ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Social media plays a significant role in the Public Relations world and also has influence when it comes to raising awareness on topics and also knowing the specific target audience. Social media played a huge role when it came to this hashtag because many people didn’t know much about this but then with the use of social media people had an idea of what is happening.
The discussion of this hashtag on social media was very important because people where now able to find help they have been seeking for some time on how they can work with the problem and also people who are drug addicts and how they can help them and also getting more information about drugs and symptoms. And also show that the people who are willing to quit drugs are not alone they can get help and also change to be better citizens.


DISADVANTAGES
Social media does not do much for the campaign, well it allows people to share information and also their past experiences about drug abuse and being addicts and also raising the awareness about but the people out there who will still speak good about the usage of drugs which may convey a wrong message to the younger generation. Because social media is a huge space the like of prescribed drugs like the cough syrup (lean) is easy to find and most of the famous musicians drink it this might influence the people who have access to social media. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter are still the most valuable tools used to convey a message but the problem is they can’t be controlled once something bad is being posted.

  3. The use of social media can help spread awareness and sharing information about the consequences of using drugs, this information can help 1 of 2 individuals who might be trapped in drug addiction and want to be helped, my take on this is that if this platform can be used and get psychiatrist and doctors on board for those individuals who want to speak and have a conversation,like creating a group which will be excessed only if you are seeking help regarding a drug problem.

  7. I also feel like the community is the one that have power to fight over this issue. I mean the people who sell these things are within the community and the sad truth is that as the community we fail each other because you find that we know who the dealers are yet we keep quiet. If only we can be united first, then the rest shall follow

    . Through the power of social media we access to such information from such intelligent people who are at liberty to share with the rest of us. The impact of drugs is destroying a lot of young talent, young influencers who have the power to do so much with their lives
