联合国倡导的禁毒三大策略即减少需求、减少生产、减少伤害，其中减少需求是上策，防患于未然。“金三角”区域各国面对毒品危害，采取禁毒措施，遏制毒品泛滥。为减少毒品需求，东南亚各国十分重视禁毒宣传教育工作，并通过预防教育宣传使民众认识到毒品危害，从而增强拒毒防毒的能力。处于“金三角”区域的老挝、柬埔寨和泰国面对“金三角”毒品从区域内扩散到区域外中转、消费日趋严峻的形势，纷纷颁布禁毒法令，制定毒品预防宣传教育策略，采取实际行动，减少毒品需求，减少新生吸毒人员，毒品预防宣传教育在各国都起到积极作用，然而，随着新型合成毒品在“金三角”生产的激增，周边国家所受毒品危害有增无减，其毒品预防宣传教育工作也面临更多的挑战。
The three anti-drug strategies advocated by the United Nations：reduce demand，reduce production，and reduce harm. Among them，reducing demand is the best policy because it prevents the deal before it happens. Countries in the “Golden Triangle” region have also adopted anti-drug measures to curb the spread of drugs in the face of the proliferation of drugs in order to reduce the demand for drugs. Southeast Asian countries attach great importance to anti-drug publicity and education. Through prevention education and publicity，people are aware of the dangers of drugs，thereby enhancing the ability to resist drugs. Laos，Cambodia，and Thailand in the “Golden Triangle” region have promulgated anti-drug laws，formulated anti-drug publicity and education strategies，and adopted practical actions to reduce drugs in the face of the “Golden Triangle” drugs spreading from the region to the outside of the region，and consumption is increasingly severe. Demand for new drug users is reduced，and drug prevention education has played a positive role in all countries. However，with the rapid increase in the production of new synthetic drugs in the “Golden Triangle”，the harm caused by drugs in neighboring countries is increasing，and drug prevention in neighboring countries also faces more challenges.
