Just say `No’ to drugs
National Anti-Drug Addiction Day is observed every year on 2nd October. The aim of the day is to make India free from drugs and to preserve the integrity and talent of our youth. Drugs are one of the greatest vices of our society. Adverse effects of Drugs: Drug addicts literally lose the ability to make rational decisions and they are going to lose their career, family, loved ones, friends and even laws are breached. They tend to spend every waking hour craving for a ‘fix’, to try and get money somehow, anyhow, by any means, to supply their habit. Even a drug addict knows he or she is spiralling towards destruction but is unable to control it. Most people have experimented with ‘controlled substances’ at some point in their lifetime. People experiment with drugs for mainly three reasons:

Out of curiosity
To be part of a social circle
To have a good time.
