TOO LENIENT ON CELEBS
LONDON (Reuters) -- Prosecutors worldwide are too lenient on
celebrities who use drugs, sending a dangerous message to young
people, the United Nations says in its global report on illegal
narcotics trends.
The UN International Narcotics Control Board said overall drug usage
appeared stable, but soaring opium production in Afghanistan was
fuelling heroin use in its neighbours and globally.
