India's anti-drug measures have sparked heated discussions: the anti-drug problem behind the drug epidemicIndia's anti-drug operations have attracted widespread attention in recent days, and the spectacular scene of the chief minister personally destroying a large amount of drugs is impressive. However, behind these staggering figures,
India's anti-drug journey is fraught with challenges and problems. The official anti-drug measures do not seem to fundamentally solve the problem of drug abuse, but have caused more controversy and reflection. India is the world's largest producer of generic drugs
The boom in its pharmaceutical industry has provided the soil for the drug epidemic. The Patents Act, 1970, which ignored patents for pharmaceutical products, gave Indian medicine a cheap advantage and also gave rise to drugs disguised as medicines.
Poor regulation has led to pharmacists prescribing psychotropic drugs and sedatives in large quantities, and the unlimited growth of generic drugs has left about 200 million Indians as long-term users of medical ** and medical sedatives.
The remaining 1.2 billion people are also on the "point of no return" for drug abuse because they cannot afford the high cost of "medical care". The drug problem has become a persistent problem in Indian society, and there are a large number of drug addicts, including many children.
The use of snake venom and the sharing of needles lead to a worrying number of infections and deaths. According to the United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, there are about 100 million drug users in India
13 of them1% of drug users are under the age of 20, and opium, alcohol, and propoxyphene are the five most common drugs abused by children in India. Faced with this reality, Indian officials have introduced a series of anti-drug measures. However,
These include the free distribution of syringes and needles to drug users, which has caused some controversy. This practice has been interpreted as a coping strategy that "curing diseases is the same as curing water, and it is better to block than to sparse". And behind this,
Some critics have also emerged: Does this approach really solve the problem of drug abuse at its root?Do drug offenders really get the care and help they deserve?What kind of interests are hidden behind this kind of "stability maintenance"?
At the same time, calls for drug legalization in India are growing. Some regions have legalized cultivation, while some even believe that relaxing restrictions on medical and medical sedatives can promote light industry. However,
Is this practice just conniving at the spread of narcotics and turning the drug problem into a "stumbling block" in social governance?It is commendable that contemporary China's anti-drug policy has been widely recognized. National anti-drug,
The policy of cracking down on drug-related crimes has made people feel the dignity and sanity of human beings. From the sick man of East Asia to today's comprehensive anti-drug campaign, China has made tremendous efforts to achieve it. Against this backdrop, it is all the more important for us to look at India's drug problem, reflect on its deep-seated problems, and take responsibility for the direction of our own country and social development. In the face of this arduous challenge, we need to ask ourselves: anti-drug control is not just as simple as the physical destruction of drugs, but also needs to start from social systems, cultural values and other aspects, how to achieve more humane and scientific governanceAt the same time, in the international community, how can we promote all countries to face the drug problem together and promote the process of global drug control?
