Drug addiction on rise among teens(in Qatar?)
DOHA The alarm bell is ringing loud and clear for parents as well as authorities to wake up and take notice as more and more teenagers in the region are turning drug addicts.
More and more young people now openly talk of their peers taking banned drugs despite greater awareness about the harmful effects of narcotics on the physical and mental health of the user.
....Omar, a 12-year-old Omani boy (name changed) said, “I know some people my age who smoke and take drugs.
There are lots of them in our school.
They are taking to drugs because their friends are luring them into it.
They just go out with their friends and take drugs and their families don’t know about it.
Last year, I had one school mate who was caught while smoking.
He was expelled from the school immediately.” Ramy, a 14-year-old Qatari boy (name changed), said, “I know four people my age who are hooked on drugs.
They are my classmates.
They use it after school hours.
It’s called suwayka.” Muhammad, another 14-yearold Qatari (name changed) said, “Suwayka is a type of herb you put under the lower lip.

to Hongkong.
Chewing tobacco / Gutka are Not drugs but banned in Qatar, these are giving similar effect to the brains.
I hope the authority will take this seriously. Unlike dead people, drug addicts are burden to the society.
it so happened these kids favored this "stuff".
Suwaika? Drug? Oh Come On.....its not a drug.
I wonder why its banned here in the Gulf where as Alcohol is available everywhere.

Qatar needs to toughen its law on nacortics carrier & usage, like a mandatory death sentence when caught. Its one of a way to do effective deterence

"squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said"

I wish we could grow Opium in Britain so we not have to import it from the east.. Its just that our authorities and climate don't allow it :)
You give us drugs we give you Red bull..:)

Can We Fix It?
Yes We Can!
Some of you Fu**wads need to learn to take a little sarcasm. How many times has it been said on this site that these things don't happen here because it's a good Muslim country. Sheesh. Some people are out looking for Islam bashers at every turn.

alarming indeed! imagine a teenager who is under the influence of drugs - driving like crazy, innocent people will be in jeopardy.

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

u mean to say tat NASWAR is a drug ? :(
once a person is doped with it.
So it's not necessarily a western, an arab, or asian. What matters most are that these are young kids.
Is it like that stuff they use in Yemen? Qat or something it's called?
My little bro fell into the wrong crowd of Qatari boys here and ended up on coke & hash.

And if it's not from the West, it will be from the West.
The West. Suwayka clearly is a western drug. I think Nestle produces it.
of west on east :P
who are supplying banned drugs in Qatar?
Thanks for Sharing and ALERT!
Drugs are haram, of course good Muslim boys and girls wouldn't be using them. It must be the evil Western boys and girls.
