The issue of drug abuse continues to pose a significant threat to global health and well-being, impacting millions of people worldwide. To raise awareness about the devastating consequences of drug use, the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking will be observed on June 26th. This annual campaign emphasizes the need for evidence-based policies rooted in science, human rights, compassion, and knowledge to address the effects of drug use on society, the economy, and human health.
