The drug problem is a very complex issue, and anti-drug work is a systemic project involving the whole mankind, which is an extremely heavy and arduous task. Although many governments and people of many countries, as well as countless educated people, have made many contributions to anti-drug work over the years, drugs still proliferate all over the world and pose a serious threat to the survival and development of mankind.
With the opening of the door of reform in China, people’s material life is getting richer and richer, and the consumption of drugs is growing at an alarming rate. New drugs (mainly methamphetamine) are spreading rapidly from urban to rural areas, poisoning the health of the ignorant as well as the society. 1. Who is prone to drug abuse? In theory, anyone can become a drug addict. In reality, at-risk groups are more likely to become addicted to drugs. The most vulnerable people are minors, who are driven by curiosity and gradually develop addiction; those who are empty-minded, looking for excitement, and are actively exposed to drugs, which often happens to jobless people; those who do not believe that it is difficult to quit after becoming addicted to drugs, and as a result, cannot extricate themselves, often those with higher education and status; those who are unknowingly deceived and lured to take drugs, which are mostly victims of cheapness, who are first invited to take drugs and then become addicted to drugs. The mutual influence of friends and relatives should not be ignored. If someone in the family takes drugs, if they cannot stop it, they may drive their family members to take drugs; in addition, there are few people who are mentally depressed and take drugs to anesthetize themselves from their misery. For the same drug user, the reasons for getting involved in drugs can be complex, with curiosity, thrill-seeking, and disbelief in addiction being the three most important aspects. Most people are deterred by the traditional drug heroin, but the new drugs (mainly meth) have an invisible “angelic” advertising effect that not only gives the addict a wonderful feeling, but they also seem to be safe, and most meth addicts who are caught will say things like: “Meth is not addictive. You can quit if you want to. It is this spread of awareness that makes methamphetamine so widespread. On the surface, drug addiction is a personal matter, damaging the physical and mental health of the addict and destroying the addict’s family; in essence, the consequences of drug addiction endanger social stability, national prosperity and human security. Drug addiction damages personal health, causes malnutrition
It can also damage the respiratory tract and cause infectious diseases through unsterile intravenous injections. Due to the effects of drugs and changes in lifestyle after drug use, drug users often experience personality changes and typical psychiatric symptoms, such as selfishness, indifference, poor sense of social justice, and in some cases, hallucinatory impulses, aggressive behavior, self-harm, injury or suicide. Drugs also damage the nervous system and cause sexual dysfunction. It also causes public health problems such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, the most serious of which is the infection and spread of AIDS. The reason is that intravenous drug users share unclean syringes causing a very high rate of HIV infection, especially women who use drugs are at high risk of spreading and contracting HIV, this is due to the fact that drug users themselves can cause HIV infection, in addition, women who use drugs have to become prostitutes in order to get money to buy drugs and become a high risk group and an important source of infection for the spread of various STDs and infections. Drug addiction leads to a large number of family tragedies. Once a drug addict is present in a family, it means that poverty and conflicts surround the family, often ending in the loss of the family’s money, the separation of the wife from the family, and the destruction of the family. First of all, drug addiction costs a lot of money, and to a certain extent, it is inevitable to sell the family’s property in exchange for drugs, resulting in a family with no money. Some unscrupulous people even sell their children, forcing their wives into prostitution; secondly, drug addiction can lead to the death of the marriage, family breakdown. Because once a person is addicted to drugs, he or she will lose the concept of duty or responsibility, the husband can not do his husband’s duty, the wife can not do his wife’s duty, which will eventually lead to divorce. Again, drug addiction endangers the next generation. Pregnant women who use drugs will seriously affect the normal development of the fetus, some resulting in congenital malformations or addiction of the newborn. According to foreign statistics, most drug addicts have a short life expectancy, generally not exceeding forty years. Smoking and drug addiction are the same in terms of addiction, but because the social harm is not as serious as drug addiction, so it has not yet attracted attention, but respiratory and cardiologists have become increasingly concerned about the high incidence of smoking-induced lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema and coronary heart disease. 3, out of the misconceptions about drugs Myth 1: Drug use is a sign of fashion and style: Wrong perceptions and values lead many people to mistakenly regard drug use as a symbol of fashion and style, a sign of high enjoyment and wealth. They believe that it is foolish to work on the ground and the smartest to get something for nothing; they believe that if people don’t do it for themselves, the sky will be the limit. The only way to finally get rid of drugs is to change these misconceptions. For those who have wrong perceptions, we should strengthen the education of drug hazards, let them recognize the true nature of drugs, tell them: choosing drugs is choosing destruction, and advise them to stay away from drugs. Myth 2: Drugs can refresh: Many people believe that drug use has the effect of relieving fatigue, invigorating, relaxing, and even increasing sexual desire, which has become a reason for some people to use drugs. These effects are only the short-term effects of drugs, and the long-term effects are permanent damage to the nervous system. Myth 3: Drugs can be aphrodisiacs: Does heroin really have an aphrodisiac and aphrodisiac effect? The answer is no. Drug addiction is an aphrodisiac disaster, medical research has found that: long-term use of heroin can cause comprehensive damage to sexual function, the most obvious and serious is the damage to sexual desire. According to foreign reports, the impairment of libido in men is up to 100%, and in women up to 60%. In China, it was found that before addiction, libido decreased up to 25%, and after 3 months of use, none of them did not produce a decrease in libido.
Modern medical research proves that heroin cannot play the role of aphrodisiacs and aphrodisiacs, it causes sexual disorders at the beginning, and long-term dependence is a comprehensive damage to sexual function. Heroin as an aphrodisiac is equivalent to drinking hemlock to quench your thirst. Myth 4: New drugs are not “drugs”: Because the dependence of new drugs on the body is relatively small, the long-term effects on the mind are generally not easy to see, so some people feel that the use will not lead to great harm, so continuous use. Nowadays, new drugs are rumored to be less addictive in society, and some young people and higher income white-collar workers think that new drugs such as ecstasy are not drugs and it’s okay to suck some. In fact, the new and old drugs are only different in their speed of reaction, there is no difference in the harmfulness to the human body, the same dose of new drugs are more toxic and addictive than traditional drugs, taking these drugs will make the heart rate increase, blood pressure rise, body temperature rise sharply, cardiovascular failure, and even lead to death. In addition, if these stimulants are used continuously, they can cause serious damage to the nerve cells of the human brain and even degeneration, leading to psychotic episodes, and all other system functions of the organism can also be seriously damaged. New drug stimulants and hallucinogens can easily stimulate sexual desire, and they are usually used in group entertainment places, where the chances of unsafe sex are high, which can easily lead to the spread of STDs and AIDS and bring serious social problems. Because new drug stimulants can increase body consumption, while suppressing appetite, so it has the effect of reducing weight. However, long-term use can lead to malnutrition, digestive disorders, physical decline, and other serious mental illnesses such as depression, so it is very dangerous to use drugs to lose weight. 4. How to stay away from drugs? In most cases, drug addiction always involves coming into contact with the first person who tries drugs under the influence of that person. How can you avoid coming into contact with such people? First of all, it is to go less to places with complicated environment, such as cabaret and other entertainment places are high risk places for the spread of new drugs. Some people are curious, have insufficient knowledge of the dangers of drugs, and are less able to resist the thrill of drugs, especially because of a certain rebellious mentality of some teenagers – the more dangerous things are, the more parents and teachers earnestly
The more dangerous things are, the more parents and teachers tell them not to do, the more they want to try! All this gives drug dealers the opportunity to take advantage of the rapid spread of drug abuse among young people. Secondly, we need to recognize the drug traffickers to lure people: drug trick one or two will not be addicted; drug trick two to give you a free try, and then sell drugs to you at a high price after you become addicted; drug trick three, drug treatment; drug trick four drug addiction can show off wealth, now rich people are drug addiction; drug trick five use of young women love beauty, fabricated drug addiction can lose weight lies, the reality is that drug addiction not only damage the face and body, but also destroy people’s The reality is that drug use not only damages the face and body, but also destroys the will of the person. Finally, to stay away from drugs, we must do the following.
1. take the initiative to learn the basic knowledge of drugs and anti-drug laws and regulations, understand the dangers of drugs, and know the truth that “if you take one sip of drugs, you will fall into the mouth of a tiger”. 2. have a correct outlook on life, and do not blindly pursue enjoyment, seek excitement, and be fashionable. 3. not listen to all kinds of fancy words that drugs can cure diseases, relieve worries and pain, and bring happiness. 4. 4. Do not make friends with people who use and sell drugs. If you find that there are people who use and sell drugs among your friends and relatives, you must discourage them, stay away from them, and report them to the public security authorities. 5. Be cautious when entering a concert hall, some drugs are colorless and tasteless, do not drink alcoholic beverages that are not vacuum-packed; do not talk to random strangers, do not accept cigarettes and drinks offered by strangers; do not leave your seat casually in entertainment places, and it is better to have someone to watch drinks and food when you leave your seat. 6. Do not listen to the advertisements of drugs that can cure heart addiction, some people look at the advertisements and try drugs on themselves and cannot extricate themselves, remember: one day of drug addiction, ten years of drug addiction, and a lifetime of wanting drugs, never the first time. I advise you to stay away from drugs and cherish life! Conclusion: Drugs themselves have a dual nature. What we call drugs are called narcotics on the official documents of the international community. This type of thing, if used wisely, it has some medical value and belongs to medicine. But such drugs are extremely addictive, and once addicted, it causes great damage to human health and brings great loss and harm to human society, so it becomes a drug. Therefore how to use narcotics reasonably and at the same time prevent narcotics abuse is the scientific attitude towards narcotics.
