Preface
Today's youth face many risks, including drug abuse, violence, and
HIV/AIDS. Responding to these risks before they become
problems can be difficult. One of the goals of writing this book is
to help the public understand the causes of drug abuse and to
prevent its onset. Drug abuse has serious consequences in our
homes, schools, and communities. From this book’s perspective,
the use of all illicit drugs and the inappropriate use of illicit drugs
are considered drug abuse.
Prevention science has made great progress in recent years.
Many interventions are being tested in "real-world" settings, so
they can be more easily adapted for community use. Scientists are
studying a broader range of populations and topics. They have
identified, for example, effective interventions with younger
populations to help prevent risk behaviors before drug abuse
occurs. Researchers are also studying older teens, which are
already using drugs to find ways to prevent further abuse or
addiction. Practical issues, such as cost-benefit analyses, are being
studied. Presenting these findings to the public through this book is
the most important responsibilities.
I am pleased to offer this First edition of the
publication, DRUG ABUSE - PROBLEM MANAGEMENT
AND PREVENTION First Edition. The first edition offers
updated principles, new questions and answers, new program
information, and expanded references. This edition summarizes
sections of the guide for community use. This book is designed as
per the latest syllabus of Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar. I
hope you will find this First edition useful and helpful.

About the Book
Drug Abuse Problem Management and Prevention
Is drug abuse becoming the sixth flowing river in the State of
Five Rivers? What is happening to Punjab?
Punjab represents a sacred portion of our country. The rich history
of this ancient land has given its people a sense of native pride.
Punjab is a blessed region of India that once stood witness to
countless victories and triumphs. Preserved by martyrs who gave
their lives to sustain the people and culture, this land was once
hallowed by saints. Punjab is a special place and close to the heart
of India.
Once known for its life, unparalleled fertility, joy, and
vibrancy – Punjab used to set the example. But the Punjab people
are tragically turning their backs on their state’s values. As a result,
the tornado of illegal drugs sweeping through India is sucking
Punjab into the mess. The drug menace has been intensified in
Punjab over the last four years, and currently 73.5% of the
Punjab youth are severely addicted to drugs.
“Drug addiction has done to Punjab what even terrorism could
not.”
"Jahaj aa gaya hai!" (The plane has landed). This coded message
echoes at least once a week through a rural village in the Malwa
belt indicating to addicts that their allowance of "bhukki" has
arrived. Hundreds of men, women and children desperately make
their way towards undisclosed locations to collect their drugs for as
cheap as Rs. 25 per dose. Couriers cart around precious bags of
"bhukki" in their trucks and trailers. Innocently disguised as fruit
and vegetable transporters, couriers have become masters of
bypassing the law. The venue in which the "bhukki" is delivered

changes frequently; this is done to avoid police and other
government.
Known as "the poor man's addiction," bhukki is derived from
the poppy plant and constitutes a real threat to Indian society –
especially in Punjab. The threat presented in Punjab is founded on
two licensed poppy cultivation areas in Rajasthan and Madhya
Pradesh. "Addicts take either "chura" (ground husk) with water or
boil "bhukki" in water and drink the "karah" (concentrate)" bhukki
is only one of the many drug menaces in Punjab as the state faces a
difficult drug crisis.

Acknowledgements
I would like to express my gratitude to many people who saw me
through this book; to all those who provided support, talked things
over, read, wrote, offered comments, allowed me to quote their
remarks and assisted in the editing, proof reading and design. My
aim for writing on such a burning topic is the facts which reveal
the disturbing situation of Punjab:
• Around 2,32,856 people in Punjab are drug addicts. (Punjab
Govt. Data 2017)
• 26% of the addicts are HIV Positive.
• Interestingly, children are most susceptible to drug addiction.
• Punjab borders Pakistan making the state the first transit point
for smuggled drugs.
• According to a UNICEF estimate, 90,000 children in Punjab
are drug addicts in the age of 12 to 16 years. The menace of
addiction among the youth in our region, especially in the rural
areas, has reached alarming levels. Much of this can be
attributed to the lack of understanding of this as a disease and
thus denial of proper treatment to the addicted."
I would like to thank Principal DAV College Jalandhar and
DAV Managing committee, New Delhi for giving permissions and
enabling me to publish this book. Above all I want to thank my
wife Rachna, Daughter Aashima and Son Anshuman, who

away from them. It was a long and difficult journey for them.

Meaning of Drug Abuse
History of Drug Abuse
Humans have long history of drug abuse having used for thousands
of years. Early civilization used wines from at least the time of
early Egyptians. The earliest second use of narcotics dates back to
4000 BC. With medical marijuana appearing in china around 2,737
BC.
The extraction of active ingredients from psychoactive drug
did not occur until 19th century. Thereafter, the emergence of
unregulated and freely prescribed drug such as morphine,
laudanum and cocaine laid the groundwork for modern addiction.
People could buy these drugs in patent medicine bottle at local
drugstores. During the American civil war, the wounded veterans
returned home with their morphine kits.
By the early 1905, an estimated 2, 50,000 morphine addicts
lived in the united. Legislation began to take notice of the
addiction epidemic overtime. The first enhanced legislation against
drug abuse occurred in 1875, when opium dens become outlawed
in San Francisco, the pure food and drug Act of 1914, the Harrison
Narcotic Act dictated the only licensed medical professional and
pharmacies could sell substantial doses of heroin soon followed.
The united state supreme court made it illegal for doctors and
pharmacies to prescribed narcotics and addicts, even as part of an
addiction treatment plan. As a result, the use of narcotics
diminished by 1920s. The prohibition of alcohol occurred in 1919,
but was later removed in 1933.
In the 1930s most states required anti-drug education in public
schools; however fears of experimentation caused it to be
abandoned. After the repeal of prohibition, the United States
federal bureau of narcotics began a campaign to portray marijuana
as entry level drug to other powerful narcotics. In the 1905s, use of
marijuana increased in conjunction with amphetamines and
tranquilizers. The social revolution of 1960s brought with it a
