Warning about Illegal Drugs
Dear Students
Recently, there have been several incidents involving university students possessing or using illegal drugs (such as marijuana and novel psychoactive substances) or being suspected of possession or use. You may think this does not concern you, but products containing ingredients that could lead to drug intake or drug dependence are increasingly being sold on the internet and social media sites and even at discount stores under names that do not seem dangerous or illegal, claiming to have "relaxing", "concentration enhancing", or "weight loss" effects. Regardless of personal intent, everyone faces the risk of drug exposure in their daily lives.
It is important not to be influenced by words like “legal” or “safe,” by casual attitudes, or by misinformation, and to absolutely refrain from involving yourself with anything that could negatively affect your future.
Although we have been issuing warnings for some time, an increasing number of students are encountering or hearing about drugs through people or places close to them. Once again, we ask that you develop a firm understanding of the dangers of drugs and act with self-awareness, responsibility, and moderation in order to protect your future and stay safe during your time at university.
