Samini
Samini has urged the Food & Drugs Authority (FDA) to be keen on the current intake of unprescribed cough mixtures and pain killers among the youth in the country.
The youth are resorting to the use of pain killers such as Tramadol and other cough-related drugs with codeine to get ‘high’.
The situation has killed hundreds, with others losing their memory since they take the drugs in overdose.
Speaking to Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Samini alleged that drug abuse is claiming precious lives, hence the need to check the act.
According to him, even though there have been several documentaries and programmes to educate children and the youth on the dangers of drugs, government needs to do more to eradicate such abuses.
“That’s a crazy thing happening right now among the youth. We have been hearing this since we were kids. This is like a clear picture. It was like a myth but now we are seeing kids buy and mix things up…,” he told Andy Dosty.
“I know people who looked healthy but now look older due to the effect of the drugs. Before they could come close but they can’t anymore… Don’t drink or take drugs when you know very well you are not sick. It has no benefits to your health,” he advised the youth.
