Devastating Consequence of Drug Addiction

Hasan Mahmud, Dhaka, 10 January: Drug addiction has become a great nuisance in Bangladesh. A large number of people especially the young generation are getting addicted to drugs like morphine, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, yaba, etc. Frustration is the main cause of this drug addiction. Failure in love, unemployment, political unrest, social unrest, family conflict, lack of family ties, lack of love and affection etc. are greatly responsible for it.

Mainly the young boys and girls are the victims of drug addiction. Nowadays they are found taking drugs everywhere in the streets, in parks and even in the educational institutions. The number of them is on the rise. It is learnt that most of them start to take drugs at their very teenage. They do not try to realize the severe consequences of drug addiction. When they realize, it is too late. Then they want to shirk of the habit, but they cannot.

The worst thing is that when these drug addicts do not get money to buy drugs, they become ferocious. They misbehave with their parents. Sometimes they become terrorists and get involved in various antisocial activities. They try to manage money for buying drugs by committing crimes like kidnapping, hijacking, and committing robbery.

The final consequence of drug is very devastating. It causes death by severe affliction and suffering. However, people expect that the government as well as the conscious citizens will come forward to get rid of this curse of drug addiction.
