On the street those pills can be spencive. As much as 80 each. So increasingly kids are turning to a cheaper, more powerful alternative heroin. A bag can cost as little as 10.

Reporter john reached that point long before the night of july 23, 2012. He had been arrested twice and been in and out of rehab. But he had been clean for a few weeks.

Reporter the researcher says this drug should be widely available over the counter. I want to make sure that no more people die. Our goal is to reduce overdose to 0 in ten years.
