Abstract

Results are reported of a survey testing the knowledge that 561 young adults have regarding the use and effects of various over- the- counter, prescription, and social (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine) drug products. The misinformation in certain areas that respondents demonstrated led to the conclusion that they were at risk and therefore, Caveat emptor (Let the buyer beware), as a viable perspective regarding the purchase and consumption of legal drugs was untenable.
