Encomium
Drugs and lethal alcohol are commonplace in Nigeria as many young adults have easy access to these illicit substances.
From codeine to cannabis, cocaine to crack and more, drugs are everywhere. What’s more, drinks with high alcohol contents and cocktails spiked with ‘mood changers’ are ubiquitous.
Many young adults can easily become addicts. But how can parents know when their children and wards are experimenting with psychotic substances?
