In itself, the concept of narcotism is very extensive and complex, due to its specificity and the set of circumstances that characterize this concept. We consider features of drug addiction, the reasons of emergence and development of this phenomenon are revealed. There are two groups of causes of narcotism: social and physiological. The first group is the most numerous, and the second group without interrelation with social conditions some scientists don't recognize. Narcotism is a very destructive phenomenon that destroys the human body and its social personality, causes dependence. We consider the mechanism of reliance on drugs in two aspects: human adaptation to drugs, physical and mental dependence. Physical and psychological dependence is the most dangerous for a person who has used drugs for the first time. In the future, they form harmful to humans, the habit of consumption of “poison”. We reveal and consider the aspects of society destruction under the influence of this phenomenon. Narcotism has a destructive impact on society, as it contributes to the development of diseases and crime.
