Peer pressure is one of the top reasons for drug use among youth in Zimbabwe.

Be a leader, not a follower.

@InfoMinZW YADSA agrees that addressing the welfare of soldiers & police is essential in curbing drug abuse. By combining border control with education, prevention, & rehabilitation we can build a resilient, drug-free ZW. Together for a Drug-Free ZW✊.

Incidents of people taking their lives due to mental health problems are on an increase.The weight can be heavy but alcohol and drug abuse are not the solution. We should create healthy relationships where people can easily share their sorrows and worries.

[Youth Against Drug & Substance Abuse - YADSAzw @YADSAzim]

Decriminalization, drug education & provision of rehabilitation services should be aligned with legislation.

A society free from the adverse effects of drug & substance abuse is possible.

Drug and Substance abuse statistics are high in Epworth Constituency, I will push and support motions in Parliament to deal with this. In the constituency I'm also working on empowerment projects for the youths, to keep them busy. Tichengetedze vana vedu, saving our future!

As we commemorate #WorldAIDSDay, we urge governments to review policies and implement measures that reduce HIV infections especially amongst people who use drugs #evidencebasedtreatment #harmreduction #decriminalizedrugs #drugpolicy

[Youth Against Drug & Substance Abuse - YADSAzw @YADSAzim]

Youths who drink or do drugs are more likely to partake in risky sexual behaviors than their non-using peers.

They are more likely to have sex at younger ages & to have it with multiple partners.

Drug education is key in the fight against HIV infections.

@RealMabites @AnitaJaxson Job creation, vocational training etc will definitely go a long way in empowering the youth. However there is also drug abuse on the affluent side of our society were poverty is not a push factor. We can't ignore that sad truth...

[Aaron Forrester @RUNFORRESTERUN]

Portugal is a great example of the effects of decriminalizing drugs. The solution is rehabilitation and drug education. Not only will this help the mass incarceration problem but could save many lives. #SUsocialwork

2)Mental health is real! Our youth are headed for disaster. If this social ill continues to be ignored then we are doomed. How many people can you name from your area that are high daily on something? There is no hope for the youth. What are the solutions?

[Anita Jaxson @AnitaJaxson]

1)Zimbabweans need mass counselling! Zimbabweans are not OK! We need a week whereby everyone gets free counselling. Take a look around you,what do you see?Majority of Zimbabweans are depressed. Many have anxiety and our suicide rate is high.Many are on drugs,even home made drugs
