The Menace of Drug Abuse & Alcoholism

Alcohol has been described as one of the prime causes of man's physical and moral degradation. Currently, another more vicious form of abuse, the use of harmful and dangerous drugs, especially heroine, has created a much more serious human and social problem. This problem is now worldwide. The repercussions of drug abuse are more serious and deadly than those of alcoholism. Theft, robbery, sex-related crimes and swindling of vast sums of money have occured under the pernicious influence of drug abuse.

Drug lords, not being content as death merchants, have even tried to control weak governments through corruption, bribery, subversion and bombings. As a matter of public policy, government have to protest their citizens against drug abuse. Yet, drug lords, with their devilish schemes, have threatened the very foundation of society - human dignity. Spokesmen of conscience and their families constantly run the risk of death because they dare to cross the lawless path of the drug lords.

Without international co-operation to stamp out this evil, the vitality and the future of many nations will be bleak indeed. Countless millions of hard-earned dollars have been spent worldwide to help the addicts get rid of their evil habits but the maddening craze persists. It is our duty to help in whatever manner we can, to eradicate this dreadful menace and prevent our children from getting near drugs.

Life as a drug addicts or an alcoholic is a life of torture and hell on earth, leading one to an early death.
