Actor Sanjay Dutt is as much known for his drug habits and the AK-47 episode as his films. He fell prey to drugs immediately after Mother India Nargis succumbed to cancer. He has said a number of times that this was the darkest phase of his life.

Munna Bhai Sanjay Dutt now strongly wishes to set up drug rehabilitation centres across India to help people come out of this fatal addiction. He said that he is looking forward to the government for help in this matter and once that happens details will soon be circulated.

Munna Bhai said that a person under the effect of drugs must be aware of the dangerous effects it brings into a person’s life. He mentioned that since everyone cannot afford the expensive treatments and rehabs, he is planning to open affordable centres in India.

Drug abuse causes health problems for a person. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) clearly states that drugs can cause lung and/or cardio-vascular disease, stroke, cancer and also mental disorders. Mental disorders can be anything from anxiety, depression and even schizophrenia.

Drugs weaken the immune system, cause cardiovascular conditions (heart attacks and abnormal heart rates); can cause liver failure, seizures. They also affect the brain’s reward circuit. Drugs create paranoia, aggressiveness, hallucinations, impulsiveness and also loss of self control.
