    @ Shankar,
    "A few puffs of weed once n a while or a snort of coke , doesn't amount to addiction.We all have gone through it." I truly agree to your point.

    No harm in having fun but life is not meant to get stuck at a certain juncture. Always go with the flow i.e. responsibilities & commitment in life.

    The drug is a Curse...

    They ruin the life of the addict AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH pain, sorrow, and Agony, Financial losses.

    During forgone times, drug addiction used to be very common or popular and limited to western/Communist blocks and gradually started spreading to Muslim countries crossing Indian sub-continent. It is pathetic to know that India’s youth has succumbed to the use of narcotics. Some times, even educated lot is falling victim to drug addiction. Once fallen to the use of drugs, it is very difficult for the addicts to come out of it. Parents cannot keep a watch or chase grown up children everywhere. It’s a menace and children spoil their career and bring turmoil in the family. So bad and so sad!

    Responsibility is what matters.
    A few puffs of weed once n a while or a snort of coke , doesn't amount to addiction. That is recreation. We all have gone through it, i still won't refuse a chance of a puff or a snort even now, But I can confidently say that I am not addict because I don't go searching for ot!

    Good move. Increase in violent behaviour, suicides and crimes among youths is mainly due to drug addiction

    Why only college. In D. K. Reputed school students are addicted. Most of school and college authorities are not concerned about the students. Govt. Should appoint qualified councillors in all educational institututions and the report should be submitted to Govt. Authorities.
