There are three ways of becoming addicted to narcotics namely "by chance", "vicious lure" and by "addiction".
There are about 10,600 narcotic related prisoners among the total of 67,500 prisoners, and account for 15.8% the entire prisoners in 2002.
The fact is that they are not welcomed to the society and even to their own family.
Of all these narcotic addicts, 74.3% is psychopharmaceutical abusers, 7.4% is drug abusers, and mariguana smokers account for 18.4%. From these statistics, we could see that psychopharmaceutical abusers comprise an overwhelming majority in the entire narcotic addicts.
At present it is estimated that there are 600,000 drug abusers in the country, and it is only a matter of time before the number reaches 1,000,000.
Accordingly, it is time to gather up our wisdom to make the world a better place through diversified research that contains policy for the social-issued drug abusers and plan for the time when our country is reunified with N.K.
There's no need to emphasize over again about the ill effect of drug abuse and its serious influence . It's of no use to argue that drug abuse causes social and economic problems beyond the ruin of an individual. Nowadays psychopharmaceutical abuse is considered one of the most serious problems that the world faces.
Until now the goverment psychopharmaceutical abuse management and regulation was not prepared from long-term strategic standpoint, and didn't fully understand the psychopharmaceutical abuse. So consistent and comprehensive drug abuse control program was not devised and implemented. From the beginning our country considered the drug abuse as a crime that should be handled by the detective division and suffer a criminal punishment, so the government has been depending on regulations and punishment, not to cure and to prevent recurrence who simply misused the drug -not a drug maker, a secret dealer or a smuggler-. Also the government couldn't devise measures suitable for handling teenager drug abuse, and was rather negligent of creating social mood that helps to wipe out drug use.
In this project, solution for psychopharmaceutical abuse is approached by precautions and post-management measures. Let's see the precautions first.
First of all, it is needed to have an organization which specializes in psychopharmaceutical products. Compared to other countries, there's no organization that takes complete charge of psychopharmaceutical products in our country and takes care of drug-problems by the gross.
So ‘permanent, wholly responsible’ organization is needed to be founded to make schemes to control psychopharmaceutical product, to coordinate the agency concerned, to gather information about psychopharmaceutical product and for preventing drug abuse and controlling.
Secondly, No matter how hard government tries to enlighten and educate people to prevent drug abuse, wide consensus between people about the seriousness of psychopharmaceutical abuse is not formed yet. Therefore, a lot of effort to educate and enlighten people who could easily be addicted to the psychopharmaceutical products -especially teenagers- is needed from now on.
And a prevention activities that civil organizations -not only government- take the lead in against drug abuse should be activated.
Third, not only prevention activities but also strict regulations are essential. To make these activities possible, securing drug-specialists and regulation staffs should preceded. Also regulating equipments should be updated and renovated. New regulation methods·techniques such as using new reagent is demanded.
Fourth, effective cure and rehabilitation system has to be made. First of all, present cure and protecting system is needed to be modified and actualized. And cure program for drug addicts has to be developed and implemented. Last, international cooperation should be strengthened.
It proposes the separate court for drug abusers as an post-management measures that it is enforcing with the plan against psychopharmaceutical circulation and drug abuse from advanced nation. Currently our nation makes use of treatment system to psychopharmaceutical addicts. But present system has many problems and to overcome these problems, the system of having separate court for drug abusers has to be introduced.
