Marijuana smoking

Letters

Our country’s young, smart and energetic men and women have been smoking marijuana believing it to be like ordinary cigarettes, not realising that in doing so they are hurting themselves.
It is common knowledge that in every community in PNG marijuana is consumed daily by young people, leading to the increasing and alarming rise in the number of people experiencing mental illness.
Can the Government take the marijuana issue seriously and work with the provincial and LLG governments to address it before more people become unwell?
It is the responsibility of the government and its agencies to educate young people to understand that the smoking marijuana has bad side effects.
