International
Day against Drug Abuse
The
International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a
United Nations International Day against drug abuse and the illegal
drug trade. It is observed annually on 26 June. It is a day to remind
people of the danger of drugs.
Drug
abuse not just ruin a person's life but also affect the future of
society and country.
The
responsibility of combating drug abuse and illicit trafficking must
not be solely on the shoulder of enforcement authority but everyone
from individual, family and friends to school should play a part in
the effort.
Drug
abuse is like a chronic disease, it slowly ruins a person health even
to the extent of brain damage.
There
have been many cases of physical violence related to mental illness
caused by drug abuse happening from time to time.
Access
to drug has become very convenient in this online age. As such, it is
extremely important to tackle the problem at the root i.e. education.
Children need to be taught on the danger of drugs.
If
everyone is having a common stand and awareness on drug, our country
will be free from the threat of drug abuse and illicit trafficking.
Let’s put our act together to combat drug abuse.
