the ways they get money for it.
Drugs they use in hospitals are abused sometimes in some cases while prescription medicines are too except it's easier to get them. You can find prescription medicines anywhere. In your medicine cabnints and over the counter. Teens love the feel of the high. Like its carefree and stuff is good. But most of the crimes committed in the USA are caused by drugs. People will go for anything to get them.
Murder. Robbing. Theft. You can name a lot. Like I said most teens do it because they are pressured or they want to commit suicide.
Most parents can't get their teens to stop after they've started because they are addicted. And most need help to stop. Parents should try to stop it before it gets started.
