Generally,ppl get tempted to Drugs due to following reasons (i)Having bad psych experience (negative social,economic,interpersonal situations)(ii)Thinking of it as a fashion.V cn take steps for 2 spheres of our society;ppl who are already into drug addiction and ppl/children/youth who can be vulnerable to this menace. For the former(already into drug addiction or drug trafficking) v hv laws n those shud b strictly applied. For the later, from poor or rich homes pictorial education cn hv effect.

Our country is yet to achieve independence not from British from IGNORANCE(children and adults suffer from this equally). INTELLECTUAL IGNORANCE causing our schools and colleges to deliver insufficient knowledge. SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE producing violence, crime and divorces. Can't a newborn baby be born in this country which provides good environment to grow up? Popularise sayings THIRUKURRAL(TAMIL), VEMANA PADYALU(TELUGU), such moral sayings existed in every culture, language in all partsof india

- Create legal awareness campaigns in all colleges and communities having history of drug addicts. - Reform drug trafficking laws that enunciates stricter actions and punishments than mere fine amount. - Mandate high-schools and colleges to play documentaries during induction programmes; documentaries that portray ill-effects of drug abuse and its legal complications to instill fear and prevent ignorance of drugs.

Our country produced great buddhist monks who changed the troublesome bad habits. Buddha changed the notorious 'Angulimala' in to a monk of compassion and realization. It is through truth, non-violence, advocating powerful realization of true nature of being, thoughts, mind and control and the dynamics of life in depth. Today our society needs revival of real spiritual as well as practical thoughts and dynamics. It is through regaining and studying our lost treasure of buddhist moral books

1) Spiritual and religious text must be included in the school syllabus, 2) Meditation class must be encouraged among the students to control their minds and think free from drugs and other bad habits, 3) Special programs or seminars must be promoted through Art of Living or Brahmakumaris which I have seen giving motivational thoughts to young students, 4) School should adopt drug free environment, 5) Teacher-parents meet with students must be regular routine in schools.

The families who toil hard to earn sufficient money for their livelihood, their family members do not take to drugs / alcoholism. More worthwhile jobs to people will reduce such menace in the society.
