| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this research was to explore legal drugs harm minim ization strategy. This research tried to answer questions of,- how do these bureaus recognize the potential and current harm of legal drugs and devise a strategy to address the problem? What are these strategies employed to deal with the potential and current harm a! such drugs? To what extent resources are deployed for implementation? A qualitative exploratoty study research design wilh a plllposive sampling technique was used. Interview, focused group discussion, and archival records survey were the data collection tools. The finding indicated that,the city government has no balanced and integrated city level drug strategy for com baling legal drug use and abuse, for promoting responsible behavior, and for minimizing legal drug harms inflicted among the potential and current drug users at a strategic level. There are some aClivity level interventional efforts done scantly without having strategic intention. These activity level interventions have dif!erent problems. Lack of modal coordination in process and goal among different Slakes, lack of legal enforcement, lack of detail directives and specific objectives to what they could achieve and are intermittent. Resources are ill adequate for implementation, and there is 110 evalualing systems and no independent adviSOry organ on such drugs. Advocacy for having nalional drug strategy at strategic level and providing services at activity level is advisable.
