THOUGHT FOR THE DAY


INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST DRUG ABUSE AND ILLICIT TRAFFICKING



The International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a United Nations International Day against drug abuse and the illegal drug trade. It is observed annually on 26 June, since 1988, a date chosen to commemorate Lin Zexu's dismantling of the opium trade in Humen, Guangdong, just before the first opium war in China.
