KOTA BHARU:
The Kelantan government plans to hold discussions with the state education department regarding reports of secondary school students using vapes containing “magic mushroom” liquid.

Deputy menteri besar Fadzli Hassan said they would conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

“I will personally look into this issue as I have just been made aware of it. We will engage in discussions with the relevant authorities,” he told reporters at the “Kelantan Membangun Bersama Islam” International Conference 2024 here today.

Fadzli was responding to a statement by home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail in Parliament yesterday regarding a study conducted by the Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital involving 152 students in Kelantan.

Saifuddin said the study revealed that 65% of the students involved were found using vapes mixed with a substance known as magic mushroom (a type of fungus that can cause hallucinations), which is considered to be a drug of greater concern than methamphetamine and syabu.
