Conduct an internet search on the most commonly abused prescription drugs.
Select one specific prescription drug to focus your attention. This CAN NOT be an
Opioid. (Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug herion, synthetic
opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such
as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine and others.)

Briefly discuss the history of the selected drug. Discuss the social factors that
might contribute to the prescription drug abuse and its effects. What are your
suggestions for prevention?
