Drugs have been there in the world in some form or the other since the Metal Age, when humans learnt how to mix and match chemicals with each other and when agriculture was invented. But it has never been such a harrowing problem as it is now.

With one in every five people in the US claiming that they have taken some class of drug or another merely for recreational use, this problem just cannot be undermined. More alarming is the fact that out of all the drug users in the US, more than half are active youngsters who would have otherwise been completely physically and mentally fit to pursue a job and run a household. The drug abuse is sapping the whole generation at its roots. In our age, it has started catching people when young.Substance abuse addiction is no longer the unfortunate thing that always happens to the other person. Reality is striking much closer home. Children in the eighth grade – an astounding 20% of them – have used marijuana already. Whether they have become marijuana addicts or not is a different story, but the very fact that they have seen this drug will compel them to use more dangerous and lethal ones when they grow up. With such a high density of drug usage, how well-protected do you think your kid is from the addiction?

It is time we stopped turning a Nelson’s eye to this major world problem. There are several drug rehab centers that are working relentlessly at ridding the world of this problem. It is time to be aware… and to act.
