There is a new trend of increasing use of synthetic drugs known as "ICE" (methamphetamine crystals) among schoolchildren, the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board (NDDCB) said.

A senior NDDCB official said that parents should pay more attention to the activities of their children.

It was reported that the use of ICE, heroin, and tobacco related products had become a trend among schoolchildren.

It had become a trend of using certain medications tablets that use as psychotropic drugs.

He stated that what the students used to accept will not be gained through the use of the aforementioned drugs.

The majority of them claimed that the ICE isotope would help them stay awake.Getting enough sleep is a little depressing.If they use ICE, they might need another three days of sleep to relax the brain and body.

He further mentioned that nothing will get solved with the use of drugs, but it will help to increase the existing issues and create new ones. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

It is prime duty of the both police and the excise department to look in to the matter intentionally. Thus they should go on continuous raids in order to apprehend the school children who are used to consume ICE and other tobacco related drugs. The principles and the teachers of the leading schools should be cautious and aware of the teenagers who are under their care. If the teachers find or notice something wrong subsequently the police should be summoned to the schools forthwith for further action

Bring some law that no vendors are allowed to sell anything near schools. School authorities also must take responsibility for this.

It is politicians who introduced this into Sri Lanka no one else

In a country like Sri Lanka, where secrets cannot be kept and people are pathologically curious and jealous, it would be so easy for the police to arrest the dealers and get to the backers and the drug lords. But as long as many politicians like Nimal Lanza are involved in this dirty business, the police will not be successful.
