The results of the 2018 BNN and LIPI research stated that 5.5% or the equivalent of 1.1 million people have used drugs in the city of Bandung. This figure is not a small number and cannot be considered as a normal problem. Moreover, the highest contributor to the prevalence rate of drug abuse in West Java is the student group, West Java has several cities that have status as a buffer for the capital and are the distribution of drugs, such as Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Sukabumi. The four cities are currently categorized as drug- prone areas. Various methods are created and developed by drug syndicates to maintain market or consumer sustainability. One of them is the "market regeneration" method. This method is implemented by feeding early childhood with drugs that are "disguised" in food or candy. The goal is that from an early age, he is unconsciously active as a drug user, so that his body will experience tolerance for drugs and mentally will experience addiction or dependence. So that at the age of adolescence or adulthood, the person concerned will become an active user or drug addict and become a potential market share for drug distribution. Here the role of the teacher is needed to guide students in solving problems faced by directing students to more positive behavior, developing student abilities, and providing learning motivation to students. Efforts to prevent drug abuse include the role in school educational institutions, namely continuously and continuously providing knowledge about the dangers of drugs and forming student attitudes so as not to fall into drug abuse. and easily influenced by the environment and peers.
