Drugs
abuse can be destructive and impact our society heavily with its misuse. Certain Change the noun form
Drug
drugs
are useful to cure many diseases whereas
they make people
addicted. The addiction costs them huge and sometimes even with their life. A few people
believe that legalising the substance brings them under control
but I disagree with this
statement.
Firstly
, Overdose or excess of anything is harmful and Drugs
misuse is dangerous not only to the person consuming it but Change the noun form
Drug
also
to society as well. Legalising the substance will cause a huge problem for society as the substance would be easily available and consumption will increase. An increase in consumption will lead to more customers and addiction. For instance
, In India, a drug was legally named Corax, a medicine used to cure cough which contains alcohol. People
got to know and started taking it in excessive amounts and falling sick instead
of cure.
Secondly
, Legalising will help its easy production or import and companies will be getting huge profit out of it. They will find ways to breach the limit in control
policies. For example
, A drug named Affeem was produced in some states of India but under the control
of the government. Those states have strong policies to control
the selling through only selected channels Still the drug is easily available in the market and people
consume more than the allowed quantity which results in bad health and risk of life.
In conclusion, considering the above statements and examples I strongly believe that the government should impose an entire ban on such
substances for sale in public. These drugs
can be used for the treatment of the patient only under the control
of senior doctors.Submitted by hiteshpaul on
