Question 15185 — drugs

Summary

Mr. Édouard Jordan draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the worrying trivialization of drug consumption, particularly among young people, and to its human, social and health consequences. For several years, numerous indicators have highlighted an increasing spread of the use of illicit substances among increasingly young people. This development is accompanied by a form of increased social tolerance, even trivialization, particularly through certain media or cultural discourses which tend to minimize the risks associated with this consumption. This erroneous perception contributes to disinhibiting uses and delaying awareness of the real dangers. However, the consequences of drug use are far from trivial. They seriously affect health physical and mental health of users, particularly adolescents whose neurological development is still ongoing. Anxiety and depressive disorders, increased risks of dependence, cognitive alterations, academic failure and social marginalization are frequent manifestations. In addition to these individual consequences, there are particularly serious family impacts: imbalances, violence, isolation and in the most difficult situations tragic, deaths which plunge entire families into distress. Beyond the private sphere, this problem constitutes a major public health issue. It mobilizes significant resources in terms of care, prevention and security, while fueling criminal networks which thrive on the vulnerability of young people. Faced with this situation, it appears essential to strengthen prevention policies, particularly in educational establishments, in order to deliver clear, objective information adapted to current usage realities. It is also necessary to provide more support to families faced with these problems, who are often helpless when faced with the addiction of a loved one, and to develop early and accessible support systems. In this context, he asks him to please specify the actions that the Government intends to work to intensify prevention among young people and fight against the trivialization of drug consumption.
