ARM YOURSELF WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT DRUGS
There is a lot of talk about drugs in the world–on the streets, at school, on the Internet and TV. Some of it is true, some not.
Much of what we hear about drugs actually comes from those selling them. So how accurate is their information? Not very. Reformed drug dealers have confessed they would have said anything to get others to buy drugs.
That is why the Foundation for a Drug-Free World makes factual information available through a series of free drug education booklets. These illustrated publications present the truth about marijuana, crystal meth, Ecstasy, crack, cocaine, heroin, LSD and prescription drug abuse.
The booklets are both easy to understand and compelling and include real stories from former users. They are accompanied with a study guide for use by educators. Millions of copies have already been distributed throughout the world in 22 languages.
Teachers, parents, community and youth workers have saved many lives using these publications. In fact, countless youth have told our volunteers that they had decided not to take drugs after reading one of these booklets.
The Foundation website also features a new series of public service announcements. These short videos are part of an award-winning campaign and were produced to encourage young people to get the facts they need to make informed decisions to be drug-free.
Because the Foundation is supported by donations and sponsorships, we are able to make our publications available for free.
We hope you will find these materials useful. Your feedback is very valuable to us, so we look forward to hearing from you.
