Knowing the adverse effects of drug abuse in the society’s culture and general well-being, many measures have been proposed and implemented by experts in order to reduce and relieve, if not totally eradicate these effects. One such measure that is being done by school is Drug Symposium. The term “drug” was used originally to mean “medicine” but it has now been given a new connotation. Nowadays, it may also mean fatal narcotics or that includes cocaine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine and many other specifications. These illegal drugs have their detrimental effects on the mind and body cells of the addicts and users. The youth are the worst victim of drug addiction.

You become an addict once you become dependent on drug and use it despite having knowledge of its harmful effects on health. It hinders a person from reaching his goals in life. It can lead to harming one’s body, causing problems in family structure, and contribute to the delinquency in society.
