International Day Against Drug Abuse-Iran Today-07-03-2012
International Day against Drug Abuse-Iran Today-07-03-2012 – Modern medicine is yet to find a cure for a devastating disease that affects the mind even more than it does the body. Every year up to 270 million people have a brush with this terrible infliction, at least that’s how many cases are reported. Many of them never return to life as they knew it, they lose everything they have, and a quarter of a million of them lose their lives. Unlike many diseases that are more likely to take down the elderly or the poor, this one is more likely to afflict the young, and surprisingly, those from higher income families living in developed nations. Drug addiction is a disease of the mind that threatens every society in the world. War torn Afghanistan is where most of these drugs are produced, and Iran, which shares more than 900 kilometers of border with this country, is the main transit route for the trafficking of drugs to Europe. Iran has fought long and hard to change that, so in this edition of the show we will be talking about Iran’s struggle with the drug trade in honor of the International Day against Drug Abuse.
