Creating a Drug Free Society
Drug abuse is a result of two factors – the availability of drugs (supply) and the psycho-social conditions which result in their abuse (demand). In order to prevent drug abuse a mere supply reduction strategy is not sufficient to effectively control the menace of drug abuse. Therefore, equal emphasis needs to be placed on supply and demand reduction. Supply reduction is the strategy aimed at reducing the supply of illicit drugs by enforcing the drug law of the country.
On the other hand, Demand reduction is the strategy by which the demands for the drugs which are being abused are to be reduced by creating awareness about the ill effects of drug abuse. Of these, demand reduction is more productive than supply reduction in the sense as long as demand is there supply finds its way to match the demand. It is the combination of demand reduction and supply reduction that brings success in containing the drug menace. Demand reduction is an effective tool to reduce supply because when the number of drug users falls, drug supply falls correspondingly as the market for illegal drugs shrinks. This complimentary approach maximizes the impact of the national strategy on illegal drug market and will go a long way in creating a drug free society.
