8 Introduction Drug Control in In the light of scientific and technical development, all aspects of human life are under accelerating and relentless changes. It means that today human s awareness should be supplemented and updated constantly in consistent with such accelerating transformation in all areas including drug addiction and its destructive social and economic consequences since this phenomenon is transforming in terms of its apparent format and destructive outcomes due to the impetus of death traffickers. To the same reasons, illicit drug trafficking abuse is, inter alia, an issue that producing and disseminating information about them in any extent is faced with excessive tardiness compared to the needs of the society. Most drug addicts believe that the main reason of their drug dependency is lack of information on its ramifications and consequences. Likewise, police and security forces always report that lack of information is the main reason of not detecting and arresting illicit drug traffickers and gangs. Most importantly, scientists are looking for identifying the reasons of people s propensity to drug abuse and its destructive outcomes in societies which indicate information deficit in this regard. Therefore, publishing books and materials like present report can throw light on a dark part of drug trafficking and addiction problem in this part of the world despite of its limitation in subjects and pages and pave the way for connoisseurs to achieve analytical information based on realities in the context of the society to improve their information about a problem to which all are concurring. This is a report on activities and measures taken by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 213 as the sequel of previous annual reports. In addition to registering the measures which can be used a basis for many studies; it can act as a system to clarify the activities in different field. Put it more clearly, by present report, one can observe inclinations and predispositions to each aspect on drug campaign such as supply and demand reduction programs and to assess the amount of successes in each aspect and the reasons of failures in some events. This report can be respected in terms of scientific methodology and data generation since it has not ignored figures and statistics in elucidating the problems and

9 relevant measures and has also made it possible to compare with past situation, current assumptions and desired status. In many cases, the report has attempted to purse a critical approach. For instance, a part of the report addresses to the reasons of legal failures, inadequacies and gaps as well as the deficiencies of executive recipes and manuals. Obviously, each specialized field should fully aware activities related to its terms of reference while observing these activities in a new format would draw a comprehensive and thorough image of situation and would finally led into a vantage point. Fortunately, feedbacks on different fields including demand reduction in 213 indicate that previous reports have been able to elucidate the problem to some extent. Hopefully, present report on the measures and initiatives taken by the Islamic Republic of Iran in past year gathered by probing DCHQ policies and reviewing the efforts by governmental and non-governmental organization can be used like previous ones and can be confronted by critical and reforming opinions and ideas of anti narcotics practitioners in its different fields and other audiences.
