> In this thread, the poster "A Tetherball From Bouganville" is talking about selling her Rx meds at school.
Antidepressants, no less!
I have a friend whose father is a doctor and who went to high school in the '70s. He used to raid the supplies at his father's office. Not antidepressants or benzos -- stuff like Dilaudid, Quaalude, Seconal, etc.
> Now, maybe I'm getting old and crotchety. I graduated from high school in '83, and sure, plenty of drugs went around, but I don't think kids even got Rx meds back then (high school kids, I mean.) Also notable to me is the way kids don't even know what the meds are or what they are for.
Jeez. I started taking Prozac in 1990, my junior year in high school. I knew a few kids who were taking things like Ritalin or lithium (Prozac was pretty new at the time), but it wasn't a common thing. By the time my sister was in high school (she's 6 years younger), though, there were lots of kids taking psych meds.

So what is it with you and grapes, anyway? Not that I have anything against grapes. Some of my best friends are grapes. :-)
