Does Anybody Have Any Drug Abuse Statistics About Jamaica?
Question by Adam B: Does anybody have any drug abuse statistics about Jamaica?
I am writing up a study for my class about different cultures between my home in the UK and Jamaica, and whilst it has been relatively easy to find information closer to home, I can not find one single statistic for Jamaica that relates to drug ABUSE. I know about the attitudes of Jamaicans towards drugs but I don’t have any official or non official statistics about it
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

It doesn’t give you an exact stat, as it is described to be “impossible to ever find out,” due to such large drug-usage rate.
You can expect it to be very muh higher.

@CoderTuts hey man that’s cool, made this 5 years ago, i would never had guessed it would be helpful now. cheers man and best of luck with your project?
I don’t know, it depends on the person.. One of my friends had? severe psychosis after smoking weed.. I guess it depends on your biological, psychological etc. factors. But I wouldn’t say that it’s risk free though.
Sure, this video shocked me, especially THE heroin part, but i don’t think that weed should be in here. Drugs destroy you, i agree, but weed isnt that much of à big deal! But? maybe this is my opinion because I’m Dutch.
actually, you really can.? sugar and caffeine create those same chemical imbalances that you are talking about, though not quite to the extent that drugs would
You can not compare food to? drugs that creates chemical umbalances to your brain and nervous system. You loose self control because drugs take control over you, you don’t control the drugs you use, they control you
.? until you have lost everything, your health, your self-steem, your family and friends, and most important of all RESPECT FOR YOURSELF. I have seen friends gone forever because at one point they have believe in the same false image that you have about drugs. why wasting your life away when you can do so much? I respect your opinion but beleive me using drugs DOES NOT WORTH IT. I bet you have never seen a person who has been using drugs in their last stageof life.
thats? not really true. have you ever eaten an oreo and then put the bag back? its called self control.
The only way you? don’t get addicted is by NOT EVEN TRYING DRUGS.
