Children in the Volta Region are becoming addicted to cannabis. This is according to the National Council on Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention.
The council reports that producers are mixing cannabis into toffees and soft drinks. These products are then marketed to children.
Some children are as young as ten years old. They are reportedly becoming severely addicted to the substance.
The diversification of cannabis consumption methods is making it harder to control. The National Council on Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention is concerned about this trend.
This situation poses a significant risk to the health and well-being of young people in the region.
The council is calling for urgent action to address this growing problem.
