Introduction :- Drug addict is the major problem among the youth in our
country and also drug abuse is rife in many countries. Billions of dollars are
spent internationally preventing drug use, treating addicts, and fighting
drug-related crime. Although drugs threaten many societies, their effects can
also be combated successfully. This essay looks at some of the effects of drug
use on society, and suggests some solutions to the problem.
Problem :- Drug abuse causes multiple problems for countries and
communities. The medical and psychological effects are very obvious. Addicts
cannot function as normal members of the society. They neglect or abuse their
families, and eventually require expensive treatment or hospitalization.
The second effect is on crime.Huge
police resources are needed to fight smuggling and dealing. Criminal gangs and
mafia underworlds develop with the money from drugs.
Solution :- However, the menace of drugs can be fought. Education is the
first battle. Children need to be told at home and in school about drugs.
People need to be aware of the effects so that they can avoid this problem
A second approach is to increase
police manpower and create effective laws to stop dealers.However the main
target should be the user: Families and counselors need to talk to children and
people at risk. Parents need to look at their children and help them to become
responsible. Worthwhile jobs and housing are also needed to give people a role
in society.
Conclusion
:- In conclusion, we can say that although
the problem of drugs may seem impossible to eliminate, there are concrete steps
that can be taken to weaken the hold of drugs on society.The danger from drugs
is too great to ignore for us and our children.
