Abstract

Nowadays a lot of societies are facing the problem of growing casual drug abuse. This challenge isn’t new to humanity, but it has been modified by the modern world conditions and has acquired new aspects: drug use is no longer a peripheral phenomenon limited to local traditional practices, but a widely accessible means of recreation. The ontological basis of narcotization problem is the experience of being detached from the world that comes from subject-object cognitive frame arising from the corresponding basic language structure. Education has the potential to counter this problem. In order to use this potential it is necessary to realize what causes narcotization as well as the appropriate strategy of solving this problem. The major points of this strategy are: to create and to popularize an alternative lifestyle image; to inform the participants of education systems that the problem is not their unique experience, but a long-standing issue well-known to humanity; to establish obligatory medical control in educational institutions. Authors analyze the basis for addiction development in common mind as well as antinarcotization potential of education. The first part of the article is devoted to common mind specific inner causes of addiction development analysis. The second part of the article describes the “major” and the “minor” narcotization problems and estimates the potential of education as a factor which could counter them. Potential strategies involving educational tools that could solve the “minor” narcotization problem are suggested.
