Youth Boost Demand At Consumer End Of International Drug Pipeline

In Brighton, a resort town in the south of England, a new youth drug culture is flourishing. The Sussex Police Drug Squad treat drug dealers as criminals but are lenient on first time drug users. Young people in Brighton describe how easily available illegal drugs are on the market. The YMCA has set up an after-school programme for teenage drug abusers in an effort to steer them away from this destructive habit. These issues will be addressed at a special session of the United Nations devoted to drugs in June.
