【明報專訊】As pointed out by the Narcotics Division of the Security Bureau, drug abuse has a detrimental effect on health. It leads to problems such as derangement or hallucinations that could last for days, while some drug abusers could even suffer from unconsciousness, loss of memory or even death. Figures from the Action Committee Against Narcotics show that the overall number of drug users as reported in December 2019 fell by nearly 20 percent from the same period in the previous year, but there was a constant increase in the number of marijuana users.
