Hong Kong Customs detected two dangerous drugs cases on March 18 and yesterday (April 1), and seized a total of about 3.6 kilograms of suspected ketamine, about 1kg of suspected cocaine and about 60 grams of suspected crack cocaine at Hong Kong International Airport and Tin Shui Wai. The total estimated market value was about $3.1 million. Two men were arrested.

Upon examination, Customs officers found that suspected ketamine, weighing about 3.6kg in total, were concealed inside four paintings in the consignment.
Customs officers then mounted a controlled delivery operation yesterday and arrested a 29-year-old man suspected to be connected with the case in Fanling.
In the second case, during an anti-narcotics operation conducted in the vicinity of Tin Shui Wai yesterday, Customs officers intercepted a suspicious man. Upon inspection, Customs officers seized about 1kg of suspected cocaine inside the backpack of the man. The 22-year-old man was subsequently arrested.
Customs officers later escorted the arrested man to a residential premises nearby for a search and further seized about 60g of suspected crack cocaine and a batch of drug manufacturing and packaging paraphernalia.
Investigations of the two cases are ongoing.

The book is an educational tool for those fighting the war on drug and alcohol abuse, especially teens who are unaware of these vices or susceptible to the temptations of it. Teens must make so many choices early in life, yet most find themselves unprepared even at times misinformed. For that reason, parents and educators agree Drugs and Alcohol 101 should be a prerequisite for required reading, prior to any student entering high school or college.

Author
This is an updated version of our original Drugs and Alcohol 101 that William and Deborah Shooter published in 2010. They have always been concerned about the effects of drugs and alcohol use by their countrys teens and young adults. Both of them have spent many years trying to help young and young at heart drivers to improve their attitudes towards driving defensively and not aggressively. They wanted to write a book showing kids how important they are to society; how their young bodies are growing, especially their brains. Most importantly William and Deborah wanted to show them how dopamine and the natural feel-good drugs that their bodies produce need to be maintained in a drug-free body. The use of many drugs being used by teens today removes the ability for our bodies to produce those natural drugs leading to addictions and withdrawal from the society that wants them to survive as meaningful full members of their communities.
