A drug expert told parents  on Wednesday night that prescription drugs are the biggest threat to teens and young adults today.

Ted Nietzke spoke to a group of Port Washington parents about the dangers of drugs.

He said social media is glorifying drug use and making it seem like kids will be okay if they use them. Something some parents don't realize.

Parents were told to talk to their kids about the dangerous effects of drugs.
