Joan Pereira on misuse of drugs and constitution amendment bills
The advent of new psychoactive substances is not just a drug issue; it also translates into community mental health issues, said MP Joan Pereira. She said studies have shown that substance abuse and mental health issues often go hand in hand. She asked for more comprehensive and longer-term mental health support for drug abusers who have gone through rehabilitation. Ms Pereira spoke in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 21).
