Rising Drug Abuse in Pakistan
This incident highlights the rising issue of drug abuse in Pakistan, particularly the increasing use of Ice, also known as crystal methamphetamine. Crystal meth is a highly addictive stimulant that has devastating effects on individuals and society. Its usage has been particularly prevalent among the younger generation, who are attracted to its ability to enhance energy, alertness, and confidence.
