Many have made it the new normal to drink and abuse drugs from Monday to Monday.
Studies done in Kenya show that the most commonly abused drugs are nicotine, alcohol, and cannabis
Alcohol is the most abused drug in Kenya, according to a survey done by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA).
Over the past few months, NACADA took matters into their own hands to arrest people who have been selling and smoking shisha
NACADA conducted a raid in the Nairobi clubs at midnight where they arrested several people who were caught abusing illegal substances'.
