Roxanol "new" Recreational Drug


Roxanol has just become the "new" fun pill for some East Tennessee areas. These kids have started taking 30 mg pills that have recently become available to them. They are calling them "Roxies". I can't believe how dangerous this is! Is there anyone else in TN where this is becoming an issue or is it already?

It's morphine... and that's been a problem at every place I've worked, as long as I've worked. I haven't actually heard the term "Roxies" though.
