Well, that’s an interesting subject.
You could also do a presentation on Oxycontin abuse, since it is so widespread and has led to major societal impacts, especially in some small towns. We tend to forget that people can get addicted to prescription drugs as well as “street” drugs – look at Rush Limbaugh.
Or, you could talk about the epidemic of cough syrup abuse and addiction that seems to be sweeping entire schools lately, though I fear you will find less evidence and news stories on this.
Good luck!

Do your report on meth and tooth decay. I just saw a documentary on “meth mouth”…OMG, if anything will keep you from doing meth….THAT will. There was a dentist that traveled to prisons to extract the teeth of meth users…he was extracting 200 teeth per week!
