- Who produces opium, cocaine, and methamphetamine? How does it get to the target country? Who are the target countries?
Opium, cocaine, and methamphetamine are some of the hard drugs that have been noted to have the potential of impacting the wellbeing of the majority of people, especially the young generation. As much as the consumption of these drugs are concerned, it should be realized that they are ultimately produced by various cartels that are aimed at enriching those who runs such organizations. Smuggling is one of the mechanisms that have been realized to be used as the ultimate means of ensuring that they reached the intended destination. The majority of the countries that are the prime targets are those that are underdeveloped (Wecker et al., 2010).

One of the methods that have been recommended is the prescription of other drugs by the physician that has the ability of relieving withdrawal symptoms when a person stops using opiods. Ideally, in order to be in the position of treating those with the drug problem, the state prisons and health care institution aid in ensuring that a person have had the potential of controlling his or her craving (Waldman, 2011).
