Description: Drug abuse may be defined as any non-medical use of a drug that causes harm. The problems associated with the use of illegal drugs were recognized internationally in the 1980s as a major threat to the well-being of society. In Canada both trade in illicit drugs and public concern over its effect have increased in recent years. This paper discusses the extent of illegal drug use in Canada, its impact on the society, and some of the remedial measures taken.
