Drug addiction means a strong attraction for taking harmful drugs. These drugs include opium, heroin, hashish, yaba, phenyl etc. When a person takes them, he gets excited and loses control over himself.

Drug addiction is now a global problem. This social cancer has spread its poisonous claw all over the world. Frustration is the cause of this addiction. Unemployment problem, political cataclysm, lack of family ties, lack of love affection etc give rise to frustration. Again this addiction gives rise to social crimes. When the addicted can not afford to buy drugs, they commit many kinds of social crimes like hijacking, looting, plundering killing, robbery etc. Drugs bear a terrible effect on the human body. They kill them slowly but surely. No physician can stop the changes that take place in the body of a drug addict. Drug addicted people feel drowsy, lose appetite and sleep. The skin of their bodies begins to change its colour. Drugs also damage the brain and all internal function of the body.

However, this curse should not be allowed to go on unchecked. At any cost, we must get rid of this social cancer by highlighting its dangerous effect on the human body and society. The remedy for drug addiction is not very easy. The greed of drug traders has grasped the whole world. The drug business is punishable and the highest punishment is the death sentence in Bangladesh. This law must be enforced immediately. Our young generation must be aware of the dire consequence of drug abuse. Parents must be careful of their treatment of children. Feelings of security under loving parents may hinder children from being victims of drugs. Religious and social values must be taught from early childhood. When each and every person is sincere to drive this curse of drug addiction from society, human beings can get rid of it.
