Nearly 60% of youths are prone to drug abuse and are been influenced by peers group ,who make them indulge in this act ,this makes the youth have a higher ratio of drug addiction ,this is why they dominate a higher population at the correctional centers facilities, mental homes facilities,prison facilities due to drug influence reaction.
There have been increase in the cases of rape ,robbery ,homocides,depression, suicide, gang fight and this cases have shown a large number of youth engagement in this crimes.
Increase in domestic abuse ,marriages are caused by this drugs influence and anger management problem faced by many of this youths ,both male and female gender.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Drug abuse has caused so many effect on the youths of nowadays,making them behave in an abnormal way.it also lead to the dead of our youths for as many as those who have chose to abuse drugs in one way or the other.
Our youths engage in illegal acts,criminality,robbery and other activities because of the wrong way in which they abuse or misuse drugs.

Drugs like Indian hemp is over 3400 years old. That means drug use is older than most governments. The problem with drug use in my country is government's failure to decriminalization some recreational drugs like Indian hemp. I have interviewed some youths and I discovered that because of the smell from smoking Indian which can attract drug enforcement agencies they decide to use other drugs. This has led to the use of different kind of dangerous drugs that have led to increase in the rate of mental problems and crime. Currently, my country is now a big market for drug traffickers and drug companies. Recently a hard drug industry that employed expatriates from world leading drug exporting countries was discovered in my area. Youths are now using combinations of pharmaceutical drugs to get high without considering the health effect.
Also note that the high rate of crime is also a result of gradual decay of good societal values, corrupt government and poverty.

Legalize everything, that's my answer. I must say, I'm neither a lawyer nor a doctor, it's just my personal opinion based on what I read and see with my own eyes. Drug abuse is bad, no doubt about it, but so is alcohol abuse, tobacco abuse and many other things. Legalize drugs and you'll make them less attractive to the youth who always wants to do something illegal. Make broccoli illegal, and the youth will start using it more.

[Cantsay]

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

The method which I think will be more effective is to start educating them at early about the advantages and the disadvantages of drug and not just the disadvantages alone.
  I think it is better to teach a child everything about something, because a time will eventually come when all that will be left to guide that child will be the teachings he/she received.

This is my opinion.

[Mometaskers]

What can they do? More funding for things like sports, etc. More funding for counseling. Have class about psychology as early as possible and teach the teens how to manage their emotions etc. Rehab for when they do start using.The thing is, it seems governments tend to be more hellbent on attacking just the supply side.

I read recently that unlike "hard" drugs like meth, marijuana rarely cause long-term problems and is not addictive. And it seems people are more chill when they are on it and going around rampaging and raping.

[yazher]

Depending on where you live some of the youths are worse compared to others and they became feeling self-sufficient, they don't respect the elders anymore due to the effect of the drug and the song related to it. The lyrics made them do things that were unimaginable for their age but the culprit here is not them, is the one who makes drugs and the one who distributes them to them. youth shouldn't be acting this way, that's why we really need to be vigilant when it comes to parenting we really need them to avoid friends that will not encourage them to take drugs or things that are related to it.

[Findingnemo]

The drug abuse? Anyone forced to take drugs or they force themselves to consume because they wanted to since they're addicted to it. I don't know the drug addiction being the root cause of all the crime because I have seen people who never consumed drugs also become the criminals.

What about cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl? Fentanyl is particularly deadly and is responsible for deaths among young people. Does the government not serve the purpose to maintain a healthy and drug free society for the common good?

I'm okay with less potent and deadly drugs being legalized as long as they aren't detrimental to the health and safety of the general population. Marijuana, LSD, shrooms are some particulars.

Legalizing everything just means poison in the blood of the youth. It won't solve anything.

[Majestic-milf]

 It's a big problem for youths of today as they see it as an essential means of survival. Personally, I feel that the government can do a lot to curb this scourge as most times, youths who engage in such activities are most times jobless.
 Most youths also succumb to peer pressure and as a result of this over dependence on these drugs, you begin to hear of cases of robbery because when you run out of means to get your daily "fix", you steal to get it else you will be demoralized.

If we are being true to ourselves, one of the major problem of the society nowadays has its roots in the failure of the family to bring up the next generation properly. Many children grow up to become problems to themself and the society at large because of parents negligence.
There is little the government can do at a point in an individual's life when the unit responsibility for its foundation building fails (apart from locking the person on in a correctional facility or something).

Parents should be more responsible and accountable for their wards. I believe this would be by far a better solution instead on waiting on the government to do everything.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Is there anything the government can do about the effects of drug abuse? There are several restrictions they could impose to minimize the percentage. But, A lot of money is being generated for the government by the drug industry. Several drags are heavily taxed in my country every year by the ruling authorities. The common targets are youth, and they're becoming so addicted in no time. Humans lose control over their addiction to drugs, resulting in youth committing several crimes. The situation is out of control, as things are growing rapidly.

[Rockstarguy]

The rate at which youths indulge in drugs is skyrocketing every year, it is affecting the society because the society needs youths that can think uprightly . Youths involvement in drugs will also be a problem in the future because youths are the leaders of tomorrow,  I still wonder how can the society survive when their are high of youths who are addicted to drugs. For the fact that the government  is fighting against intakes of dangerous drugs more still crave for drugs.

[Maestro75]

The use and exposure to social media has also made this vice worse. Alot of youths are exposed to social media and they learn fast from what others are doing and then begin to practice it at home. That is the way these things spread across to countries which were not used to it. Homosexuality, substance abuse and internet fraud were all not a thing in Africa until the internet came. To control these things it will be better for parents to monitor what their children are exposed to online. I see alot of children owning mobile phones they should not be holding at that age. Parents should be careful. The blame on exposure to drugs is on parents, not government.

it's becoming really alarming how youths crave for drugs,and how drugs use them to do things that are not normal.Drug abuse is now very common to the extend that even children  indulge in it,they take drugs to calm their pressure,some of them take it to make them feel high ,forgeting the side effects involve in drugs abuse.Taking too much drugs has  so many things it does to the human system.Some of those drugs kills some vital cells in the body.

Am I getting this just right?
Sorry but I don't buy into your idea of legalising drugs. In fact, the very danger that emerges from not legalising drugs is the killing it attracts at the cartel levels mostly and the extreme caution that is taken by the various groups to cut the trails that follows in a drug burst compromise.

Another effect is in the case of price. Banning drugs creates a scarcity and with increase demand, I becomes the more expensive but trust me, its got little or nothing to do with its consumption.

Most of those involved in drug abuse is actually for the feeling thy tend to get out of its intake or the pressure they hope to escape from life. Others might be for the purposes of perpetuating other crimes not limited to abduction. I dont know but, I don't see legalisation of drugs to be a solution to this.

Youths now is miss using drugs every time and every minute and the things they take now they don't know the implications and the implications and the side effects will not come now but later in future and at times drugs they take for early stage do affect the reproductive system of human organ and after years they will be unable to reproduce and including female reproductive system it affect female than male

The government has done something good by placing a ban on hard drugs yet people still import those harmful drugs to different countries, so I think the only way for the government to tackle the issue of drug abuse is to set death penalty for anyone caught producing, selling or taking hard drugs I think this will go a long way to stop the issue of drug abuse.

Parents can also help in the stop of drug abuse by speaking out and reporting to the government should dey find their children taking hard drugs.

Drug abuse is a serious offence that can lead one to jail or any serious punishment,  but I don't think drug abuse should be what will warrant death to offendera. Their are punishment that can be better than wasting people life. Instead of killing offenders it is better to jail offenders for 5=10 years, this will make them to stay away from drugs for some years, than terminating peoples life .

[Lida93]

Drug abuse is something I won't even pray for my enemy to indulge in. Like is self destructive and a very good promoter of violence in any society.

The government on the other hand can only set up regulating laws but stopping it's continuous production is one thing am not sure as a result of the huge sum the industry is giving back to the government as tax. And so it's now left for parents and guidance to keep up to their responsibility of Parenthood in doing their very best to salvage their wards from drug related associates and peer groups. And also giving the young an early knowledge about the negative impart of drug abuse  and it related consequences can really go a long way to helping the society reduce drug abusers .

You know, you are right. Instead of "legalize" I should rather have said "decriminalize" when talking about "everything". The government must do what they can to lessen the consumption of killer drugs by its citizens, but, and it's a very important "but", youth should not go to jail for possession of drugs. Such laws only make things worse.

[Lordhermes]

Drugs abuse is indeed a killer disease to it abusers,but most people feel it's fun to misuse drug.The moment you become addicted to taking hard drugs,there is every tendency that one is bound to behave abnormal.It is bad that the youths of today no longer value their health,they prefer stuffs that kills them and adds no value to their life.The moment addiction steps in,one is bound to act in a way that is unfavourable to the ones around him.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

just like people always said, raising up a child has always been a collective effect of both parents and the society at large, but these days if a child is seen doing something bad, and been punish for doing such, you see parents coming out to quarrel or even fight such individual for punishing their child, which is very bad. because there is a stage you can not correct a child anymore, and that's why its good to start it from the very day that child was born so that he or she can get use to it and know what's right from wrong. And when someone punish your children for doing so, endeavour to first know why, before jumping into a quarrel or fight, and which what the child did was wrong, flog her there so that he or she will know it was wrong and never do it again

Drug abuse is not only a killer disease to the abuser alone and if we checked very well it is a killer disease to the future generation and our environment.
Meanwhile, the kids of this present time are easy to be influenced by their friends especially those that are still in their teenage.
I believe a good solution is need to be implemented to prevent drug abuse among the youth or else we'll see more 8yrs old with firearms and attacking someone who's old enough to be their parent.

I wonder how the next generation will be able to handle drugs because right now drug abuse among youths in the society is beyond control , I think the government can't stop it totally because most youths take hard drugs in a hidden place or their home which no security agent can stop them from the act.

I believe all this is happening because of two reasons.
1) Some parents of this day are not supposed to be parents, they give birth at an early stage when they ought to learn from their parents. They have no experience of what it takes to be a parent so they raise a child that will be a problem to the community because the child lacks parental care and guidance.
2) The government didn't regulate the drug in a way that will prevent it from getting into the hands of youth.

[Prosperiousproduct]

Drug abuse is really becoming serious, most of our youths are addicted to this hard drugs they take. Most of them are losing their memory, some get high and destroy lives and properties. Most of them also get arrested for drug trafficking and abuse, the effect of drug abuse is now growing without limit in almost all part of every country.
We really need to find a solution to it if possible.

before existence of bitcoin as now empowerment of youths, many youths has gone to many wrong deals of drugs which caused some of them live being miserable, youths of this time is addicted to drugs this time . The rate I'm seeing the drugs addition of bitcoin it's something that can not be out from them in next ten years.except government intervention for some nation's, because some people is exchanging property currently to get drugs and it's very bad of our youth

[Lordhermes]

Many youths have lose their life's and their properties because of drugs misuse.It is advisable that one should not take drugs without the doctor's prescription,but nowadays,the youths have decided to ignore the prescription of the doctors and have chosen to abuse drugs just to get high. Most of the drugs taken have effects on them but despite knowing the fact that they are harmful to their system,they still chose to take them.Some of those drugs cause erectile disfunction,some cause obesity, while some may lead to death,therefore it is adviceable to be very careful while taking drugs,and must ensure one follows the doctor's prescription.

[Newlifebtc]

The drug abuse? Anyone forced to take drugs or they force themselves to consume because they wanted to since they're addicted to it. I don't know the drug addiction being the root cause of all the crime because I have seen people who never consumed drugs also become the criminals.

drug abuse in so many countries has made some people mad because of excessive intake of it so therefore it is not suppose to be using drugs for anything some people is forcing yourselves to be addicted for drugs because they have seen their age blacket who is taking it and then want to join the same group of people and it has mislead children

I think this is the perfect way of handling this issue. Parents should try their best in educating their children, on this stuffs. Many people who are drugs addicts today, never got the chance of knowing the negative impact of drugs on the body. Also, the government have to create job opportunities for Youths, Because, most youths who engage in criminal acts, partake in such act as a result of unemployment. Also, we have to encourage the movements against hard drugs.

Consuming alcohol is also a drug but its allowed everywhere right by the government itself and the fact is only people who wants to consume is taking it others probably avoiding it that is how the drug too even though it's not legally allowed but its almost available everywhere in the black market so only who really wanted is buying it and no one is forced to buy it which is what zi actually wanted to say.

Do you know that in most families that have drug abusers the children copied from their parents? Parents need to be caustiond on some things they take or do in the presence of their children, secondly, I doubt if unemployment can lead people to taking hard drugs because even in some developed countries where there are no news of unemployment people still do drugs. I think the people that produce the drugs are the main reason why people still take hard drugs and the only way to stop it is to eradicate drug dealers.

I think the government are trying their best to reduce the intake of drugs among the youth. In as much of that the rate at which youth take drug is still high, even with the serious regulation people still sell drugs and the youth buy drugs and take it in a secret place. The main problem is the people who sells the drug and how it is gotten.

[belRiose]

There will always be SOME substance abuse, as there will always be some in society who are criminals, and those who indulge in anti-societal behavior.

Such is the nature of human beings.

However... in any society where the common currency is degraded and subject to inflationary pressures, all manner of societal degeneration will be accelerated.
An inflated, devalued currency causes and accelerates societal breakdown and degeneration in all it's forms.

drugs abuse did not start from this present period, it's a something that started for years back and this time or this era children is abusing it, this is going round everyday and every hour. Why i will say children of nowadays is addicted to drugs is because of the level of the atmosphere condition we are. Some youths takes drugs because of cold and of man power due to their factory functions and jobs that required extra time.

[Lordhermes]

Drugs have caused so many things in the life of the juvenile and the young ones,especially nowadays that the use of drugs have become common to everybody who wants to use it..The people selling drugs in the chemist have reduced the price drastically to the least price,which had made people that are not even financially bouyant able to afford it because it is very cheap.
It is alarming how our youths have constantly abuse their health all in the name of highness. We all need to stand up and say no to drug abuse

[harapan]

Can selling of hard drugs be put to an end successfully, if yes then drug trafficking and drug abusive behaviors can be put to an end.
Mostly caused as a result of peer pressure, families, fear, stupidity and ignorance. Also drug selling have been boasted to make bucks for some youths and turned them millionaire's. Parenting and lobbying against drugs should be passed from the juvenile stages of kids so as to avoid them when faced upon by pal's and social pressure.

[Masplanc]

Due to tough time we are having in the society on how to survive,  some youths get frustrated with the system of the society and they believe drugs is what can make them to be free from being frustrated but it's damaging the health the more. Many youth are brainwashed thinking that drugs heals depression  that's is why many youths go into it.

[rahmad2nd]

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation

The drug problem is a complex problem involving many people, the mafia, corrupt state institutions and a lot of money. Drug use has become a cultural trend among today's young people who are rapidly regenerating and touching all walks of life.  I don't know where to start to reduce drugs or effective ways to eradicate drugs, it will be very difficult to eradicate drugs, especially eliminating them from circulation, what I see from my own eyes many state institutions are involved instead of eradicating actually they play an important role  from the destruction of the younger generation who fall into drugs. So what are the effective measures to eliminate this culture of destruction? I don't even have the idea and authority for this matter

[iamsheikhadil]

Well, I think we as a society are also responsible for this growing trend, like, instead of making students sit in school giving them long lectures about history and other unimportant stuffs which directly contributes to the stress of growing teens and young adults, the pressure of academics and social establishment is also very high, I guess, if we can remove the root factor that contributes for these stress etc, I am sure this trend will come to a very declining phase.

Drug abuse is really becoming serious, most of our youths are addicted to this hard drugs they take. Most of them are losing their memory, some get high and destroy lives and properties. Most of them also get arrested for drug trafficking and abuse, the effect of drug abuse is now growing without limit in almost all part of every country.
We really need to find a solution to it if possible.

drugs abuse did not start from this present period, it's a something that started for years back and this time or this era children is abusing it, this is going round everyday and every hour. Why i will say children of nowadays is addicted to drugs is because of the level of the atmosphere condition we are. Some youths takes drugs because of cold and of man power due to their factory functions and jobs that required extra time.

Lol.  Weather conditions can be the major reason why the youths are abusing drug. To me I feel the era we found ourselves is different from the old days. Then people fear to take drugs because of the effect it has in the brain, taking drugs is a common thing to some of our youths because they feel it heals depression.

The people who set up the United States Government back in the late 1700s used drugs. Take a look at their snuff. It was tobacco, nicotine, but they used all kinds of weed. If they had done a little better job of it, we wouldn't be in all the trouble we are today.

Gotta start the kids out right, right?

[Frankolala]

  Drug abuse is a major problem in our society today not only by youth but by everybody into drug.
   Drug abuse is the improper intake of drugs without the doctor's prescription.
   Drug don't really make them misbehave and turn to criminals, it all depends on the individual. Some of these youths have some criminal act it them for example they rape,steal,love cultism and even to oppress people. When they take this drug base on the that aspect a rapist will think on how to go rape a girl,a thief will start thinking of his next target and so on.
   A gentle man when he is high he remains calm and feel relaxed. A genius will think more, in fact I will say drug brings out the best of who you are in thinking, character and actions.
   The youth are more victims to drug because of youth exorbitant, they want to do everything their friend or see people do,they want to live a life which they don't want to work hard but want to earn or live big,they want everything they want instantly.All these makes the youths of our present age into crime
  Though drug abuse is bad because it makes you spend so much and you can even be working just to take drugs. I know of a friend he works just to smoke drugs and he is always serious to work just so that he takes his drugs. The old women in my locality after the day farm work they will buy tramadol and drink if you ask them they will say it relieves the pain and makes them rest well.
  All these are drug abuse, if you ask some persons why are you into drug he will tell you that it makes him calm to tolerate and accommodate people. Some persons have very light brain that can't contain some hard drugs, therefore when they take the drugs,they start misbehaving doing all sort of atrocities.

[Synchronice]

They should educate society about drugs in the right way. People are so dumb that they don't know shit about drug tolerance and how they work. Ask any drug user if they know the pharmacology of the drug they use, mostly, they'll answer that it makes them happy and that's all but in reality it happens because the drugs release more dopamine and serotonin in your brain, affect different receptors like opioid receptors, GABA receptors, ghb receptors, voltage-gated Ca2+ channel trafficking, etc. Drugs make a hormonal imbalance in your brain and as a result, your brain tries to adapt to that hormonal imbalance. The more adderall you take, the more dopamine needs a brain to function normally (higher than normal levels of dopamine cause another problems in your brain like psychosis) because more dopamine is a new normal for your brain and once you leave it without the drug, your brain is in shock, it has less dopamine than ever.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

In the United States Of America and in Europe (but it's less common in Europe), doctors prescribe stimulants and ssri/snris to children. Can you imagine, six years old kid taking amphetamines to function normally in school? The problem is discipline, kid needs discipline, not drugs! Doctors prescribe opioid drugs very easily and people are happy to take them. The government, the pharma business, the doctors and the whole society around you are not helping you to fix your mental problems, they try to make you addicted on something. Sorry but I can't understand what's inside of those parents' brains who put their kids on drugs at an early age.

Drug abuse is bad, no doubt about it, but so is alcohol abuse, tobacco abuse and many other things. Legalize drugs and you'll make them less attractive to the youth who always wants to do something illegal. Make broccoli illegal, and the youth will start using it more.

Drugs are illegal, right? Are they hard to get? - No, right? It's one of the easiest thing to get if you want, so at some point they are legal I think the educational part is more important than absolute legalization. And parents should keep more control on their kids instead of giving them absolute freedom.

I read recently that unlike "hard" drugs like meth, marijuana rarely cause long-term problems and is not addictive. And it seems people are more chill when they are on it and going around rampaging and raping.

Marijuana is one of the most dangerous drug. All of my friends were smoking weed regularly, they are all fucked in terms of social status and income, they are just average guys who have a small income, play PlayStation, watch TV and so on. To be fair, they have become a little bit stupid. When you smoke weed, all the problems around you don't upset you, they don't make you angry because you feel chilled, relaxed and happy. The government wants people to keep in that state because they are less likely to resist.

Life is a struggle, how can you win it if you don't fight and accept the income? Drugs can't establish you as a person, they can't make you strong. I still think that stimulants in very moderation can tremendously help you at some point but people have no self-control and people love downers. I just duy from laughing when I hear that people use adderall to clean their house instead of working 24/7 on projects or something like that

[mindrust]

Nearly 60% of youths are prone to drug abuse and are been influenced by peers group ,who make them indulge in this act ,this makes the youth have a higher ratio of drug addiction ,this is why they dominate a higher population at the correctional centers facilities, mental homes facilities,prison facilities due to drug influence reaction.
There have been increase in the cases of rape ,robbery ,homocides,depression, suicide, gang fight and this cases have shown a large number of youth engagement in this crimes.
Increase in domestic abuse ,marriages are caused by this drugs influence and anger management problem faced by many of this youths ,both male and female gender.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Young people need good education, attention, love etc... If they can't find these, then they'll become desperate about their future and ruin themselves with drugs. That's pretty much always the story.

There are only a few of them do drugs because it is fun or cool. Most of them usually have bad financial situation, problematic parents, sometimes no parents at all.

We can do "some stuff" but it is impossible to solve all of these problems. Some of those people don't even want to be "saved". They just want to die...

[Tellarmachine]

A certain 21 year old once passed me by to a bunker corner where the use of elicit drugs were being carried out. I noticed something as he walked pass. He was energetic, smart on his movement, lively and worthy to be called somebody's son. But when this son of a man was done with drug or , maybe, the latter done with him and he was coming back from the bunker, he walked as if he was not working. His bones were as sluggish and beaten down as ever. The effect of drug abuse on youths is enormous. Untimely death, rebellion, sex abuse, criminality, beastiality
and all worth nots are what we suffer from abuse of drug by youths, the world's future. In order not to watch the world's future remain in jeopardy with folded arms in light of youths abuse of drug, it calls for youths empowerment on the part of government and big business owners. Massive education is also a key remedy.

[JoyMarsha]

The rate at which youths get involved in drugs is becoming so alarming. I wonder what the future holds for those countries whose youths take precedence in illicit drugs. Such a country is on the verge of collapse if adequate measures are not put in place to checkmate the usage of illicit drugs by the youths.

This has become the order of the day,drugs have been what the youths of nowadays live with.Taking unprescribed drugs and abusing drugs has been what is all over the world.It is bad to see the youth of today waste their youthful age all in the name of drugs that will cause damage to their health.Most of them have ended up in jail,because after taking these drugs,they think of doing wicked act that will end them up in jail,either they will go about robbing or they will want to kill,and all these acts are against the government of the society. So therefore it is adviceable for the youths of today to decist from all form of illegalities,and drug abuse.

[dataispower]

Drugs abuse have many damages in the body of the one consuming it for another purpose instead of the main purpose its being created. The youths of this days is abusing drugs and the drugs will act on their body depending the way they consume it. What i noticed that is among of the disadvantages of drugs abuse is the ability or the conditions of human who takes a drugs as necessity. I believe that excessive intake of drugs brings the brain down and i believe that it also damage brain

[amishmanish]

Youth are like plants at the prime of their growth and drugs are like pests which infects plants and eat away all the leaves.  Drugs ruin the brains and a large majority of drug abusers end up doing crime. Youth need to take up healthy habits like exercise and playing football than to waste away as a drug abuser

You said it all, the way some youths are influenced by their peer group they they don't think is bad. In this our days hard drugs are not seen as something bad because it is well taken by our young celebrities we watch on television,  this celebrities promote this drugs and since this young youth are fans of these celebrities they have no choice to embrace their life style.

[Tellek Garing]

Drug abuse is one of the course of insecurity the whole world is facing today and over 30% of the youth are involved in drug abuse. From north America to Africa and Asia we every day heard report of youth pushing drugs especially cocain and other dengerous substances that has affected their mind. If our society should develop ang then the youths most work on their mind and avoid drugging.

Those people who think that excessive intake of drugs his depression he does people who misuse drugs. I know that what the first person state that is very good cause some youths don't know what they put into their body. Drugs is not properly good to be consumed every time and do we use of our days is consuming drugs for another thing I think it is not normal so drugs damage many things which I cannot list at 4 now

[chexychukra]

Drug abuse is an absolutely scary thing. We should talk more to our children, show good movies like Requiem for a Dream and if it's nor enough make little excursions to the places where drug abusers live

Most people who abuse your drugs when you look at the percentages of those people it is confirmed that many of them are ignorant of drug importance. So will not stand to blend them much because they are ignorant of it they need adult education to educate them concerning the benefits which is the advantages and disadvantages of drugs misuse or drug abuse. Some of the others do take drugs in order to impress their mate.

The level of intake of drugs among our young ones in this present time, I don't think it is because of ignorant, most of the youth that takes drug excessively knows about the side effects and the negative side of drug bit they don't have much concern about it, it as if they don't believe in this side effects.

Sincerely our youths have engaged in taking different types of drugs and smokes and some of them sell this drugs to make money and taking most of this drugs affect most of them mentally which have lead to different crimes as stated  the drugs makes them feel as if they are above the law so they feel they can do what ever they want, and in another perspective some parents don’t really monitor there children all in the name of chasing dreams , please as parents we should also be attentive when it comes to children , we should be there friends also.

Make every drug legal and only sellable at government licensed shops.

Pulls out the criminal profits.

Booze was made illegal in USA in 1920's and 30's
 A fucking disaster just made a shit ton of rich violent crooks.

Booze abuse is far lower % wise in the USA today now that it is legal.

With all drugs legal the crime profit goes by by. Violence drops etc.

All other solutions won't work.

With drugs legal every car auto tests its driver to see if they are stoned.

Car accidents drop.

government makes tons of money on drug taxes.

Mob guys have to go back to other crime Ideas maybe hoes gambling and loans.

...

But it's mostly from the kids copying their parents who use and abuse medical drugs. Often the parents let the kids have some of their prescription drugs. Kids: If parents can do it, why can't we? And this goes on and on to the illegal drugs.

[Adbitco]

First anyone caught selling such high drugs should be jailed secondly Government should passes a judgement against anyone caught taking it or involved dealing with drugs. State and Provence should sanitized there region with thorough class and meet up talking about the effects on drugs consumption on our daily basis, parents at home should also take it as a lifestyle to check on the children basically ensure they makes good friends.
Its friends who keeps introducing hard drugs to each others but in a way such action is being taken it will reduce criminality, sexual harassments etc. Maybe if they found out that Government jailed Mr. A for Drug addicts or on Sexual harassment they will definitely change. Deeply inside, our parents have important rule to play and as has to be blame, most parents are so careless about their children commonly in West African country where they go for clubbing without properly questioning and monitoring.

[Mr.right85]

I think one of the major ways drugs gets to spread is by peer pressure. I tell you, no matter what one might be going through, if you weren't already exposed to drugs, your most likely to go through it without any of it but, having a pal that does drugs and seems to handle it good even while going through the same pressure as you do, it puts you in line to being an addict.
It happens in almost every field. Take the raster man for an example. Those in this line of music are often seen thing weed and out of misconception, it seems like a trademark for the ganja man.

Peer pressure does a lot in its promotion and it could also do a lot in solving it. Perhaps a pal could bug there pals on the menace and the damages these could result in there life. I think a repeated talks on this and the strick laws from the government on individuals caught with drugs could come by some effect of reduction.

[Die_empty]

Drug abuse has caused more harm than good. But the greatest challenge now is that most government officials are highly involved in drug trafficking making it very difficult to check. But the youths needs to be oriented about the effect of drug abuse and parents must ensure they monitor their children to ensure that they are not greatly influenced by negative peer group.

[jrrsparkles]

Fire the corrupted officers who is allowing all these things can be the long lasting solution because they take money and let the dealers to sell the drugs on parties,etc so we need the straight forward higher officials who is against all such activities and also in the political region so there will be no interventions for their disciplinary activities against the officials.

Legalize everything, that's my answer. I must say, I'm neither a lawyer nor a doctor, it's just my personal opinion based on what I read and see with my own eyes. Drug abuse is bad, no doubt about it, but so is alcohol abuse, tobacco abuse and many other things. Legalize drugs and you'll make them less attractive to the youth who always wants to do something illegal. Make broccoli illegal, and the youth will start using it more.

Following the same line of reasoning as you do, do you think countries that have laws that are tolerant of drug use or do not criminalize consumption have lower rates of consumption among young people? I don't have official statistics, but of course I don't think so, just as I don't think criminalizing drug use will solve the problem either.
The solution, in my opinion, is to raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse, through campaigns in the media and by supporting campaigns carried out by associations and non-governmental organizations. These campaigns should target all segments of society, including parents, as they are responsible for the activities of their children in adolescence and youth. Also, lessons about the dangers of addiction can be included in the secondary and university stages of all disciplines.
Houses of worship can also provide assistance by educating parents and advising them on how to act wisely if they discover that a child is using narcotics.

Correct,  most of our government officials are into drig business that's is why drugs can't be abolished in our society,  their is a country that their presidential elections will be coming up soon. One of the presidential aspirant is a drug lord, this is something everyone knows and before he has be holding a top political position in the state.

[Lordhermes]

Youths and drugs are like five and six these days,the rate at which our youths are taking drugs now is something that the government need to do something about.ThankGod for the measure at which government have handled some,because there are some drugs now that are very expensive,and the customers that do consume it have given up on buying it because if it's cost.

But for other ones that are still being consumed largely,if the government should increase the prices like that,there is every tendency that the rate at which people consume it will reduce,it will be only the rich that will be able to take it.

Government won't stop drugs in the society. Drug plants in some  countries serves as natural resources to them,  this plants can be use in making many other things. As far as drug exist as plants and something natural,  the society will have access and make use of it for different purposes.

[348Judah]

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Drugs abuse can be the causes to many detriments in human health, social vises and many moral misconduct that's affecting the society date, this is why parents are to be very careful in training the moral upbringings of their wards at home, because many marital challenges and society disturbances erupted from the ooor upbringings from various home amd such they constitute nuisance to add up the the challenges facing the community, we must train our children and advise our youths right, because i fish can only bends while it is still fresh, once it dried up then there's no remedy to that.

You are absolutely right. Some officers are also contributing towards to the movement of hard drugs. They probably takes bribe and allow the flow of drugs from the dealer to the consumer. No doubt, Drugs have basically done more harm to the youth. It is known as the cause of some health issues such as brain damage, reduces appetite, stroke etc. However, how do a country intent to produce good leader, if it youth keep engaging in hard drugs? We have to start creating awareness about the effect of hard drugs.

Drug abuse is causing more harm on youth than good and if this continues with the government intervention or parental care and support then in the next few years coming the youth will be more of miserable set of people sitting on the seat of different government positions causing harm on the new generations coming. We need to avoid anything drugs so we might stay safe all the time.

[Spontaneous]

  Yes, I think drugs can cause harmful for every youth once the abuse of using drugs. But they never think on what they take in every day like any supplement , vitamins, and maintenance that still contains drugs. Only youth who'd  like to commit themselves into a drug addict and encounter a crime. There's nothing about drugs it's about people how to use it.

One thing people don't actually know about drugs,  people think is something they can take for the first time and it won't have influence over them, so immediately they take it foe the first time it seems so difficult for then to stop it. Drugs comes first in their life , that they would prefer to to buy drugs first than to get foods or medicines. 

[Crpyto hunter]

What causes drugs abuse to the youth it the level of understanding they've with one another,
they way the keep their company in other to have freedom in the society orh in the community, it comes when different kinds of friends come in the society orh education standard were parent are allowing their children to to live with someone the do no, this will come as a result of the child been drug by friends,
Environment due spoil the youth, a child who will come out from a good home will see him/her self been in a bad environment that will lead to spoil the carrier, and some of them due drug without having food to eat🤒🤒🤒, it might cause from the parents who will do this in front of their childrens, when it above the standard they might take it comes to be a harmful to the body,  that may lead to robbery and many other things they will not even no.
That why the government have to stop it because people who do the research comes out to tell it affect the body and the organ.

[Asiska02]

I'll say it again and again: peer groups have a significant influence on drug use. These have occurred to a close friend and I have seen them several times. Your behavior in society is always determined by the peer group of friends you associate with. My friend had issues in school and had to switch to a different line of study from ours, so he stopped moving with us. His new pals in the other department were drug users who had an influence on him and transformed him; as a result, he became addicted to drugs and came to view them as a normal way of life. Since we share a street, he can't take them once we get home together during breaks, but because of his addiction, we weren't as close as we once were at this time. But now that he has finished school and no longer has access to those substances, he is living a normal life, and we are getting along fine again.

Peer group is a big influence why youth take drugs . It is impossible to be friends with some set of  people who take drug and not join them to take drugs. Peer group is influence,  then environment can also contribute when their is no good parental care for children.

The way parents should approach our kids matters alot when advising them to do right thing. Most children don't take take advise when it is coming in hard way or rough tone. Children tend accept fact and accept when are not hard on them. Parents needs to learn and understand to make children agree to facts.

For the youths effects can cause damage there mental health  that's why all of us  be   ware to our teenagers every family....to avoid and  they will not go in a wrong way thier life.
The important things is to  teach them how and what are the causes so that they will aware all youths not to use any drugs .

I think this topic is way larger than the youths is limited to as, not only youths do drugs or abuse drugs.
A good number of adults do this too. Also forthe same ideas as the youths. To suppress what ever they feel it's bordering them, others might be just because they like the feeling while others could need it to carry out some difficult and inhuman job, not excluding armed rubbery.

Drug abuse speaks largely about dosage been used in an improper way and its a huge problem as, it has both immediate and long term adverse effects on individuals and a society.

there are a lot of things which are destructive and drug is one of them

[Ripe_berry]

Drugs when abused serves as stumbling blocks to positive ambitions. Government, communities and parents have alot to do to curb drug abuse. But the work should start from parent because charity begins at home. Parents must have an idea of these drugs that are abused, the effects of the drugs including the signs and symptoms exhibited by people who abuse drugs. They also need to observant, create time for heart to heart discussions with their children as this will enable them observe they closely, avoid stigmatization and been high handed that could harden the hearts of their children who are victims of drug abuse but rather develop and provide a compassionate grounds for corrections .
The community also has alot to do because it serves as the environment where the abusers grow up. The community has to work hand in hand with the parents and the government to make sure that the strategies mapped out can be achieved. they can do this by giving approval for  interventions to be held, volunteering there facilities, personnels and resources to initiate change.
The government on the other hand should to mention a few enforce laws that will ban or restrict drugs illicit drugs and  empower agencies that will do so inoder to prevent bribery.

The effects of drugs abuse on youths  is  the number one can destroyed thier  healths.Drugs can use to human illnes ..  But big mistake if applied and used it in dosage and using without knowlegde.
For the youths effects can cause damage there mental health  that's why all of us  be   ware to our teenagers every family....to avoid and  they will not go in a wrong way thier life.
The important things is to  teach them how and what are the causes so that they will aware all youths not to use any drugs .

Drug has great influence that it won't be easy for one to stop taking it. I believe people who are addicted to drugs are aware that too much in take of drugs is not good for the body,  but because of the influence in drug they can't just totally quit taking of drugs. People are aware drugs is bad but they still don't care about the result.

I have heard that now these days many youngsters are taking drugs and it is making them crazy
sometime it lead to very horrible situation and they dont even know what they are doing. Later when they come back in their senses they deny that they have done this crime
Is this correct?

[Tallupooh]

Drugs are often misused by teenagers. To prevent that, we must educate them from an early age, so that when they are teenagers, they will know that blaming drug use is not allowed, and will only harm themselves and others.

But sometimes there are many teenagers who are stressed about their lives, so they vent their emotions by trying drugs. Until they are addicted and fatal.

[Maestro75]

Make every drug legal and only sellable at government licensed shops.

This idea will work better than any other suggested. Once it is made legal like cigarettes and alcohol, people will not hide to buy them and those who buy and use it will be common knowledge to those around them. Apart from generating direct tax for government, it will also enable parents and the neighborhood ability to monitor those who are into it and know when they are going off board in behaviour so they can be reported easily for appropriate action.

the youths are must affected by drugs, out of 10 youths ,7 are into drugs . It's a global challenge, because the future of every countries are lies in the youths. It's very necessary to speak against drugs abuse Among the youths.Because if nothing is done as a matter of utmost importance, the future of our youths would be threatened.  Drugs abuse causes health issues, injury, death and academic backwardness among youths. So tell me why the Government should  legalise illicit drugs?

[uchegod-21]

Make every drug legal and only sellable at government licensed shops.

A nice idea, un additional to that, the prices of the drugs should be high and alternatives which are not drugs should be subsidised. This will discourage people from going into drugs.
A government should be able to employ the youths, it is idleness that makes mind begin to conceive bad things or begin to meet with par groups. When everyone has something doing, they will pay less attention to drugs.
Again, the law enforcement agents should be trained and strengthened to fight against drugs.

[Gallar]

it is undeniable that drugs are a challenge for parents, to prevent their children from falling into it,
there are many ways that can be done to prevent children away from drugs,

- educate children to be good people from small
- teach children how to choose good friends
- parents should be closer to their children, so that they know their children's interactions
- Also teach children what drugs are, the dangers of drugs and the side effects of drugs.

I think this topic is way larger than the youths is limited to as, not only youths do drugs or abuse drugs.
A good number of adults do this too. Also forthe same ideas as the youths. To suppress what ever they feel it's bordering them, others might be just because they like the feeling while others could need it to carry out some difficult and inhuman job, not excluding armed rubbery.

Many of these drugs prohibit and cannot be traded in their country, but there are several countries that legalize the circulation of drugs such as the example of Canada which legalized in 2018 and it's no wonder the Canadian government openly legalizes it, with this I don't really understand with the side effect that young people consume drugs, but what I know is that drugs not only damage the body and can also damage our brains.

[Majestic-milf]

It's bad to know that something can kill you but you happily indulge in it. Asides from making one feel "high" as some believe it helps with confidence, it tends to leave one looking unkempt.

 Some become mentally exhausted and inactive when they've come down from that high. It's not just the government which has a role to play, but also the family and even the individual, because I've seen youths who came out from God fearing homes but when introduced to the society, become uncontrollable due to  peers and lack of self control.

Coming from a godly home is not a guarantee that a child will stay away from drugs or illegal things, a home can be godly but lack discipline.  I have seen people who don't belong to any religion but are very discipline to do what is right.  It is not a matter of been Godly. If a child is taught how to be discipline the child will know the right things to do.

Most people who want to try it do so out of curiosity or after being persuaded by their friends. That is why our parents always tell us to leave our friends who are a bad influence on us, because our parents knew what they would bring to us. Despite this, some of us became stubborn. The government will always conduct a drug awareness campaign, as well as activities for youth such as basketball and other activities that keep those youth busy in their lives and prevent using drugs.

[DaNNy001]

Drug abuse has caused so many effect on the youths of nowadays,making them behave in an abnormal way.it also lead to the dead of our youths for as many as those who have chose to abuse drugs in one way or the other.
Our youths engage in illegal acts,criminality,robbery and other activities because of the wrong way in which they abuse or misuse drugs.

You are correct that drugs have affected many youths but not only youths do drugs as drugs have been seen to taken by adults too in an abusive way and use for different purposes there are not meant for. Many people nowadays take or do drugs for many reasons which are not worth it.

For young adults, drugs have been turned to a panacea that forsees all their depression, emotional and social instability in the course of their everyday life.  Many youths abuse  or go into drugs as a result of peer group influence and it has done more harm than good to them.  you know as a young boy growing up , their is a particular stage when one start getting to try out new things and explore beyond his or her boundaries which is going as far as taking or trying new substance they are introduced to.  

Drugs especially hard drugs has great effect on youth in this age as alot of the youths have addict on these drugs they are taking.

[Mate2237]

Many of you don't understand the conceptual frame work of drugs abuse. Drugs abuse is not the excess use of drugs only but also using drugs out of doctors prescription. Therefore if I am not mistaking, 99% of people making comment in this thread are also guilty of the crime. People buy drugs and used them without seeing a doctor. That is, you have abused drugs.

Many people abuse drugs because of the attitude of doctors. Doctors delay the process treatment so for one not to have serious pain from the sickness because of doctors' delay, patient went straight to any pharmacy or chemist and bought whatever they want and took it.

[mvdheuvel1983]

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Drug abuse among the youth is or should be a public health concern. There is a role for the government, communities, and even families can play in Curbing this addiction. I will focus on the role off parents. Parents should start on time to talk to their kids about the dangers of getting addicted to drugs. As a matter of fact, they should take their kids to rehabilitation centres for them to see the effect of drug abuse on a person. By so doing their kids would have gotten a real-life practical example of the dangers of getting addicted to drugs.

In an effort to reduce youth drug abuse, parents, communities, the government, and NGOs have all made significant efforts. The Youths, however, do not assist themselves. Even if drug use negatively impacts their health and wellness, they will never stop. So many young people have already dropped out of school due to drug use; many have died and others are in mental hospitals. However, a lot of people use drugs every day. It's so dangerous that parents shouldn't point the finger, but they should continue to warn their kids about the effects of drugs.

Governments, parents and other organizations are helping each other, well, in fact, they already help some people addicted to drugs, but the problem is that it is too few than those who use or are addicted to drugs. I am sure parents always tell their children, but the influence of bad friends will be the problem. Well, in the Philippines, I don't know if you heard it in the past administration (sensitive topic), but because of the steps of the president to lessen or remove drugs in the country, a lot of killings happen, and a lot of people go to jail which is also lead to only fewer to non-selling drugs in the country, but still it continues but at least it lessen than the previous years.

[Majestic-milf]

If a child is taught how to be discipline the child will know the right things to do.

My point exactly. Sometimes, coming from a Christian home does not necessitate that an individual won't be prone to such devises but it's a matter of self control and morals being taught one.

 From observations, individuals who indulge in these acts are people who are often neglected and emotionally unsafe and as such, become liabilities not just to their selves, families but to the society.

[Dunamisx]

This life can be easy only if we do things that can be helpful to ourselves and not to our detriments, the power in addiction is that it's uneasy to stop it once it has been developed in human, isn't it good to get addicted to the better things of life that will give a better future, good health and longevity of life than starting an investment that will only cut the life short just because of the carelessness that could have been avoided since childhood or before it got over us, discipline is one of the ways to curb this, dont even start at all anything that will be regrettable later in life, drugs kills and shortens life.

[Merit.s]

The turn down in the world economy is alarming and is leaving the youths with no option than to go more into drugs. In my country as corruption increases,that is how the rate of drugs intake also increases.So many people that have been frustrated by the situation they find themselves will end up involving in drugs thinking it will console them from the harsh situation they are passing through. The government should continue with drug abuse awareness program to sensitize the youths about its bad effect, they should also provide jobs to engage these youths who are jobless and frustrated. Frustration can lead to engagement in drug activities.

[Wolfblood200$]

I think nothing Created by God is wrong  , everything created in the beginning was created for the comfort and benefit of mankind  , the Holy book also said that we should be modest in all we do, meaning  ,when we over do, use or take things it becomes a problem to us and the society at large,
Eating food is very good but over feeding is dangerous  , just as no drug is bad but when it is taken without a  genuine medical cause and also taken without a doctor's prescription then it becomes an abuse,

The government should ensure that in all learning institution  ,the effects of drug abuse should be enlightened to the students,  every now and then in order to educate them of what would become of them if they abuse drugs.

Government should also enact policies that will ensure that no youth should be idle and create free counseling units to help talk youths out of depression.  Thanks

[Merit.s]

Drug abuse has been the major problem that leads to crime in the society by youths. Government should have drug abuse programs to sanitize the youths about its effects and implications to their lives. Some of these youth are been influenced by their peer groups into drugs and when they become an addict to it,they do so many evil things just to satisfy their urge. The society is increasing everyday with more youths going into drugs and this cause for alarm. High rate of unemployment and corruption has also added to this problem.

[Major Tom]

To address the issue of drug abuse and related problems among youth, it is important for the government, communities, and parents to work together to implement policies and programs that educate young people about the dangers of drug abuse, create a supportive environment for young people, and address the underlying causes of drug abuse and related problems. It is also important to involve young people in the design and implementation of programs and initiatives, and to coordinate a sustained and comprehensive effort to address the issue.

[HajiBagi]

Youth drug abuse has become a significant issue for many nations and has turned many of them into criminals. This situation has also resulted in a significant number of youth deaths some major problems that lead the youth to drugs abuse are poor self-image, low religiosity, poor school performance, parental rejection, family dysfunction, abuse, over-controlling by parents, and divorce .In my opinion not only the government can stop the drugs abuse of the youth, the parents can also do as well but the government should give the NDLEA more authority so they can conduct better investigations in society and look into the neighborhood pharmacies because this is typically where mostly the illegal drugs are kept.

[Newlifebtc]

I think that we should invest in more education and awareness campaigns, especially in schools, to teach kids about the dangers of drug abuse and how to make healthier choices.

the only way that we can teach people the remedy to stop abusing drugs is 2 law enforcement by bringing military or introducing military to whoever the find drones into it and it will undergo a punishment so I believe that this is only measure that we being young adults can be able the free app is not drugs educational system can teach the advantages of drug abuse but the society would believe it or obey the educational method of knowledge

[ololajulo]

Nearly 60% of youths are prone to drug abuse and are been influenced by peers group ,who make them indulge in this act ,this makes the youth have a higher ratio of drug addiction ,this is why they dominate a higher population at the correctional centers facilities, mental homes facilities,prison facilities due to drug influence reaction.
There have been increase in the cases of rape ,robbery ,homocides,depression, suicide, gang fight and this cases have shown a large number of youth engagement in this crimes.
Increase in domestic abuse ,marriages are caused by this drugs influence and anger management problem faced by many of this youths ,both male and female gender.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Legalize everything, that's my answer. I must say, I'm neither a lawyer nor a doctor, it's just my personal opinion based on what I read and see with my own eyes. Drug abuse is bad, no doubt about it, but so is alcohol abuse, tobacco abuse and many other things. Legalize drugs and you'll make them less attractive to the youth who always wants to do something illegal. Make broccoli illegal, and the youth will start using it more.

I don't agree that legalizing drugs will make them less attractive to and reduce usage by adolescents. Instead, I believe that a significant factor contributing to adolescent drug use is the new trend in parenting that emphasizes early independence for children, leading them to become rebellious. I think parents should guide their children to avoid dangerous situations, but not to punish them for making decisions that could harm themselves out of ignorance. Research has shown that the majority of drug addictions begin before the age of 25, and legalizing drugs could provide an alternative for them to obtain drugs more easily. Therefore, we need to approach the issue of drug addiction with caution and consider all possible ramifications.

Drugs have many effects so I believe that the efforts of drugs are mini so if we fail to take a proper care of herself will end up on landing for the negative side of it so I believe and what you need to do on Ross is to no exactly the thing that we are doing concerning it and try to educate people or to our visit any longer because I'm using the office what really damaged some people's Life start today

[Lordhermes]

Visit the hospital,prison and cell. You will know what drugs has done to young people, 67% in hospital, prison and police cell are there because of drugs related issues. Drugs causes a lot of damages to the society. Young people are victim of drugs abuse, they take it for so many reasons best known to them. But we must speak against it daily. Because it has cause more harms than good.

[rahmad2nd]

Drugs have become a global problem that affects many aspects of life, including health, social and economy. Moreover, the younger generation is a group that is vulnerable to drug abuse. Drug use in adolescence can affect their growth and development, both physically and mentally. many drug users are initially tempted to feel pleasure for a moment or escape from the problems they face. In fact, the effects of drugs can harm physical and mental health.

Adolescence is a problem of finding oneself, when children have unstable feelings. the fact is that drugs can cause damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, and other organs. This damage can be permanent and affect a person's quality of life throughout his life. Drugs also have a negative effect on behavior and social interactions. Well, due to the rise of drug abuse by teenagers, prevention is needed. Prevention can be done through promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitation and repressive efforts. in short, these efforts are not only carried out by the government. at the very least, an anti-drug campaign is needed. also, involving all elements of society, including the role of parents.

Despite the war on drugs, drugs continues to be the problem of our world as we have it.
Sometimes you wonder, what really is the main base that promotes drug trades?

Is it the drug traffickers or
The end users.

The users actually are the market and so long as there is a market, your always going to have people willing to provide yet another rear and high cost product.
The people who are the market believes that drugs is bad but still, why do they still wish it upon themselves or go ahead to do drugs.
Why escape a feeling for a few hours when it's sure to hit you back after some time. It's just unexplainable!

Today in the society you discover children under the age of eighteen years old being involved in all manners of social vices such as drug abuse, sexual harrasment, rape, gambling addiction, stealing and lackadaisical attitude to learn the right thing and develop interest of going to school, they easily got exposed to the bad things of life than the good because they they believe they environment they lived in is their final bus stop in life, but we have the individuals decision to choose how we want our lives to be regardless of our background.

Drugs become they escape right now for the stress and the poverty that youths experiencing right now. Based on news also, some of the youths get involve on drugs not only using it but selling it to for their needs everyday. Abusing drugs has lots of bad effect, one is its affect their mind, they cant think properly on what is wrong and right as they used so much of it. To the point that they can do crime without hesitation, only they will realized once they are in jail and get calm already.

Government has lots of program and warning about drugs, sometimes its still the choice of the youth. I guess what needs to improve is the security, to chase and get those abuser so that others wont do the same thing when they saw the consequences that they may face when they get caught using it.

Environment is the major factor that influences youth to involved in all this social vices.
A child that is grown in a ghetto where everybody smokes and drinks.
Where gambling is seen as a normal thing. Where all manner of hard drugs are taken. That very child will grow up and continue taking all those hard drugs believing that it is a real way of life.
Before he would understand that he is not in the right lane. It would be late for him and by then it might have turned into addiction. Government has a very important role to play by making sure the standard of living of her citizens is okay and also enforcing laws to avoid drug abuse.
