Nowadays there are lots of different threats to human life. Some are caused by changes in nature or changes in technical development, for example, cars, industrial pollution and others.

One of the most dangerous of these threats is drugs and there are lot of issues and problems related to this. Drugs are not new phenomenon. There is evidence that even Ancient Egyptians had been using some kind of opium. However, it was not like relaxing or intoxication for them. In their lives and understandings it was like a part of their religious rituals but it does not mean that they were not drug addictive. But statistics about drug addiction are shocking and it is not any more a problem somewhere in the world.
