But on the other hand drugs can be dangerous to health if not used according to established rules. This indicates that each drug has a different ratio of benefits and risks and this limit is a measure of drug safety. Based on these facts, knowledge and insight related to drugs are needed starting from the level of childhood education to senior high school to influence the behavior of the use of drugs in the family and community. One form of activity that might be carried out is in the form of a game in drug education called PIANO (smart with drugs).
