LOS ANGELES — The summer before 14-year-old Alexander Neville would have entered high school, he sat both of his parents down at the kitchen table in their Aliso Viejo home and told them he'd been taking Oxycontin pills he bought on Snapchat.
He had self-medicated with pot in the past, but this was different.
"It has a hold on me, and I don't know why," he told them in 2020.
