Solution to World-Wide Drug Abuse Starts at Grass Roots Level


by NCinDC

In America alone, 50% of school children have experimented with an illicit drug or are using one. At the same time, youths are exposed to drugs earlier and earlier in their lives, with some using marijuana as young as ten years old. That is not to mention Ritalin—now referred to as “Kiddie Coke” on the street. A psychotropic drug prescribed to millions of children, Ritalin is today a bestselling drug. Statistically proven, young users suffer more illnesses, miss more days of school, and are more prone to engage in criminal conduct than their non-using peers. On the heels of the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC) 2006 World Drug Report, and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s call to “arm people with the information they need,” the Foundation for a Drug-Free World provides 13 powerful and enlightening “Truth About Drugs” information booklets. These booklets dispel the myths associated with today’s most abused drugs and reveal the true negative effects and dangers of drugs such as Ecstasy, Cocaine, Ritalin, Marijuana, Crack, Crystal Meth and other harmful drugs. As humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard stated that “the road out is the road of increased awareness”. And on these basis, over 20 millions of The Truth About Drugs booklets have been distributed on the beaches and through community groups in the past two years all over the world. As media and community activists learn about the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, word is getting out fast that the booklets are an excellent resource for groups to use in their own drug prevention programs. At the present, information booths, contests, drug-free youth clubs and drug education lectures are being scheduled throughout the world by the different Chapters, with trained lecturers made available to speak on the materials covered in the booklets.
For information about the program, or to schedule a lecturer, receive copies of the booklets or report on situations involving drug abuse go to www.drugfreeworld.org
