The head of an Island drug charity says she's concerned at the number of cases of young people misusing prescription medication which isn't theirs.
Shelly Stanley of the Drug Advice Service and Helpline says it's also prevalent among adults.
Yesterday police announced a 16-year-old girl from Peel had been hospitalised as a result of taking prescription drugs.
Ms Stanley says taking drugs which aren't meant for you is a dangerous game:
