A significant rise in prescription drug abuse, particularly Tapentadol and Nitrazepam, is troubling authorities. Police have identified specific injection marks on youths, indicating drug misuse. Despite increased seizures, enforcement laws struggle to address the issue effectively. Traffickers have adapted their methods, moving to underground networks to evade detection. Efforts are ongoing to strengthen the legal framework surrounding these drugs and improve supply chain monitoring.
