In Hue City, there are about 935 drug addicts and illegal drug users, of which more than 300 are addicts, the rest are users. The drug crime situation continues to be complicated: in the first 6 months of 2025 alone, the authorities discovered 120 cases with 254 subjects, an increase of 18 cases and 42 subjects compared to the same period last year.
Worryingly, there is still a subjective mentality among a segment of young people who believe that synthetic drugs are just stimulants that cause immediate excitement, are not addictive, and do not affect health. This distorted perception leads to illegal behavior and unpredictable consequences for individuals, families, and society.
