Before the USSR was dismantled, Russia did not participate significantly in the international narcotics markets as a consumer of illicit drugs. With the approach of the new millennium, this situation began to change dramatically. Now, Russia possesses the world's fastest growing drug trafficking and abuse problem without having adequate prevention or treatment programs in place.

Drugs as narcotics well some like morphine were used in medicine (pain killers), but used by drug addicts too. Same as here.
