Since from civilization each and every ages had good and bad habits. Out of which one bad habit is drug abuse. It may be in the form of any chemical which can influence the psychomotor activity. Drug addiction/abuse is a chronic often relapsing brain disease that causes firstly compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences to the drug addict and those around them, Secondly leads to changes in the structure and function of the brain although it is true that for most people the initial decision to take drug is voluntary, over time the changes in the brain caused by repeated drug abuse can impair a person’s self control and ability to make sound decision and at the same time create an intense impulse to take drugs. A person who takes drug is not totally responsible for drug abuse. We must consider all the formulating factors before allege the person. Stimulating factors: 

Lack of self evaluation appropriately

Lack of control

Explanation of law as per requirement …. Of realty

Lack of psychological counselling services

1. Parental excessive motivation – Most of the parents would like that kids must achieve / fulfil their dreams which could not be achieved by them self. That’s why they are pushing them to do such like preparation i.e. field of education, sports and others curricular activities. i.e. They push their child/children for preparation of doctor/engineer/officers that’s why parents say and enforce them to read more and more every time instead off to use than to play or involve in other social activities. Those (students) are having high I.Q. and pin-point concentration towards their goal, they become success. In other hand, those could not success in their respected field, they are unable to adjust in society properly simultaneously they are weaker in reference to physical strength but they would like to show as a perfect he-man then they try a chemical substance as a assisting agent to fulfil their desire. When the drug is taken for the first time, it stimulates the pleasure centre of the brain. It is for sake of pleasure that most first get accustomed to it. They take drug to forget pain, sorrow, insult and to escape from reality. 2. Lack of self evaluation Most of the growing persons are not evaluate them self. Most of time they are guiding/ motivating by other ones who does not have completes information about them (student). That’s why they are guiding/directly as they are observing in theoretical concept. Besides that they are ignoring the flaws/demerits /weakness of students 3. Lack of control As economy grows every person of society gaining money for their development. Out of them few are not asking/ evaluating where money is spending by their family members and what will be impact of this process. They are only fulfilling desire of their dependents. Simultaneously “law of prohibited chemical substance sale purchase” not following at par that’s why they are easily getting substances by paying little bit more amounts of money or from unauthorized sales persons.

4. Explaining law as per Requirement In our countries constitution, there are few scopes to skip from punishment is available it is using by layers as per their clients requirement i.e. A person who is under age he/she involve in consuming a drug and acting after consumption of drug but at the time of explanation of law against him/her as per crime had been completed by him/her, then they consider under age and getting benefit (i.e. Nirbhaya case at Delhi) of law. 5. Lack of psychological counselling services – As a teen or adult face confusion or dilemma to select best as per his/her capacity, No-one trained counsellor is available to counsel him/her. He/she has to step ahead towards illogical path which goes either in right way by chance or push him or her in hell of drug abuse. Rapid, social, economic and technological change and impact on circumstance, weaken the sense of family and reduce the sense of belonging to other people, groups and places. Stability of relationship, environment and expectation is powerful force is helping people manage their lives especially important for children and young adult. Families can have a powerful inherence on shaping the attitudes, values and behaviour of children, but how they compare with peers. Interns of inherence on drug taking? The influence of peer groups, which is usually strong during for mature years of youth, may be stronger than that of parenting some cases. Lake of house hold stability income or employment for a parent may increase stress on the family and its vulnerability. Conclusion: Fast paced social, economic and technological changes present a challenge to the stability and influence of the family bonds. To deal with the problem of drug abuse, a number of government of India departments i.e. A. Ministry of finance : Enforces to the implement Narcotic drugs & psychotropic substance act, 1985 & 1988, B. Ministry of Health & family welfare: Deals with medical treatment & prevention of drug abuse. C. Ministry of information & Broad casting: For publicity regarding the disadvantages of drug abuse, how
