Music festivals are events where people gather to have fun and enjoy music. This is expected to be a venue for people who have the same interests to meet and exchange thoughts, and perhaps, be friends. But this is not the first time to hear about such event being turned into a venue for drug use and selling. Since such events are often attended by younger people, it’s the youth that often becomes the victim.
This is why it’s important that in events like this, security should be tighter to ensure that everyone is safe and can have fun comfortably. The problem with drugs seems to be never-ending. In this case, it’s important that rehabs are accessible to offer help to those who are addicted to drugs and would like to change.
