Almost 90% of the world’s harmful drugs are produced in these regions. This position of our country has made it vulnerable to be a transit for trafficking of drugs. Besides, Bangladesh has a very large border with India where phensidyl, tidigesic etc. are hugely produced and can be easily transported inside. All these have made drugs available to the users which is the main cause of drug addiction in our country.

iii) Moral degradation: With the introduction of Satellite TV Channels, alien cultures have been eroding age-old moral values. Lack of proper education in everyday life. As a result, they many youths are inclined to inclined to imitate the so-called fast life and take drugs as a symbol of status.

Consequences of drug addiction: The use of illegal drugs and crime go hand in hand. The addicts do anything to obtain drugs. Crimes most frequently committed by drug users  are pick pocketing, theft, robbery, extortion, prostitution, public nuisance and drug-peddling. In family and personal level, violence, family disruption and health problems are consequences of drug addiction. Drugs may cause long term damage to brain, heart and lungs. The most devastating problem associated with drug use is the spread of HIB. On the other hand, initially the addicts feel drowsy and loose appetite. But with days going on, they become dependent on drugs. They cannot but increase the dose and frequency of taking drugs. The ultimately leads on addict to death.

Measures undertaken regarding drug addiction: The government has taken various steps for supply and demand reduction of drugs. Supply reduction steps include monitoring and inspection, intelligence and enforcement, crop eradication etc. On the other hand, demand reduction steps include prevention, education, treatment, rehabilitation etc. Some NGOs and private organizations are also working in this sector.

Conclusion: The conscious part of the society along with the govt. realizes the gravity of the problems of drug addiction. All are also trying to play their due roles in this regard. But the harsg reality is that, drug addicts in the country are increasing alarmingly. No , doubt, the fight against drug is a multi-disciplinary task and organizations from all concerned fields must join this. But at the same time we must ensure proper moral education for all.
