Drug abuse affects the creation and accumulation of social and economic wealth. According to the latest figures released by the United Nations Narcotics Control Board, there are more than 50 million drug addicts in the world. Hundreds of thousands of drug addicts die of drugs every year. The global drug trade volume is about $800-10 billion, and countries with serious drug abuse problems have to allocate huge funds for the prevention and treatment of drug abuse and related problems; At the same time, due to long-term drug abuse, the working ability of drug addicts is reduced, or the labor force is completely lost, which affects the creation of social wealth and brings huge economic losses to the country and society.
Drug abuse and crime are twin brothers. Drug abuse has led to an increase in social crimes. On the one hand, drug addicts cannot get rid of the torture of drug addiction. In order to satisfy drug addiction, they take risks and engage in criminal activities such as theft, corruption, prostitution and even murder. On the other hand, the crazy revenge, intimidation, assassination and other activities of drug traffickers seriously threaten the safety of people's lives and property and disrupt social order.
Drug abuse harms my health, causing public health problems such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, the most serious of which is the infection and spread of AIDS. AIDS is one of the most malignant diseases that endanger human health at present, and it is called "super cancer". Its pathogen is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). People infected with HIV will develop AIDS after a period of incubation. Aids patients usually die of serious infection or malignant tumor caused by severe immune function impairment, and the mortality rate is high. According to the survey, the main mode of HIV infection in China is drug abuse (intravenous injection) to spread the epidemic. The person in charge of Yunnan AIDS Monitoring Center pointed out: "At present, the infection rate of intravenous drug users among overseas drug users is 23%, while the infection rate of AIDS among drug users in the hardest-hit border areas in China is as high as 68% ..." For example, 1989, a local epidemic of AIDS in Dehong, Yunnan Province, is a typical example. 146 drug users were infected with HIV by injecting drugs with contaminated needles.
3. Characteristics of drug addiction
According to Article 8 of the Decision on Drug Control, drug abuse is generally divided into two types: drug abuse and addiction. As long as the actor's behavior has the following three characteristics, it can be identified as drug abuse. Drug addiction generally has three main characteristics: 1. Drug resistance. That is to say, the effect of the same drug decreases after continuous use, and it is necessary to increase the dose to obtain the same or similar effect as before; 2. Physical dependence. That is to say, the physiological changes caused by taking a certain drug for a certain period of time need to continue taking this drug to maintain the physical requirements. 3。 Psychological dependence. In other words, it is generally a habit for someone to need some medicine mentally. From the actual situation, the symptoms of all drug addicts are generally weak, sallow, listless and listless. Once the drug addiction attacks, some people cry and talk, stamping their chests: some people can't stand up and cough up blood; Some collide and eat the soil on the wall; Some rolled around and cried. All kinds of ugliness, to name a few. Although drug addicts take drugs, they do not become addicted and cannot be identified as drug addicts. Only by having these two points at the same time can we deal with the perpetrator in accordance with the provisions of drug addiction.
