The seminar clarified that this problem is not limited to one type of drug, a specific country, or a particular class or segment of society, but rather encompasses all types, classes, and groups. The seminar recommended the necessity of awareness, which is considered the cornerstone and first line of defense in any effective strategy to reduce the spread of drug abuse.
