PROBLEM Srinagar emerging as drug peddling hub Vulnerable teenagers becoming consumers & carriers SOLUTION Early intervention, school-based counselling systems Schools, parents must understand drug language, digital culture Srinagar, Jun 16: “Scorpio”, “Ice”, “Gold Star”, “Weed” and “420” may sound like harmless slang or teenage jargon to many parents, but a new research study has revealed that these coded words are increasingly becoming part of Kashmir’s underground drug culture, silently connecting peddlers with school-going children and young addicts across the Valley. The alarming findings have surfaced in a detailed study conducted by Dr Sameena Wani, presently Principal of Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Kothibagh, Srinagar and submitted to DIET Srinagar, which examines the growing causes and manifestations of drug abuse among school children in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the study, drug dealers and users are increasingly relying on coded street names to conceal conversations related to narcotics from families, teachers and law enforcement agencies. Experts believe this evolving “drug vocabulary” has made the menace more difficult to identify, particularly among teenagers who communicate freely through social media platforms, online chats and peer networks.
