This calls for the concerted efforts of the security agencies, parents, teachers, religious and other leaders, rights activists and the administration to stem the grave threat of narcotics to the nation. The war against drug trafficking and abuse must be stepped up to protect the society, especially the youth. These are the drug traffickers, who are so obsessed with the illicit gains from this deadly business that they do not care about the pain and agony they inflict on the victims and their families. The result is that some have been left in a vegetative state, their lives wrecked almost beyond repair. Nacada, other State agencies and the Judiciary deserve kudos for waging a relentless war against substance abuse.
