What everyone should know about drugs

Many people are afraid of drugs. This fear of the unknown often leaves little room for common sense and all the more space for panic. All of this also makes thinking and talking about drugs extra difficult.

Given that everyone will come into contact with drugs, drug use or drug-related problems at some point in their lives, it is good to take a sober attitude. The best way to achieve this is to learn as much as possible about drugs, where they come from, who uses them, why people use them, what risks are involved and how problems can be prevented. These pages provide general information on drugs. On the other pages in this website, more specific information is presented per substance.
