Hong Kong:The Commissioner of Police, Raymond Siu on Saturday (18th of November, 2023) warned that the decriminalisation of some drugs overseas meant some young people were less vigilant and underestimated the consequences of drug use.
The Commissioner who spoke at the opening of a two-day anti-drug exhibition titled “Love Our Life - LOL Party 2023”, at the West Kowloon Cultural District was missioned to enlighten the public about the dangers in using drugs, especially young ones.
He said the harm of drugs on society was beyond doubt, not only causing irreversible health damage but also destroying young people’s future and their families.
But he also said that he was being encouraged by a drop in the rate of offences committed by young ones in the city concerning drug use in the first three quarters of this year. He said the result revealed the
effectiveness of anti-drug publicity and education work over the past year by the authority.
He added that the number of young people under 21 years arrested for serious drug offences was 130 and that is the lowest in ten years.
The programs arranged for this weekend's exhibition include talks from former drug users and will include activities such as rope skipping performances, fitness sessions, and music.
香港警方開展禁毒教育展覽
香港：警務處處長蕭偉文週六（2023 年 11 月 18 日）警告說，海外一些毒品非刑事化意味著一些年輕人警惕性降低，低估了吸毒的後果。
禁毒專員在西九文化區為期兩天的「愛我們的生活－LOL Party 2023」禁毒展覽開幕式上致辭，其任務是向公眾，特別是青少年，宣傳吸毒的危險。
他表示，毒品對社會的危害是無庸置疑的，不僅造成不可逆轉的健康損害，也毀掉青少年的未來和家庭。
但他也表示，今年前三季該市青少年吸毒犯罪率的下降令他感到鼓舞。 他說，結果揭示了
一年來當局禁毒宣傳教育工作成效。
他補充說，因嚴重毒品犯罪被捕的21歲以下青少年人數為130人，這是十年來的最低水準。
本週末展覽安排的節目包括前吸毒者的講座，並將包括跳繩表演、健身課程和音樂等活動。
