Recently, the Gucheng Community Drug Rehabilitation Center went to the pharmacies under its jurisdiction to carry out anti-drug publicity activities. During the period, the anti-drug special cadre publicized the knowledge of sodium coffee and related laws and regulations to the pharmacy staff, educated and guided away from drugs, and combined with the brochure pictures to help the staff learn how to prevent drugs and identify drug crimes, reminding the staff, especially for pet hospitals, sodium coffee is also a drug, which belongs to the second class of psychotropic drugs strictly controlled in China. It is an illegal act to take drugs and sodium coffee, and if you illegally manufacture or sell sodium coffee, it will constitute the crime of manufacturing and selling drugs. We call on everyone to consciously resist the temptation of drugs, more intuitively understand the harm caused by anna and drug abuse to individuals, families and society, and further enhance the awareness of anti-drug in the whole people.

Through this anti-drug publicity activity, we have deeply promoted the anti-drug work and anti-drug publicity in-depth development in the jurisdiction, further deepened the pharmacy practitioners' study of laws and regulations, and enhanced their ability to recognize, prevent and resist drugs.
