G. di Gennaro Abuse of drugs has reached such magnitude that it is
regarded by most govern ments, scholars, and experts as one of the
major problems of present-day society. The highest values of
individuals and social groups are strongly attacked or are at risk
as a result of the spread of drug abuse. As a consequence, society
is deprived of the contribution of many of its members toward the
establishment of better condi tions of life. On the other hand,
considerable portions of the limited resources of so ciety are
diverted to assist, cure, and rehabilitate drug addicts. The
enormous gains derived from illicit traffic in drugs are
contributing tremendously to the strengthen ing of criminal
organizations and the rise of new aggressive criminal syndicates.
The financial means of these groups are invested in illegal
enterprises which extend the criminals' power to various sectors of
the economy. One should recognize that the vast criminal network
which is behind this crimi nal big business has achieved such
strength that it acts as a counter-power. Corrup tion,
racketeering, oppression, and illicit influences are among the
dreadful ele ments which unavoidably accompany drug trafficking.
The price paid for this by humanity is incommensurate."
