Report : "A Study Of The Misuse Of Drugs Among Secondary School Children In The State Of Penang And Selangor.

Abstract

Drugs in a non-medical setting, used to alter mood, perception or consciousness are the topic of the present report: the report and the study upon which it is based reflect a widespread feeling in society that the use of such drugs is in itself a cause for concern, that the presumed increase in such use by young people heightens this concern~ but that response to drug usage which is ill informed is unlikely to achieve desirable ends.
