The area police officers Christer Höglund and Björn Olofsson are often out patrolling in Östersund. Almost every time, they stop any youth who are either affected or have drugs.
According to them, many young people take drugs and Christer Höglund believes that one reason is the attitude of young people to cannabis, for example.
- The problem is that many people have a liberal view of this with cannabis because many countries have legalized their own farming. So unfortunately, we see an increase among young people, he says.
Who are the young people taking drugs?
- Many people think it can't affect their own youth. But I can say that this can affect anyone, regardless of social class. It is both girls and guys, says Christer Höglund.
