I think it is more the mountain than the town, though the town is pretty
good, but, no, I don't think that the drug supply is the reason they stay in
this city.
Mind you, that is probably why many appear to be in a wonderous state, but
that is another matter.

SA's junkies smoke their way to the top
June 26 2002 at 01:46PM
South Africans consumed up to 80 percent of the world's Mandrax, a report by
the United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention (UDCCP)
revealed on Wednesday.
"Estimates vary, but it is believed that between 70 and 80 percent of the
world's consumption of Mandrax occurs within South Africa's borders," the
body's southern African representative Rob Boone said in Pretoria.
South Africa also accounted for the second largest quantity of dagga seized
anywhere in the world - about 718 tons annually.
"It is surpassed only by Mexico," Boone said at the unveiling of the report,
entitled: Global Illicit Drug Trends 2002.
More and more South Africans were getting hooked on heroin
The document stated that more and more South Africans were getting hooked on
heroin.
At least 47 percent and 31 percent of heroin patients in Cape Town and
Gauteng respectively had injection marks, it said.
"South Africa is now also starting to witness heroin use among the poor in
township areas."
While no official prevalence figures existed for drug use in South Africa,
dagga and Mandrax were seen as the most commonly used narcotics, Boone said.
The 283-page report, compiled by the UDCCP, was released in Pretoria
together with the launch of a Gauteng pilot drug awareness campaign called
Ke Moja, meaning "No thanks, I'm fine".
'Narcotics set us up back about R2,5-billion a year'
The awareness campaign was aimed at reducing drug abuse and trafficking,
while curbing the spread of HIV/Aids through the sharing of needles.
"The fact that this initiative is launched on the same day we are
commemorating the International Day Against Drug Abuse is a significant
step," Boone said.
The campaign is a joint partnership between the Central Drug Authority
(CDA), the UCDDP and the departments of Safety and Security, Health, and
Education.
It seeks to teach teenagers to refuse when pressured into taking drugs. The
success of the pilot programme would ensure a national roll-out later in the
year.
CDA chairperson Frank Khan said the emphasis should not be limited to drug
abuse, as alcohol was a major cause of crime, violence and moral decay in
South Africa.
"Between 65 percent and 70 percent of violent crimes in Cape Town can be
attributed to the intake of alcohol. Alcohol is costing South Africa about
R10,6-billion annually, while narcotics set us up back about R2,5-billion a
year," he said. - Sapa
