In the 1980s, drugs became increasingly rampant around the world and drug smuggling became increasingly serious. Faced with this grim situation, the United Nations held a ministerial conference on drug abuse and illegal trafficking in Vienna, Austria in June, 1987.
The congress put forward the slogan of "love life, don't take drugs" and suggested that June 26th every year be designated as "International Anti-drug Day" to arouse the attention of all countries in the world to the drug problem and resist the harm of drugs. Because Lin Zexu went to Humen to destroy opium on June 3 and ended on June 23, June 26 was designated as the International Anti-Drug Day. In February, 65438, the 42nd session of the General Assembly passed a resolution to officially designate June 26th as the International Day against Drugs.
Drugs refer to opium, heroin, cocaine, synthetic hallucinogens and stimulants. This drug belongs to the control scope stipulated by international drug control conventions and China laws. It directly acts on people's central nervous system, making people excited, inhibited or hallucinated. It is a psychotropic drug (drug), which can make people dependent and continue to use it. At present, new drugs popular in China, such as ecstasy, mostly occur in entertainment places, so they are also called "club drugs", "leisure drugs" and "holiday drugs".
