Drug addiction has been described as a pathological relationship to a ________. What kind of symptoms indicates that someone has a drug problem? Well, for a start, it is obvious that the person has a problem if they deny or try to hide their drinking or drug use, or ______ to everyone that they are taking less than they really are; if they try to make excuses for their drug-taking; if they avoid talking about their drug-taking habits and ________ the problems associated with drug use; if they seek out friends who are also drug users; if they have drug-related problems such as accidents, financial difficulties, absenteeism, _______ illnesses, difficulties at work, conflicts with family and friends.

Drug Problem
And of course it is _______ true that hard drugs are more of a problem than soft drugs. If someone is taking cocaine or _____ regularly then they certainly have a Drug Problem and need help in trying to overcome it. If on the other hand they are taking cannabis now and again, most people would accept that it does not constitute a Drug Problem.
The Drug Problem affects all of us, because drugs ___ crime. Illegal drugs are now more widely available than ever before and children are __________ exposed to them. Drugs are not just a threat to health; they are also a threat on the streets and a serious threat to communities too, because of drug-related crime.

heroin
fuel
increasingly
ZCJ
One answer to the Drug Problem is to improve job
opportunities, because drug taking is often _________
with other social problems such as unemployment,
boredom, ________ from society and so on. Perhaps
the best approach is to help people to resist drugs,
and at the same time protect communities from
drug-related crime by better policing; make
treatment for drug addicts more readily available;
and to ____ the availability of drugs on the street.
There are no easy answers to the Drug Problem. But
there is plenty of support out there if drug users do
decide that they want to ____ their drug habit.

Drugs: The Hidden Danger to YouthDrugs: The Hidden Danger to Youth
Today, young people using "ecstasy tablets" semi-openly at parties is not a rare scene in some cities. Among officially registered drug addicts, 70 per cent are under the age of 35. And the types of drugs they use are becoming more and more diverse.
Many factors are involved such as teaching in schools, the role of neighborhood committees and non-government organizations (NGOs), mental health support, family environment and media influence.
ZCJ
The world needs a well-considered practical approach and coordinated efforts to make headway.
The reality today is that in many places, young people have very limited access to knowledge about drugs although drug abuse and trafficking are spreading in these areas.
In large cities and relatively rich areas, many of the attempts we have seen so far, mainly represented by lectures or posters and short-term campaigns, are superficial.
ZCJ
What has been done is far from being enough to equip young people with a comprehensive knowledge about drugs and to make them understand the dire consequences of using drugs.
It is true that schools, community organizations and NGOs have their respective difficulties in doing more to fight the war on drugs.
ZCJ
It is the government's duty to find ways to solve these problems. At the same time, parents and teachers should learn to improve their communication skills and provide emotional support for their children or students. Young people should also be encouraged to seek counseling for emotional problems.

Along with exhortation and warning, it might be good for our citizens to recall that the United States was the creation of men who believed that each man has the right to do what he wants with his own life as long as he does not interfere with his neighbor’s pursuit of happiness. (Para. 3)
ZCJ

It is a lucky thing for the American moralist that we have no public memory of anything that happened last Tuesday. (Para. 6)
Most Americans have a bad memory and don’t remember anything that happened in the past. This is a lucky thing for those people who advocate forbidding drugs (for if they remembered what Prohibition in the 1920s resulted in, they would see that prohibition of drugs will not be feasible, either).
ZCJ
Last year when the supply of marijuana was slightly reduced by the Feds, the pushers got the kids hooked on heroin and deaths increased ramatically. (Para. 8)

Unfortunately, the simple beauty of such logic has an ugly gaping hole.(16)
Mayor Schmoke’s logic seems simple: if you can’t win the game, you should change the rules, in other words, if you can’t solve the drug problem, you should legalize it. Unfortunately, Mayor Schmoke fails to take into consideration a lot of important aspects involved.
