Karachi has become the second most drug-consuming city in the world. According to Mohammad Ali Rauf, managing director of Promise Rehabilitation Center in Karachi said that Karachi is the world’s most drug-addicted city, second only to New York, and marijuana is the most often used narcotic.
Most of the illegal drugs are supplied to Pakistan from its neighboring country, Afghanistan. According to research conducted, after Newyork, Karachi is home to the most drug consumers in the world.
He further stated that all forms of narcotics, including alcohol, heroin, crystal meth, sleeping pills, and co*caine, are so widely accessible nowadays that they can be ordered online and delivered to one’s home.
Cocaine and ecstasy, according to an official, are growing increasingly popular, particularly among upper-class adolescents in several urban regions.

The drug that is used the most is marijuana. Its use is more widespread among young people. Besides marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy are also gaining popularity among the youth of the upper class. Alcohol, heroin, crystal meth, sleeping pills, and cocaine are also consumed in large amounts. The aforementioned drugs are easily available.
One of the reasons for the increased availability of drugs, according to an anti-narcotics officer, is their low pricing.
According to experts, the causes for the proliferation of drugs include parents’ lack of attention, lack of interest in school, lack of jobs, and parents’ inability to warn their children about the hazards of drugs.
