NACOC warns youth against cannabis myths, says it can impair memory and decision-making

The Director-General of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), Major General Maxwell Obuba Mantey, has cautioned young people against misconceptions about cannabis, stressing that its plant-based origin does not make it harmless.

The National Youth Conference provided a platform for young people from across the country to engage with NACOC on drug-related issues and challenge misconceptions surrounding narcotic substances.

The NACOC Director-General urged young people to critically assess claims about drugs and rely on credible scientific information before making decisions about substance use.
