Abstract

India is facing a growing problem with drug addiction, especially among young people. Families suffer because addiction causes emotional and financial stress. Many students drop out of school, and people struggle to find jobs. Drug dealers use sneaky tricks like selling chocolates with drugs inside and making secret online deals to spread addiction. This crisis hurts the economy because addicted people cannot work properly, crime rates go up, and hospitals become overwhelmed. Many people also develop serious mental health issues like depression and memory problems. More women are getting involved in drug trafficking, making the situation even worse. To solve this, stronger laws, better rehab centers, and more awareness programs are needed.
