Thank you very much am grateful.
@princesshope, you're on point when you say👇
If the government should ban the producers, I think, that will definitely put a stop to such non-sense. But, since they themselves can't live without it, how then do we think they will say stop to the producers? Nothing but futility!

Schools and families should educate their children on drug abuse.
You know our schools is lacking a lot of things to teach. Government should include it in the school subject.
Yes I think you are right ma because such topic usually come once in awhile in the scheme of work so teachers don't put much effort in it.
You're on point ma @ijelady. I think this topic should be in line with sex education because, drug abuse leads to immorality. Maybe, during PTA meeting, you parents should voice out.
Yes dear,it is advisible that schools and government should address people on the consequences of drug abuse as any one found doing it should be punished.
Hahaha, let's stop dreaming!!!. Who bans who, and who punishes who? Does it not sound crazy? Is our government themselves not the initiator of drug abuse. Let's fight it by ourselves
Insincerity on the part of government is a major contributor to the drug abuse. The laws are often don't enforced or selectively done.
The laws are there to deter both peddlers and consumers of these unwholesome products, but you are only punished if you do not buy your freedom with money, both from the law enforcement agencies and the judiciary respectively.
Some youths in our society today are so addicted to drugs and have finally destroyed their future.
Schools should always teach children about drug abuse and it's dangers at a very tender age. This will help them stay away from it even when they are being pressured by friends.

Thank you very much the correction has been made.
Drug abuse has killed and kept many in a pitiable condition. I pray government should be very strict on drug addicts.
Drugs abuse is widely cause indeed by those peer pressure who so much deepening into . The use of drugs for their personal purposes rather than , what is being meant for . Lacking sense on the formal consequences drugs addiction can brought about.
