Drug Addiction
There are always people who need drugs as a means of escape, and suppressing them by law does nothing but creates an underworld, Many thrill seekers have an increased desire to experience drugs when they are against the law--when the laws on marijuana were less severe than they are at the moment, the incidence of its use were less severe than they are at the moment, but now that new legislation has been framed, it has forced many pushers underground and others into new alliances. These will create a syndicate for both marijuana's growth and distribution.
Why do people become drug addicts? The reasons are varied and even psychiatrists cannot give a clear, simple answer. But it is undoubtedly a symptom of modern civilization--the tremendous pressures and tensions of today's city existence, the increasing pressures to meet higher goals in work programs, the exposure of teenagers at an early age to the harsh factors of adult life and their giddy bombardment to sex and violence on television--all these things probably cumulate to bring about a situation where today's teenagers and young adults are a much greater potential for addiction than were their counterparts of previous generations,Another factor in starting drug addiction in the young is their lack of organized activities. Boredom, frustration, feeling of infedority, were hitherto once regarded as symptoms of psychosis among adults, never teenagers. But now the science is changing rapidly. Possibly maladjusted parents are passing some of their traumas onto their children.
Indeed, not only social workers and psychiatdsts, but even society itself may soon be fighting a desperate battle against the damaging inroads of increasing drug intake and its consequent negative, defeatist attitudes.
