Very good morning and a warm welcome to everybody present here today.

Today, I will
be talking about the topic of drug abuse’.

The word ‘drug’ when it comes to one’s mind, is taken in a negative sense as it is often
misused. If the drugs are used for serving a useful purpose, it could bring a
considerable change in the lives of people. The drug is not a dangerous substance
itself. But people misuse it in many ways. It is highly dangerous and can cause serious
health problems if one takes it on a regular basis.

There are different kinds of drugs. Among them, Psychoactive drugs play an essential
role. It consists of chemical substances that are very harmful to the human body. It has
a high chance to affect the function of the nervous system of a human being. These
drugs can affect one’s stability of mind, inflict mood swings, etc.

Abuse of such psychoactive drugs can turn out to be very dangerous to the entire
humankind. It can cause psychological or physical addiction. All these drugs have
tremendous side effects; these side effects can later give rise to several diseases.

Thus, the government has come up with strict rules and regulations regarding the
production of these drugs. This industry is closely supervised, so the smuggling of drugs
can be reduced as much as possible.

It is our duty as responsible citizens of our country not to misuse drugs as it will cost us
our lives and follow the rules and regulations of the government appropriately. If we see
any such crime, we should immediately report it to the nearest police station.

Thank you, everyone, for your patience and for giving an earful to my speech. I hope
everyone has a great day ahead.
