Any mind altering substance is illegal in Islam and hence Pakistan has banned use of any of those substances. Since the poor and the rich are the least likely to follow the edicts of a religion, these classes of society really do not give two hoots about the religious or legal sanctions. These two classes are more caught up with the concerns of the body and of gratifying them in the present. The middle class has usually defined the normal economic state of a country and as the state's financial situation takes a crunch, so does the middle class. Everybody is polarized. The grays finish and the black and whites emerge. (I am not an economist and there is a good chance that I might be wrong in what I said above.)
In the world of animals if survival is at stake the sympathetic hormones make an organism in to a survival machine. All the processes that are unnecessary are shut off and every process is aimed at fighting or flight. All the cognitive processes also go through a similar process. "Insanity" is distortion of reality. And when a three dimensional thing is tried to be understood in two dimensions (for example gray, white black things are tried to be understood in black and white, i.e poles only) of safe or unsafe, insanity occurs.
A system like an economic system which is failing will polarize itself and it will not be able to understand itself in the two dimensional polarity. The middle class needs to be there in Pakistan. It is the class that helps form an identity of a nation.
Because of stress on the system the middle class is "splitting" (a borderline dynamic which is used under extreme stress perceived or otherwise). Some of it is going to the richness and some of it is going to the poverty.
Since both these classes are not uncomfortable in flipping off religion or law, enforcement of drugs is not possible. It is a failing endeavor that the Pakistan government can take up but it will bring no fruition.
Currently the world seems to be moving in to the direction of regulation. Every thing needs to be regulated and counted and inventoried. This is the factory model. The power of numbers is huge and it is beneficial to lead huge numbers to a certain way of living and delude them. Best sellers are a necessity to the hunger of the numbers. In this climate an anti regulation is arising which will have also shot past its intended goal in its fervor. Drugs are the banner of the anti regulation. The hippie movement has still not lost its charm. And for others hippie probably means a 4 ft tall skinny girl's backside. They are lost in their own smoke and snorts and shots and plunges.
