Anti-drug train makes stop in Bohumín

An anti-drug train which is part of an educational and preventive programme to try and keep young people off of drugs has made a stop in Bohumín, Moravia, where last year local elementary schools across seven municipalities had sewage water tested for the presence of illicit substances. The presence of drug abuse was also confirmed by an anonymous survey in nearby Orlové, which showed that roughly a quarter of students in grade nine had experimented with illegal drugs. The anti-drug train takes visitors on a 90 minute tour through different settings to get young people to think about the risk of abusing both legal and illegal substances.
