Well, despite the vast publicity of the impact and harmful effects of drug abuse, people continued to abuse drugs.
Reasons for this may include their disillusionment, depression, a lack of purpose in life, unemployment or poor parental examples.
Besides this, youths nowadays may be curious, bored, subjected to peer influence, pressure or they may just abuse drugs for experimental purposes.
Other examples may include: -Desire for fun -Search for social acceptance -Escape from harsh reality -Mistaken belief that occasional abuse will not lead to addiction.
I hope i answered your enquiry. (:
