The Volta Regional House of Chiefs (VRHC) has expressed concern over the increasing cultivation of marijuana across the region, particularly the growing involvement of the youth, following the approval of a specific strain of marijuana for medicinal use.
The chiefs warned that the situation, if not urgently addressed, could jeopardise the future of the youth.
Reports reaching the House indicate a sharp rise in drug abuse among young people, including students, prompting calls for swift security intervention.
President of the House, Togbe Tepre Hodo, raised the alarm during the VRHC's first general meeting of the year, held in Ho last Friday.
