I Need an Idea for a Presentation in My Drugs and Addiction Class?

Question by ima45limabean: I need an idea for a presentation in my drugs and addiction class?
I have to give a 10 to 15 minute presentation in one of my addiction study classes called “Drugs and Addictions” Any ideas??? Anyone?? I was going to do it on meth babies but Im just not sure.

Best answer:

Answer by Wide Awake
Well, that’s an interesting subject.

You could also do a presentation on Oxycontin abuse, since it is so widespread and has led to major societal impacts, especially in some small towns. We tend to forget that people can get addicted to prescription drugs as well as “street” drugs – look at Rush Limbaugh.

Or, you could talk about the epidemic of cough syrup abuse and addiction that seems to be sweeping entire schools lately, though I fear you will find less evidence and news stories on this.

Good luck!
