Physical weakness is reported with the highest percentage i.e. 28.04 percent. Hence it can be concluded that drug abuse strongly causes physical weakness among drug abusers. This physical weakness can be result of withdrawal symptoms and increased tolerance level of drugs. Drugs grossly affect body. Respondents reported that they face social stigma due to drug addiction. Social stigma leads to loneliness which exacerbates psychological issues among drug users, which include weak memory, loss of consciousness, lack of support from friends and family etc. The finding of this indicates that drug abuse has become a serious concern for the younger generation. Alienating the existing drug abusers, would further exacerbate the problem. Hence counseling and guidance for both drug abusers and family of the drug abusers is utmost necessity
