Drug use is a growing social problem and poses a significant threat to Indonesian society. Abuse of drugs not only affects the individual physically and mentally, but also impacts many aspects of life, such as family, friendships, sense of security, and societal norms. Furthermore, the surrounding environment can also lead people to experience drugs for the first time. The purpose of this article is to discuss the relationship between the social environment and drug cases and to illustrate its effects on people's lives. The approach used is library research, examining various books, scientific journals, laws, and official reports related to drugs. The results indicate that family discord, peer influence, and weak supervision are the strongest triggers for drug use. These effects include damaged family relationships, the emergence of psychological disorders, increased crime, impaired social regulation, and reduced work performance. So, it is clear that there must be cooperation from all parties, starting from families, schools, communities, and the government, to carry out prevention, rehabilitation, and social strengthening efforts so that we have a healthy, safe, and free environment from drug abuse.
