The most commonly abused prescription drugs, I think, are pain relievers, depressants and stimulants. The site links I’ve included are really helpful. Good luck with your research and don’t hesitate to ask if you have other questions.

Well Oxycotton also can be known as oxycodone they have 40, 80 Mg that people just love. There is Meth people make that themselves using a meth lab made from stuff you can usually by at a pharmacy. There is Crack cocaine which Is not that common anymore. More then anything its the painkillers. I know because the area I used to live in and people I used to know. Just inform people It really does destroy entire lifes that are not replaceble ive seen in front of my own eyes. Its not a game or something to play with.
