Catholic Bishops urge stronger action against tramadol, marijuana abuse

“You should not concentrate only on drugs like cocaine, which is used, but not as massively as marijuana, tramadol, ‘Red’ and other similar drugs that are readily available on the shelves, and young people just go for it,” he stated.

He said the national response must recognise the scale of abuse of substances that are readily available to young people.

The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference has called for stronger measures to address the widespread use and abuse of tramadol, marijuana and other readily accessible drugs in the country.
