I wrote this article on 26 June but because of my internet problem, I wasn't able to post it. Sorry for being late.

International Day for Prevention of Drug Abuse and Trafficking is observed every year on June 26, around the world, including in Pakistan. In a show of commitment to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the objective of a drug-free international society, it was decided to celebrate this day by resolution in the Un General Assembly on 7th December 1987.

Awareness of the problem is raised by individuals, communities, and various organizations around the world, and it is emphasized that health care needs to be ensured for everyone. According to the World Drug Report 2021 of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the number of drug addicts worldwide is about 275 million, while more than 36 million people suffer from drug abuse disorders.

Worldwide, many hundred thousand people die annually from the use of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, cannabis, ice, crystal meth, and other narcotics. Between 2010 and 2019, the number of drug abuse increased by 22%, due to the increase in the global population. Drug use is on the rise in the world but it is also possible to treat it.

Based on demographic changes alone, according to current estimates, the number of people using drugs globally is expected to increase by 11% by 2030, while Africa is expected to grow by 40% due to the rapidly growing young population. According to global estimates, about 5.5% of the population between the ages of 15 and 64 used drugs at least once in 2020, while 36.3 million people, or 13% of the total number of drug addicts suffer from drug abuse.

It is estimated that more than 11 million people globally use drugs by injection, half of whom are living with hepatitis C. Habitat drugs (Opioids) such as opium and vaccines account for the largest share of drug use diseases.

According to the report, those using fast new platforms with technological innovation for the sale of drugs and other substances are likely to enter the global market with a smart and adaptable approach, where all drugs will be available and accessible everywhere. In turn, it can trigger rapid changes in drug use and have a public health impact.

Drugs are being delivered to people through contactless methods for rapidly increasing the transmission of illegal drugs in the global market, increase in the number of land and waterways used for smuggling, and overuse of private aircraft for drug trafficking and delivery.

Right now in my country

According to a report by the United Nations Agency for Drugs, more than 7 million people in Pakistan are addicted to drugs. The country is on the rise in the use of chemical drugs, including heroin, cocaine, and ice. The rate of drug use is higher in urban populations as compared to villages. Drugs worth billions of rupees are used every year across the country. Drug addicts belong to every class.

Even students from schools, colleges, and universities (aged between 13 and 25 years) are suffering from drug abuse. Over the past few years, young people have appeared to be more prone to ice-like dangerous, and life-threatening addictions. This drug called ice or crystal is made from methamphetamine chemicals. Addicts also inject ice into the body through injections. In this regard, it is important to know the causes of increasing anxiety and depression among the youth as well as their carelessness.

In addition, they can be prevented from developing this addiction by encouraging them to have healthy activities. In this regard, political and religious parties, social organizations, educational institutions, and parents as well as others from the media, doctors, and medical sector stake a duty.

How to give up on drugs?

Giving up the drug habit is a very difficult and painful process for drug addicts to give it up. 10 to 15 days are for detoxification, but this may be more in terms of types of intoxication. During this period, it is very difficult for some people to bear the pain, so they also have suicidal thoughts in their minds.

Treatment

Treatment is carried out after going through this stage, in which the victim is psychologically observed and supported. Such people have to live thoughtfully, usually very angry, and take small things into their minds, and then they are once again attracted to drugs by pretending to be the same things.

My message

Drug addiction destroys the young generation and when the young generation is on drugs so country automatically faces bad results in the form of low progress and a lack of talent. So we should play our role in keel young people away from drug addiction and spread awareness about its long-lasting side effects on the human body and society.

Thanks for your time!
