If you think you will finish your tertiary education by staying on drugs, then you will not and you will find yourself in custody or at the Saint Giles Hospital.

This has been highlighted by Drug-Free World Fiji Founder Kalesi Volatabu while speaking on fijivillage Straight Talk with Vijay Narayan.

She says while doing an outreach actively close to one of the universities, students have told them that methamphetamine is very good and helps them study and stay up late at night.

Volatabu says those are just lies peddlers are telling because they just want to make a buck.

She says if parents are not home and play their role as loving parents, children will go out looking for some excitement and something to do.

Volatabu says these innocent children do not know what they are getting themselves into.
