Legalize everything, that's my answer. I must say, I'm neither a lawyer nor a doctor, it's just my personal opinion based on what I read and see with my own eyes. Drug abuse is bad, no doubt about it, but so is alcohol abuse, tobacco abuse and many other things. Legalize drugs and you'll make them less attractive to the youth who always wants to do something illegal. Make broccoli illegal, and the youth will start using it more.

Am I getting this just right?
Sorry but I don't buy into your idea of legalising drugs. In fact, the very danger that emerges from not legalising drugs is the killing it attracts at the cartel levels mostly and the extreme caution that is taken by the various groups to cut the trails that follows in a drug burst compromise.

Another effect is in the case of price. Banning drugs creates a scarcity and with increase demand, I becomes the more expensive but trust me, its got little or nothing to do with its consumption.

Most of those involved in drug abuse is actually for the feeling thy tend to get out of its intake or the pressure they hope to escape from life. Others might be for the purposes of perpetuating other crimes not limited to abduction. I dont know but, I don't see legalisation of drugs to be a solution to this.

The rate at which youths indulge in drugs is skyrocketing every year, it is affecting the society because the society needs youths that can think uprightly . Youths involvement in drugs will also be a problem in the future because youths are the leaders of tomorrow, I still wonder how can the society survive when their are high of youths who are addicted to drugs. For the fact that the government is fighting against intakes of dangerous drugs more still crave for drugs.

it's becoming really alarming how youths crave for drugs,and how drugs use them to do things that are not normal.Drug abuse is now very common to the extend that even children indulge in it,they take drugs to calm their pressure,some of them take it to make them feel high ,forgeting the side effects involve in drugs abuse.Taking too much drugs has so many things it does to the human system.Some of those drugs kills some vital cells in the body.

The use and exposure to social media has also made this vice worse. Alot of youths are exposed to social media and they learn fast from what others are doing and then begin to practice it at home. That is the way these things spread across to countries which were not used to it. Homosexuality, substance abuse and internet fraud were all not a thing in Africa until the internet came. To control these things it will be better for parents to monitor what their children are exposed to online. I see alot of children owning mobile phones they should not be holding at that age. Parents should be careful. The blame on exposure to drugs is on parents, not government.

What can the government, communities and parents do to cure this situation .

Is there anything the government can do about the effects of drug abuse? There are several restrictions they could impose to minimize the percentage. But, A lot of money is being generated for the government by the drug industry. Several drags are heavily taxed in my country every year by the ruling authorities. The common targets are youth, and they're becoming so addicted in no time. Humans lose control over their addiction to drugs, resulting in youth committing several crimes. The situation is out of control, as things are growing rapidly.

Increase in domestic abuse ,marriages are caused by this drugs influence and anger management problem faced by many of this youths ,both male and female gender.

If we are being true to ourselves, one of the major problem of the society nowadays has its roots in the failure of the family to bring up the next generation properly. Many children grow up to become problems to themself and the society at large because of parents negligence.
There is little the government can do at a point in an individual's life when the unit responsibility for its foundation building fails (apart from locking the person on in a correctional facility or something).

Parents should be more responsible and accountable for their wards. I believe this would be by far a better solution instead on waiting on the government to do everything.

It's a big problem for youths of today as they see it as an essential means of survival. Personally, I feel that the government can do a lot to curb this scourge as most times, youths who engage in such activities are most times jobless.
Most youths also succumb to peer pressure and as a result of this over dependence on these drugs, you begin to hear of cases of robbery because when you run out of means to get your daily "fix", you steal to get it else you will be demoralized.

Nearly 60% of youths are prone to drug abuse and are been influenced by peers group ,who make them indulge in this act ,this makes the youth have a higher ratio of drug addiction ,this is why they dominate a higher population at the correctional centers facilities, mental homes facilities,prison facilities due to drug influence reaction.
There have been increase in the cases of rape ,robbery ,homocides,depression, suicide, gang fight and this cases have shown a large number of youth engagement in this crimes.

What about cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl? Fentanyl is particularly deadly and is responsible for deaths among young people. Does the government not serve the purpose to maintain a healthy and drug free society for the common good?

I'm okay with less potent and deadly drugs being legalized as long as they aren't detrimental to the health and safety of the general population. Marijuana, LSD, shrooms are some particulars.

Legalizing everything just means poison in the blood of the youth. It won't solve anything.

The drug abuse? Anyone forced to take drugs or they force themselves to consume because they wanted to since they're addicted to it. I don't know the drug addiction being the root cause of all the crime because I have seen people who never consumed drugs also become the criminals.

You own the pen

Depending on where you live some of the youths are worse compared to others and they became feeling self-sufficient, they don't respect the elders anymore due to the effect of the drug and the song related to it. The lyrics made them do things that were unimaginable for their age but the culprit here is not them, is the one who makes drugs and the one who distributes them to them. youth shouldn't be acting this way, that's why we really need to be vigilant when it comes to parenting we really need them to avoid friends that will not encourage them to take drugs or things that are related to it.

What can they do? More funding for things like sports, etc. More funding for counseling. Have class about psychology as early as possible and teach the teens how to manage their emotions etc. Rehab for when they do start using.The thing is, it seems governments tend to be more hellbent on attacking just the supply side.

Drugs like Indian hemp is over 3400 years old. That means drug use is older than most governments. The problem with drug use in my country is government's failure to decriminalization some recreational drugs like Indian hemp. I have interviewed some youths and I discovered that because of the smell from smoking Indian which can attract drug enforcement agencies they decide to use other drugs. This has led to the use of different kind of dangerous drugs that have led to increase in the rate of mental problems and crime. Currently, my country is now a big market for drug traffickers and drug companies. Recently a hard drug industry that employed expatriates from world leading drug exporting countries was discovered in my area. Youths are now using combinations of pharmaceutical drugs to get high without considering the health effect.
Also note that the high rate of crime is also a result of gradual decay of good societal values, corrupt government and poverty.

I read recently that unlike "hard" drugs like meth, marijuana rarely cause long-term problems and is not addictive. And it seems people are more chill when they are on it and going around rampaging and raping.

The method which I think will be more effective is to start educating them at early about the advantages and the disadvantages of drug and not just the disadvantages alone.
I think it is better to teach a child everything about something, because a time will eventually come when all that will be left to guide that child will be the teachings he/she received.

This is my opinion.

Drug abuse has caused so many effect on the youths of nowadays,making them behave in an abnormal way.it also lead to the dead of our youths for as many as those who have chose to abuse drugs in one way or the other.
Our youths engage in illegal acts,criminality,robbery and other activities because of the wrong way in which they abuse or misuse drugs.
