In 1987 the General Assembly of the United Nations called for a World Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking to be observed on June 26, callinng attention to one of the worst dramas of our planet and to voice support for all the efforts to combat it. According to the 2016 Report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 250 million people between the ages of 15 and 64 had made use of drugs in the preceding year. The campaign is aimed towards everyone, but particularly young people who often talk about the “rocking effects” of drugs while forgetting the many “negative effects”. The use of drugs is worrisome and represents a wound on society that threatens public health both in terms of prevention as well as care and treatment of the negative effects of drug use.
