Drug control refers to the policies and regulations implemented by governments to manage the production, distribution, and consumption of drugs. This includes both legal substances, like prescription medications, and illegal drugs, such as cocaine and heroin. The goal of drug control is to reduce drug abuse, prevent addiction, and minimize the negative social and health impacts associated with drug use. Efforts in drug control often involve law enforcement, public health initiatives, and education programs. Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) play significant roles in promoting effective strategies and international cooperation to combat drug-related issues globally.
