The Act also addresses prevention, rehabilitation, and treatment of drug addicts. Offenses include cultivation of opium, trafficking of heroin, cannabis, cocaine, and other controlled substances. The law is stringent, leaving limited scope for bail in serious cases. It also emphasizes international cooperation to combat drug trafficking. Overall, the NDPS Act serves as a comprehensive legal framework to control drugs and maintain public health and safety.
