Background
I want the government to do it as there's been an increase in the use of weed of the youth particularly. For instance, according to the Young people's substance misuse treatment statistics 2022 to 2023 report published by the UK government, there had been a 10% increase in the amount of teens using weed in between of 2022 and 2023. This suggests that there's a potential lack of information about the harmful effects of drug usage of teens. Hence, they should be taught about harms of drug early.
