Winnipeg students say marijuana is still the most common and easily accessible drug among young people, but more high school students are raiding medicine cabinets to get high.

On Monday, CTV News talked to high school students across Winnipeg. CTV asked what drugs a student can buy at a school, and the typical answer involved students being able to access a range of drugs on school property.

"Weed, Percocets, pretty much anything that can get you high," said one high school student.

For those venturing out to parties without parental supervision, the stakes can be even higher. Several students told CTV about pharma parties that have taken place in the city.

"[It’s] when you all bring pills and they go in a bucket, and then you just take," said another high school student.

Winnipeg police say the investigation into the death of Cooper Nemeth is believed to be drug related.

Across neighborhoods, students reported a wide range of prescription medications and chemicals found in cabinets at home, and used by their peers.

Drugs like, Xanax, Percocet, Codeine, Lorazepam, cough syrup, even cleaning products.

Students across the city told CTV if some types of drugs are not available at school, they turn to social media. Teens say drug deals are often organized over Facebook and Instagram. Some accounts even advertise what types of drugs are available.

Sheri Fandrey is an addictions and pharmacology expert. She said teenagers feel safer taking prescription drugs because they are legal, when in fact the risks are real and dangerous.

“Something like Xanax in the short term can make you very impaired, especially if you are mixing it with something like alcohol it can impair your memory,” said Fandrey. “There are a pile of things that can happen, but the young person is focused on now, and the immediate benefit.”

One 17-year-old student said she tried a drug called ‘Molly’, and doesn’t want to do it again. She said she stood outside in the winter wearing only a shirt and sweating.

"Couldn't control myself,” she said. “I felt really shaky and dizzy, and I wanted to sleep, but scared if I fell asleep, I wouldn’t be taken care of.”

The student said she looks forward to graduating and staying drug free, and hopes others make healthy and safe choices.
