Specific causes of drug addiction are not known, but genetic, psychological and environmental factors are thought to play a significant role. Govt must take immediate steps to prevent the easy availability of drugs, The powerful nexus between the supplier and the taker needs to be broken. Exemplary and quick punishment MUST be meted out quickly.Special courts need to be set up and investigative Authorites should probe the police role at the thana level who turn a blind eye for monetary gain.

Sir , The current Generation and earlier one are too much influenced by Wester culture thru TV and online media . That I think has completed taken them away from our traditonal values which teaches use to differentiate Good and bad . All these are part of our Greate Epic of Ramayan and Mahabharat. So , I feel , we should introuduce both of these epic in Media in prime time and remove all unwanted program. Youngster need right direction and this country can't allow this country losses its value.

Initially to stop everyone should show their I'd of legal age before buying. this law must come. And please stop new law of purchase cigarettes. If smoker by packet he or she will smoke more. If they by lose cigarette they smoke less. The profits goes to both companies and retail shopper too. If they buy packet the real profit goes to companies directly. Or els please stop cigarette from India. It may be a trick of companies to create more sale. i am saying this because I am a smoker.

Check the easy availability of drugs. There is also the need to channelise the energy of youth. Games and sports should be encouraged. Glorification of smoking and binging in visual media should be discouraged or banned because it effects the young, impressionable minds adversely.

Hon. Prime Minister should encourage students in his next "Man ki Baat" to practice meditation. That will eliminate the need for drugs, because meditation produces a natural " high" of peace and bliss. It repaires the damage done to the nervous system by drugs. Side benefits are increased intelligence, creativity, better health, moral reasoning and self confidence. All religions support meditation in some form. A secular scientifically tested system of meditation could be taught in schools.

Illegal opium cultivation is rampant in many parts of our country because of huge returns from them. Hence govt should support the farmers financially by giving them secured jobs so that they do not switch over yo opium cultivation. Once the source of drugs is contained, then the supply in the market will automatically come down.
