It is very important that the problems of drugs is being discussed and the information about the problem becoming part of the broader social awareness. RT is greatly contributing to the fight against drug addiction by focusing media attention to the growing problem. Also, great contributions are made by RT military analyst, Khruschev and his blog on drugs and Afghanistan. There are no proven "best" ways of dealing with drug problem. However, the least effective method is to leave the problem up to the high level federal authorities to try to solve it in a vacuum. To be effective, whole communities need to be aware, and become involved. Early education is the key. At the elementary school level it is critical to explain to children what drugs are all about, and the dangers that they pose to their health. It is never too early to explain that drug trade is about making money for the pushers, while the users, their families and whole communities suffer. In depth information needs to be available at all levels of education, as well as public media campaign, of the adverse health effects. There is no harm with any group trying to help, especially religious based groups. More coordination may be needed by community social services, mental health and health officials on the people under their care and treatment, so that the potential for abuse is mitigated, while the volunteering work increases. The more public gets involved, the better.
