There are more young addicts today than ever before. But if the crisis is serious and international so is the war against drugs. Let’s examine the problem and the two possible solutions to it. There are three main kinds of drugs: hard, soft and legal. They can all cause addition, serious illness and even death. The hard drugs include heroine, cocaine, LSD and crack. The soft ones include marijuana, amphetamines (speed), solvents (glue) and ecstasy. In New York, over 50 per cent of all arrests are connected with drugs. Customs officers only find between 15/20 % of drugs entering the U.S.A. and Western Europe. The two most important drug-growing areas are Latin America and South-East Asia. People there depend on money from their drug crops. Thousands of drug-addicts die every year. Some die from the drugs themselves. Others die from AIDS. This is because they use dirty needles or share needles. Drugs are the second biggest business in the world. Only the arms industry is bigger. Fortunately advertising campaigns play an important part in the war against drugs; as well as education which is also vital. Many schools have a drug- education programme that includes books, videos and cassettes and ex- addicts’ visits.
