Sociologists think that the youths turn to these drugs out of frustration. It may be true to some extent. The youths, in general, do not see much light for their future. A sense of frustration grows in them. They want to escape from hard realities for a short period. Sometimes they take to it out of sheer fun. But once they have a taste of it, they become addicted. They find next that it is impossible to come out of this killing habit. Drug addiction may also come from parental neglect. A young love-sick mind may be addicted for the unfulfilment of his love. Many drug peddlers pose as vendors and lace foodstuff with drugs. Thus many people become addicted to drug without even being aware of it.
The result of drug addiction is really dangerous. It is far reaching and almost irreparable. It not only ruins the health of the addicted but also cuts down their life-span. One may also die if one gives up taking drugs suddenly. An addicted person becomes mentally sterile. He turns into an emotionally insensitive and unfeeling rubbish of a society. His brain gradually becomes useless. He loses the sense of distinction between good and evil. The effect of drug addiction is just like slow poisoning. This poison takes an addicted one to the realm of unnatural death bit by bit.
Actually, various measures should be taken by the government to restrain drug addiction. Drug peddlers should be heavily punished. Government and social organisations should take proper care to treat the drug addicted. Drug therapy units should be opened in all government hospitals. The addicted should be impressed in many ways. They may be made understand that all is not over with him. With a little determination, they can get back their normal healthy life.
