Drug addiction is not only a national but also a global problem. The drug addiction has grasped the young generation of our country. The drugs are very expensive and young boys can't arrange money.
Drug addiction is a curse of modern civilization. Frustration is the cause of this addiction. When there is no hope left for the young people, they take drugs. Drugs have a terrible effect on human body. The addicts feel intensive pain. The treatment of the drug addicts is expensive and difficult.
In Bangladesh the drug problem has become acute. Thousands of families in cities, towns and even rural areas are directly or indirectly affected by it. In the above circumstances, all concerned must create awareness at personal and family levels against the dangerous impact of drug addiction among the youth.
Drug abuse affects the brain and body directly. While high, the drug affects the entire body, from blood pressure to heart rate. Stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamine “amp up” the body, increasing blood pressure, metabolism and reducing the ability to sleep. Drugs like opiates and barbiturates slow down the body, reducing blood pressure, breathing and alertness, at times to dangerous levels.
Sadly, drug abuse and addiction affects not only the person abusing drugs. It affects friends, family and entire society.
Parents must be careful about their treatment to children. If each and every individual is sincere about banishing this curse of drug addiction from society, we can get rid of it.
