The Volta region’s minister, alongside members of the regional house of chiefs, has voiced serious concerns over the alarming rise in marijuana farming within the area.
This surge in cultivation has sparked fears about the potential consequences for the local community, particularly as it relates to escalating drug abuse among residents.
The authorities are becoming increasingly worried that if left unchecked, the trend could spiral out of control, leading to serious public health and safety issues. The regional minister emphasized the need for a collective approach to address the situation, advocating for community engagement and awareness programs that could inform the public about the dangers of drug use and its broader implications.
In a meeting held to discuss the pressing issue, the minister and the chiefs highlighted how the proliferation of marijuana farming not only jeopardizes the social fabric of the region but also threatens the future of the youth. The authorities are determined to implement measures to combat this emergent challenge and safeguard the wellbeing of the community.
Together, they are calling on citizens to consider the long-term impact of marijuana farming and drug abuse, urging everyone to work collaboratively to restore safety and promote healthier alternatives for livelihoods in the Volta region.
