1- strong governmental and political willingness to stop production, and distribution of drugs.2- Drug addiction is a As worst as Terrorism, so, Iocal and regional authorities must prioritize this problem with all possible power. 3- punishment for adductors and distributors and producers must be strict and strong enough to make examples to all. 4- No medical conditions require use of such drugs, so, no lethargy in implementation of laws.

Youngsters who are into this should be given more attention. People around them can actually help them the most. They should be given more tasks to keep them occupied, so that they can spend their time away from drugs. More interaction is also good key to go to the root cause of their addiction to this slow poison for the society. DRUG FREE INDIA IS NEW FREE INDIA.

It is a normal human tendency that, the more you put restriction, people will try to escape it with more severely. As an example, people with less money use Dendrite as a drug. So, we need to educate people about its bad effects in school and anganwadi. And simultaneously, more rehabilitation centers to be created. However, more strict vigil is required over the drug peddlers. Narcotics department can increase their network by including NGOs in circle.

1. give them something better to do! 2. many a times it starts out as fun and end up badly. just because its banned, some people want to try the forbidden fruit. 3. be open while tackling drug related problem. The more we hide it, more people go into it. People should be made aware of the other side, that can go wrong.

Make strict law and action on drug seller. Overheard saying that local medical store itself sell drugs.Police know where the drug supply is done and who is the seller. Give very good recognition and promotion to the inspector and police who act and catch drug sellers. Develop a system where one can openly inform these wrong things without revealing identity.

Think about what other things in life you can achieve such as activities that are more fulfilling than drugs. Maybe investing in a career, or practicing an instrument. Drugs can destroy family ties, so spend time strengthening bonds with your family and friends. Think about the compliments received from utilizing your skills, the rewards of pursuing an interesting career, or how much your new found self-esteem really means to you. Write down your goals and tick each goal as you achieve it.

Drugs are most consumed in premier institutions like IITs & NITs. I knew few students from these institutions who used to take drugs. And most shocking thing for me was that drugs were easily available to them also students studying in KOTA are getting in contact with this. But when I asked them why you do this some of them said they do it for fun or show off and some of them did this because of the overload of studies or frustrated from some faculty of college who used to burden them with lots
