Drugs are substances that are dangerous because they affect a person's mental or psychological condition, be it a person's thoughts, behavior or feelings where the side effect of using this drug is addiction or causes dependence on this substance or material. This study aims to examine in depth the dimensions of knowledge, attitudes and actions as triggers in drug abuse behavior. The results showed that the knowledge possessed by students was still low so that it became a trigger to behave as drug abusers. The attitude of students who tend to accept when offered to use drugs becomes a trigger to behave as drug abusers The actions of drug abuse students in consuming drugs are a manifestation of the low knowledge about the dangers of using drugs and an attitude of acceptance when offered to use drugs. Thus, it is recommended for the government to continue to make educational efforts in order to increase knowledge about drugs for the community in general and adolescents in particular. In addition, it is also recommended to the public not to be permissive regarding the presence of drug abusers Keywords : Drugs; triggers; knowledge; attitude; action.
