Are Lebanese politicians protecting drug dealers?

For years now, the Lebanese society has been suffering from the spread of drugs among minors.

Rabih, a former drug addict, began using drugs when he was 13 years old. He had been an addict for 13 years when he took the decision to go through rehabilitation and start all over again.

Besides parents, educational institutions play a pivotal role in watching over children. Yet, the legislative power play an even greater role as it can tighten sanctions against drug dealers.

However, the main responsibility lies within the political class to lift the lid on dealers, for awareness alone is not enough.
