Tramadol & Codeine Fast Killing The Youth – Samini Informs Authorities

Tramadol is a narcotic-like pain reliever. It is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Studies have shown that, tramadol can slow or stop your breathing, and may be habit-forming or other person using the medicine without a prescription.

 

However, the abuse of the drug is getting out of hand among men. Some individuals mix the drug with energy drinks and other alcoholic beverages or take them raw as sexual enhancers.

 

There have been reported cases of deaths among some young people who have abused the drug. It’s in this light that Dancehall act, Samini, has urged the Food and Drugs Authority to be keen on the current intake of tramadol as well as codeine particularly amongst the youth.

 

Speaking to Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Samini indicated that drug abuse was claiming precious lives hence the need to check the act.

According to Samini, even though there have been several documentaries and educative programs to lead kids and the youth away from drugs, government needs to do more to eradicate such abuses.

“That’s a crazy thing happening right now among the youth. We have been hearing this since we were kids. This is like a clear picture. It was like a myth but now we are seeing kids buy and mix things up…” he told Andy Dosty.

“I know people who looked healthy but now look older due to the effect of the drugs. Before they could come close but they can’t anymore…”

“Don’t drink or take drugs when you know very well you are not sick. It has no benefits to your health…” he advised the youth.
