Parents in Lusaka have bemoaned the rampant drug abuse among young people in the country.
And the parents have wondered why some prohibited drugs that are believed to be administered on mental patients are finding their way on the streets.
Mrs Winfridah Chileshe, a resident of Chunga Township lamented that youths in the area are now adding some substances to the commonly abused drug Marijuana, and are resorting to vandalizing property both at home and in public places.
Mrs Chileshe has since called on health authorities to put in place stringent measures that will curb the abuse of these restricted drugs from health institutions by youths.
Another resident only identified as Maureen also complained that young people are absconding School lessons and are harassing innocent members of the public with abusive language among other bad vices due to drug abuse.
