Illegal Drug Trafficking

Illegal Drug Trafficking

The world we are living in now is fulled of drugs. Drugs are used in many different forms and in many ways. Drugs are used numerously in life-threatening situations and drugs are responsible for many deaths and lives of people. But what are drugs actually? Drug is actually a substance that affects the function of living cells mostly used in medicine to diagnose, cure, prevent the occurences of diseases and disorders and to prolong the life of many patients. Drugs defined here are legal drugs. The production and the use of this drugs are highly kept under strict policy and to be able to consume it, a prescription from medical authorities are compulsary. But, in the world today, there are always 2 sides of things. The legal one, which has been mentioned and the illegal one. In the illegal world of drugs, you don’t need prescriptions to get these drugs and in contrary to the legal ones, the main point usually found in illegal drugs are to harm people even though people often don’t realize this main objective.

The same with the fact that there’s a global market of legal drugs, there’s also a global market of illegal drugs. Here illicit drugs are transported freely often disguised as legal. This is what is called as illegal drug trafficking.

The world we're now living in is filled with drugs. Pharmaceutical drugs, most commonly, are the drugs used and prescribed by the doctors to treat their patients. These drugs bring the best of life to the patients who are suffering from serious diseases since they bring hope for those who relatively hopeless. But just like other things, drugs also have 2 sides. Just like a coin with 2 sides - one is the picture and one is the number or the value of the coin. Drugs are similar to coins n that form of way but there are 1 major difference. In coins, those 2 sides are both good. None of the sides bring harm to us but drugs are different. One side of drugs available in this world is the legal drugs. These drugs are protected by the law and their production and their manufacture are completely monitored. But the other side of drugs is the illicit drugs. These are illegally cultivated, manufacture and consumed drugs that harm the economy of a nation. If it's illustrated as a disease it can be called as a melanoma. Melanoma is a kind of skin cancer and even though it's normally quite harmless it is still a form of cancer and it's very disadvantageous. Same as a melanoma, illegal drugs work in that same kind of way. It may seem look harmless at first but after a moment and after you know more about it, it becomes clear that this form of trading is a very disturbing issue for a country's socio-economic development. It affects the social part of a civilization by demoralizing the civilization itself. This is very serious considering that the issue mostly affects the young of a country and when the young have been infected by this serious kind of addiction ( addiction to drugs and psychotropic substances ), the condition can be defined as the point of no return. Even though you may find ways to return or to stop from your addiction, many addicts find it difficult not to use drugs any longer. Like an addict once said that even though he may not be using drugs at the moment, but he is sure that drugs will keep haunting his live and maybe someday, somewhere his addiction may start again and the drugs will then continue robbing his life.

So, as educated people whose job is to solve problems and come up with solutions, what can we do? First, we have to encourage people ( addicts ) around us not to continue risking their life. We can do this by keep motivating them to stay away from dangers and informing them how valuable their lives are. Remember, these addicts often repeat the same mistake again because they consider their lives worthless. We can stop them from repeating the same mistake by keep telling them that their lives are a gift and a priceless gift too that should always be respected and honored. Remember, our lives are a gift from God and we shan't do things that will upset our creator. Second, we have to tell them not to hang out or interact with the people who got them in the massive addiction. This change may have some influences on the behavior of the addict at first but after he/she can accept it as a way to provide him / her with a better future, he / she will do it on his / her own intentions. Third is to keep them not away from God. By fulfilling someone's spiritual needs they often reach a moment when they want to spend their lives as well as they can. They value their lives more and if you've reached this stage in helping other people, it means that you're not far from your triumph against the illegal drugs.

Well, keep doing your best guys and remember, IT'S BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
