Cannabis use booms on campusesBy Chen Hung-hui 陳宏煇On Aug. 27, the Executive Yuan announced that it would make cannabis the main target in the government’s fight against drugs and adopt three major strategies to tackle it. Cannabis users are by no means few in number. Many of them have high social status or returned to Taiwan after studying overseas, and most of them started smoking cannabis while at university. One day, after a student society event, he and his friends went to his rented apartment to smoke cannabis; the student later died.
