The menace of drug addiction has spread among the youth of India in a rapid way. Unfortunately, India is a happy hunting ground for drug peddlers. It is so because it is sandwiched between the so-called golden triangle and the golden crescent. The former area comprises of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos and the latter is covered by countries – Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran. Drug addiction refers to the condition of being addicted to a particular drug, particularly narcotic drugs. These are generally illegal drugs that affect the mental set up of a person. Drug addiction is a social evil in India. It is the tragedy of our days that millions of youths, the future citizens of India, fall victims to the habit of taking drugs. It is a major health issue that affects an individual as well as nation as a whole. It is actually jeopardizing the future of our country. Irrespective of sufficient legal mechanism which exhaustively deals with drug abuse i.e. Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985, the conditions are getting worse to worst with every passing day. It is ironical that 2.8% of Indian people have already indulged in drug abuse because there is a defect in the effective implementation of the law. This is one of the reasons for the growth in drug abuse in the country. This research article is a study in the Indian perspective to find out the root causes for the growth of drug abuse and its impact on health of the addicts. The researchers would also try to provide some workable suggestions for the better implementation of the law to curb this menace.
