Drugs in the UAE.

284 cases related to drugs were registered in Abu Dhabi last year. Drugs are most common between teenagers and young people on their early twenties. This essay will discuss the problems and the solutions of drugs.

Using drugs could lead to several serious problems. One problem is that using drugs keep the person out of his mind. For example, the addicts are often unconscious about what is going around them and they cannot act normally. Another problem is, drugs can lead to crimes. People under the influence of the drug do not know what are they doing and for the smallest silly reasons they can create big problems or fight and those problems could end with a murder of someone. Yet another problem is that cigarettes are also considered as a drug. When someone is smoking, he doesn’t know that cigarettes harm his body and the other’s near to him.

The solutions are various, but they are hard to be done. The first solution is rehabilitation. The government in the UAE put the drug addicts in jail, but if they decided by their own to enter the rehab to be cured, the government will excuse them and will not put them in jail. Another solution is PSA’s. The government must put Public Service Announcements for the people to make them aware of the disadvantages of using drugs. The last solution is that the awareness that comes from the family side. Families must be warn their children’s about the effects of drugs and how it affect their lives.

In conclusion, drugs are a serious problem in the UAE that must be considered. Also, we should warn our children to be careful in choosing friends and we, as parents must know their friends.
