But when we talk about comprehensive drug strategy to control the increase rate of drug using figure, it seems to be quite unrealistic without knowing the situation and current trend of drug using habit. Saying this I am not trying to shape the world by my own visionary statement but rather getting closer to the set ups of every reduction methods existed so far. An easy example if I would say is about family planning. Did this very system sounds practical, I thing or I would say no and it will never. Because there are many sections of people in the human society with their own different cultural norms and behaviour. And also we just can't pull over a seriously long running process to a complete halt all of a sudden saying its a policy adopted by our country. We should firstly look into the states if we are to talk about India where the drug using habit is extremely high and also to seriously study its harmful consequences associated with the drug using habit. So far not such type of study is carried out, intstead the decision usually takes place at the higher levels where a layman will be blindfolded with the new package throwing some funds to stop running out of hell. Strongly speaking for my state Manipur I would recommend harm reduction, Demand reduction and supply reduction also as it is going on steadily to bring out an amicable solution with a common goal of total abstinence at the end . So whats makes the difference if we are applying different methods with much harm to get the same answer. Lastly I would like to comment to kindly review the statement before it goes very deeply down rooted when it is found even to cultured again.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5754698679861382350/2344513756114500411/comments/default/5847354857163907267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5754698679861382350/2344513756114500411/comments/default/5847354857163907267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.cndblog.org/2009/03/india-statement-on-drug-demand.html?showComment=1238499420000#c5847354857163907267' title=''/><author><name>Pushpakanta</name><uri>http://pushpakanta-righttoaccesstreatment.blogspot.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.cndblog.org/2009/03/india-statement-on-drug-demand.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754698679861382350.post-2344513756114500411' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5754698679861382350/posts/default/2344513756114500411' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-723790815'/></entry></feed>
