VOICES FOR HUMANITY<\/a> airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET\/PT on Scientology Network.<\/p>\n

Washington was the first state to legalize the sale of marijuana for recreational use. In the aftermath of that legislation, drug-related crimes, drug overdose deaths and suicides (where toxicology tests indicated marijuana use) soared. Dave Scattergood understood clearly the tragedies that awaited young people who were not made aware of the true dangers of drugs. In turn, he partnered with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, delivering the truth about drugs to help reverse the trend ushered in with the legalization of cannabis. Dave has been honored for his work educating over 300,000 people in the Seattle area on the devastating impact of drugs.<\/p>\n

ABOUT DAVE SCATTERGOOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Dave Scattergood discovered his passion for drumming at a young age. He went on to play in rock bands during the heyday of Seattle\u2019s grunge scene. While he sidestepped drug use, he witnessed the devastating impact it had on some of Seattle\u2019s brightest talents. Later, after the tragedies accelerated with legalization of recreational marijuana, he grew concerned about his own kids being misled down the path of drug use. It was a \u201ccall-to-arms moment,\u201d and he fought back by partnering with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World and educating kids on the real dangers of drugs. Today, Dave works with schools, government and civic institutions to bring the Truth About Drugs to Seattle\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n
