Аннотация:
Мақолада гиёҳвандлик билан курашиш билан бир
қаторда, дардга чалинганларга тиббий ёрдам бериш зарурати кўриб
чиқилади. БМТ ва миллий таҳлилий материаллар асосида катталар, ёшлар
ва вояга етмаганларнинг гиёҳвандлик ларидига чалинишига оид тиббий
муаммолар таҳлил қилинади. Ушбу масалалар бўйича миллий
қонунчиликдаги сўнгги ўзгаришлар ҳақида фикр сурилади.

Гиёҳвандлик воситалари, уларнинг аналоглари ва психотроп
моддалар билан қонунга хилоф равишда муомала қилишга оид жиноятлар
аҳоли соғлиғига, жамиятнинг иқтисодий ва маънавий негизига жиддий
таҳдид солади, оилавий муносабатларга салбий таъсир кўрсатади, бошқа
ижтимоий муаммолар келтириб чиқаради.
Гиёҳвандлик – наркотик моддаларга ўрганиб қолиш, аниқроғи,
табиий ёки заҳарли синтетик моддаларни (айрим дори моддалари)
вақтинча ёки сурункасига истеъмол қилиш натижасида келиб чиқадиган
касаллик. Гиёҳвандлик танада ва руҳиятда жиддий ўзгариш юз беришига
сабаб бўлади ва гиёҳвандни таназзулга олиб боради. Бу эса ўз навбатида,
нафақат гиёҳвандга, балки бутун жамиятга кўплаб зарар етказади.

conditions (parents are alcoholics or drug addicts) and easy access to drugs are
also causes of drug addiction.
The harms of drug addiction to society are many. A person who suffers
from it has no interest in himself first, then in his family, profession or studies. It
is especially sad that the young generation, which is the main force of
production and development, is the first victim of drug addiction. In particular,
according to the latest World Drug Report published by the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), in 2020, approximately 270 million people
around the world used drugs (cannabis, opium), which is 5.2% of the world's
population. [1].
The same report on drug use trends states, "In 2020, cannabis is the most
widely used psychoactive substance in the world, with an estimated 209 million
people using it worldwide. However, opioids continue to pose the greatest
threat to human health." Over the past decade, opioid overdose deaths account
for two-thirds of all drug-related deaths, with an increase of 92 percent among
men compared to 63 percent among women.[1]
The negative consequences of this problem are not only for the individual
or society, but also for the development of the whole country, and it can cause
the political system and legislation to fail.
As stated in the UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and
Psychotropic Substances, "in many regions of the world, children appear as
illegal consumers of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances and use these
drugs in the organization of their illegal production and trafficking, which is
serious in itself. is becoming a danger...".[2]
According to the legislation, those guilty of illegal preparation, acquisition,
storage, transportation or sending of small amounts of narcotic drugs, their
analogues without the intention of transferring psychotropic substances are
subject to administrative liability in all cases. If these actions are carried out for
the purpose of transfer, the act is qualified by part 1 of Article 273 of the Civil
Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Therefore, the injection (syringe) of narcotic drugs, their analogs and
psychotropic substances by one person to another, if this drug or substance
belongs to the consumer himself and the injection was made at his request, is
not considered illegal transfer.
In cases related to crimes related to the illegal handling of narcotic drugs,
their analogues, and psychotropic substances, a narcological examination should
be conducted in necessary cases to determine whether the culprit is addicted to

drugs or intoxication and to decide whether to send him to compulsory
treatment, if in the conclusion of the narcological examination, the person is
forced if it is concluded that he needs treatment, in accordance with Article 96 of
the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, compulsory treatment for drug
addiction or intoxication is prescribed for a person, in which compulsory
treatment can be assigned not only to prisoners who have been deprived of their
freedom, but also to prisoners who have been sentenced to a sentence that is not
related to the deprivation of their freedom.
The spread of drug addiction among young people is more dangerous than
the spread among adults. Addiction of one of the youth directly causes great
damage to the family to which he belongs, which can be seen mainly in the
following:
• violation of marital relations;
• increase of diseases;
• impoverishment;
• birth of a disabled child;
• failure of children's upbringing;
• teach this vice to their children;
• loss of human qualities and degradation;
• many cases of family breakdown and orphaning of children.
Allah Almighty has given countless blessings to man, and the servant
should use the blessings given to him in a way that is useful for the life of this
world and the hereafter. He says in the Holy Qur'an: "Do not forget your destiny
with what Allah has given you and your destiny in this world. Give charity (to
people) as God has given you charity! Don't want to mess up on the ground.
Because God does not love the corrupters" (Surah Al-Qasas, verse 77) or in
another place: "Also eat and drink, (but) do not waste! Because he does not love
the spendthrift." (Surah A'raf, verse 31)
In this place, the deputy chairman of the republican social and information
center Sh. According to Kasimova, the issue of "drug stores" is brought up in
each of our events organized by the Center. "What will happen if young people
take 2-3 types of psychotropic drugs together?" questions arise. From this it can
be said that there are cases of doing this among young people.
We implemented a project among girls from the socially vulnerable group
aged 14-18 in Tashkent. Among girls with severe behavior, 4 drug or
psychotropic substance users were identified. When we asked 17-18-year-old
girls about when they started this business, they answered that they were 14-15

years old. They said that at first they took 1 or 2 psychoactive pills a day, but
now they are taking 40 a day. There are no family conditions for treatment.
Unfortunately, even at the state level, there is no system to help such girls" [4].
But now, the situation in this matter will change. On May 6 of this year, the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan signed the decree No. PF-73 [5] "On
strategic measures to eliminate the negative impact of narcotic drugs and
psychotropic substances on the public health and the gene pool of our country
by putting an end to the illegal circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic
substances in the Republic of Uzbekistan". According to the decree, the national
strategy for combating drug addiction and drug crimes for 2024-2028 was
adopted.
The following measures are planned within this National Strategy:
• A republican fund will be established for the development of the field of
combating drug addiction.
• For early detection of drug use among schoolchildren, the practice of
scheduled psychologist and, if necessary, narcologist consultations is introduced.
• An electronic platform "Toward a Healthy Life" will be created for
women and young people in difficult social situations.
• Latent addicts are identified by creating a social mobile application that
provides real-time counseling to drug abusers.
• The practice of using VR (Virtual Reality) technology will be established
in the treatment of drug addicts.
• In order to bring the narcology service closer to the population, a Call-
center will be launched, which will provide confidential advice.
In conclusion, in addition to strengthening the medical system, first of all, it is
necessary to further improve the efficiency of work on improving the legal
knowledge of the population about the drug epidemic, the legal culture in
general, the introduction of modern methods of legal education of citizens in
harmony with social and political changes, as well as the population, especially ,
it is necessary to form strong legal immunity to protect young people from
harmful information.
