A lot! Youth, owing to stress of career and education, is getting more and more used to drugs. Not only the education system and career tension, but even the most trivial of problems can get them into substance abuse now a days. This owes much to the accessibility of these drugs despite their being banned in the country.

This is how it works:

One of my friends, who loves writing, was facing a writer’s block and she just hated it. With the advice of her college friends, and the examples on TV that show the artists taking drugs as a “cool” thing, she also started taking drugs in order to break her writer’s block. I don’t know if it helped her in writing back again or not, but even if it did, it was not the right way to choose at any cost.

What we need today are a set of aware youth who understands how necessary it to be healthy, both mentally and physically is. Thankfully, some regions of India are working towards this kind of awareness. The students of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) this time which took a step forward by arranging a marathon for its students, spreading the message of “say no to drugs, yes to running shoes”. Sunday morning, the students ran 5 kilometers to fight against drug and substance abuse by children.

We need more such steps from our educational institutions to curb this great evil.

Many teens use drugs “because others are doing it”—and they fear not being accepted in a social circle that includes drug-using peers.

Abused drugs interact with the neurochemistry of the brain to produce feelings of temporary happiness. The intensity of this euphoria differs by the type of drug and how it is used.

Some adolescents suffer from depression, social anxiety, stress-related disorders, and physical pain. Using drugs may be an attempt to lessen these feelings of distress. Stress especially plays a significant role in starting and continuing drug use as well as returning to drug use (relapsing) for those recovering from an addiction.

Ours is a very competitive society, in which the pressure to perform athletically and academically can be intense. Some adolescents may turn to certain drugs like illegal or prescription stimulants because they think those substances will enhance or improve their performance.

Adolescents are often motivated to seek new experiences, particularly those they perceive as thrilling or daring.

Today’s youth, not only in West, but also in India, is getting inclined towards substance abuse more and more. Unfortunately, no strong measures are being taken in this direction, except for the production of criticizing movies like Udta Punjab, which keep getting censored more than often.

So there’s no denying that drugs consumption and substance abuse are affecting youth’s career and education to a large degree.

One reason of increasing rate of drug consumption is it being an alternative to alcohol, and that it is an easier way to say goodbye to stress, under which education system puts youth.

“Statistics show that drug abuse is a growing problem among teens. In addition to cocaine, Ecstasy and other club drugs, a recent Monitoring the Future Study showed that the top six most abused drugs by teens are: marijuana (31.5%), Vicodin (9.7%), amphetamines (8.1%), cough medicine (6.9%), sedatives & tranquilizers (6.6% each). Without treatment, the effects of drug abuse on teens can lead to serious consequences now and well into adulthood”, reports Casa Palmera.

In teenage and early twenties, people love experimentation and exploration. And these days focusing “only on studies and career” I just their thing like the earlier times. This of course, leads to serious problems (physical, mental, and social), but youth is a time when you don’t give a damn about future consequences and keep going on with their reckless attitude.

Drug abuse affect youth is the following ways:

• Behavioral problems

• Addiction and dependence

• Risky sex

• Learning problems

• Diseases

• Brain damage

We can’t, and we shouldn't want to. Drugs are incredibly useful, and there are millions of people who would have little to no quality of life without them. Even Schedule I drugs, the ones the government considers as having no medicinal value, have the potential to benefit people.

What we could do, as a society, is legalize all drugs. Then we wouldn't spend billions of dollars locking up large parts of entire generations, we'd put the drug lords out of business, and make it easier for addicts to get help.

We could stop users from dying due to impure street drugs of varying potency, we could stop the spread of HIV and Hep C among IV drug users. We'd also ensure that doctors could treat their patients without living in fear of a DEA crackdown.

Would legalization solve all problems? No, but we've tried criminalization and it hasn't helped. So perhaps it's time to try a new approach?
