Drug addiction is a significant issue that affects individuals' bodily and mental health, family and social relationships, and society as a total. The rising incidences of drug addiction are global concerns, with policymakers, administrators, and social activists worldwide working to address this issue. Legislation plays an essential role in controlling drug-related issues, aiming to mitigate the harmful sound effects of drug abuse on individuals and the social order. This paper presents a cognitive and empirical analysis of drug control legislation, focusing on its impact, effectiveness, and challenges. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the study examines the cognitive processes involved in drug policy decision-making and the empirical evidence supporting different legislative measures. The analysis highlights the complexities of drug control legislation, including the tension between enforcement and public health approaches, the influence of socio-cultural factors on policy outcomes, and the need for evidence-based interventions.
