ROCKVILLE, Md. - Marylandian -- Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker, proposes a pre-school educational effort by parents to discuss the fact that anyone can make deadly pills and to avoid being pressured by classmates and others to take any pills because one pill can kill.

ROCKVILLE, MD. August 19, 2019: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled, "A Cottage Industry That Kills," in which Dr. Rosa talks about the ease with which anyone can get their hands on a pill press.

Dr. Rosa writes, "For the most part when you hear the term 'cottage industry' you think of baked goods or other homemade items being sold at farmer's markets or nowadays online." He continues adding, "Unfortunately there is a new and much more lucrative cottage industry that has popped up and it's a real killer."

As Dr. Rosa points out, "Pill presses are readily available over the Internet for well under $500. Instructions on how to assemble and use these presses are also available online."

Dr. Rosa encourages, "With school starting soon, please talk to your children about not being peer-pressured into taking any kind of pills. Educating your children to the deadly nature of opioids in general and pills from unknown sources could save your child's life."
