Narcotics control refers to the measures and regulations implemented to manage the production, distribution, and use of narcotic drugs. These efforts aim to prevent illegal drug trafficking and abuse, ensuring that substances are used safely and legally for medical purposes. Governments and organizations often collaborate to enforce laws, conduct research, and provide education about the risks associated with drug use. Effective narcotics control can help reduce addiction rates and improve public health by promoting responsible use and access to treatment for those affected by substance abuse.
