Introduction

Illegal drug and drug trafficking is one of the biggest income sources of organized crime organizations and it is one of the biggest problems in terms of security, not only because it creates health problems, but also because it is used in jobs connected with crime. Although traditional drugs, such as cannabis and cocaine, are still the main factors that dominate the drug market, synthetic drugs and stimulants have been on the rise in recent years.

In addition, it is a recognized fact that drug trafficking constitutes the financing of terror or illegal activities. According to Boyum & Kleiman (2003) the ban on drugs is highly supported. Because drug laws partially protect people from being dependent but the drug ban prevents theft, assault and other crimes. In addition, the advocates of the legalization of drugs advocate the opposite. Drug laws make drugs more expensive. High drug prices increase non-drug offenses. Both of these views have a share of reality.

It is observed that the inequalities in the power of men in access to economic resources and the worsening of historical and worsening economic success are reduced through more social or legal initiatives. Drug trafficking is seen as an opportunity for economic progress and is perceived as creating a power base for individuals who are denied access to the main opportunities.

Discussion

Many years as a result of lack of education and inadequate to be used to inform the public of prescription drugs being used in the wrong way in a continuous manner. Especially in recent years, the public is trying to raise awareness in this direction. At the same time, new laws are enacted to prevent the use of over-the-counter medications. The unconscious use of antibiotics and painkillers starts in the infants and continues in children. One way to prevent this is through education, and various public spots and lessons given to students at the school provide public awareness. This problem is not only a problem that developed countries should address or worry about. The issue should be addressed internationally. If the CCPCJ does not want to take anti-drug actions and measures against the wrong group, then it should know the pharmaceutical suppliers well and inform them well. The international community must view students and adolescents who engage in non-medical use of prescription drugs as perpetrators. The international community should definitely take measures to prevent misuse of drugs. This solution will benefit more in the long term and will bring a positive return. Making this a criminal off may seem like a good solution in the short term, but it may break out in the long run. Necessary penalties should be given and future measures should be taken.
