Abstract

Teenage drug abuse is on the increase throughout India. Drug and other psychotropic substance usage is a major problem, with over 90% of users being under the age of 25. Teens with substance abuse problems, such as those caused by cigarettes, narcotics, or alcohol, are more likely to engage in criminal activity. These drugs may make a person angry to the point where they commit horrible crimes including rapes, murders, and other forms of sexual violence. India is experiencing an addiction crisis. Almost three-quarters, or seventy-five percent, of Punjab's youth are severely dependent on narcotics. Cities like Mumbai and Hyderabad are gaining popularity as well as a notoriety for being drug hubs in India. Drug and alcohol abuse are now embedded in the fabric of our society.
