Hasan Mahmud, Dhaka, 05 April: Drug addiction has become a great threat for the people of Bangladesh. A large number of people especially the young generation are addicted to drugs or opium-based products including morphine, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, hashis, LSD, etc. Nowadays drug addicts are found everywhere in the streets, in the parks, and even in the educational institutions. The number of drug addicts is increasing day by day.

It is known that most of them are get addicted to drugs at their teenage. When they realize the consequences of drug addiction, it is too late. They want to shirk off the habit, but they cannot. When the drug addicts do not get money to buy drugs, they become ferocious. They misbehave with their parents. To collect money for buying drugs, they get involved in anti-social activities such as snatching, kidnapping, hijacking, and committing robbery.

The final consequence of drug is very devastating. It causes death by severe affliction and suffering. The parents, the government, and the conscious citizens should come forward to take initiatives with a view to putting an end to this problem.
