In recent years, Pakistan has seen a rise in drug availability; there are 6.7 million drug users and 2 million drug addicts in the nation.
According to the study, drug traffickers make students addicted to drugs, and the ready availability of drugs encourages the proliferation of drugs among students. Drug usage for recreational purposes, as well as curiosity, contribute to the spread of drugs. Drug addiction is a condition that can be treated.
According to Mohammad Ali Rauf, managing director of Promise Rehabilitation Center in Karachi, Karachi is the world’s most drug-addicted city, second only to New York, and marijuana is the most often used narcotic.
He further stated that all forms of narcotics, including alcohol, heroin, crystal meth, sleeping pills, and cocaine, are so widely accessible nowadays that they can be ordered online and delivered to one’s home.
Cocaine and ecstasy, according to an official, are growing increasingly popular, particularly among upper-class adolescents in several urban regions.
One of the reasons for the increased availability of drugs, according to an anti-narcotics officer, is their low pricing.
According to experts, the causes for the proliferation of drugs include parents’ lack of attention, lack of interest in school, lack of job, and parents’ inability to warn their children about the hazards of drugs.
