Uselu Psychiatric Hospital Benin, Admits Over 6,556 Cannabis Related Patients

Dr Bowa James, the Medical Consultant, Federal Psychiatric Hospital, Uselu in Benin, says that more than 6,556 patients admitted in the hospital had drug and cannabis related cases.
He said that 70 per cent of the psychiatric patients were mostly young people who had engaged in illicit use of drugs.

``Over 200,000 users of illicit drugs die annually, and in spite of the UN's effort to tackle the menace, drug abuse has continued to be on the increase.
``Emphasis must be placed on the control of drug abuse as it can undermine the political stability of the country.''
