In Russia, mandatory drug testing will be introduced for school children

Authorities in Russia, due to the increasingly frequent abuse of drugs among school children, are considering the introduction of drug testing in schools.

If the popularity of narcotics among elementary and high school students decreases soon, drug testing will become certain.

According to official research, cannabis and amphetamines are the most popular among Russian schoolchildren, writes RIA Novosti.

In Russia, as many as 2.5 million people use narcotics, including one-time and occasional users, as well as addicts.
