This year\u2019s UN campaign<\/a> emphasizes the need \u201cto raise awareness about the devastating consequences of drug use, including physical and psychological harm, overdose deaths, and societal problems,\u201d and \u201cthe need for evidence-based policies based on science, human rights, compassion, and knowledge.\u201d It is for exactly this reason that the Foundation\u2019s Truth About Drugs initiative exists.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople are not well informed about what drugs are and what they do,\u201d says the campaign\u2019s national executive director for Italy, Oreste Depaoli. \u201cThere are active campaigns in our society that make it look like drugs do no harm,\u201d he says. But if people understand what drugs are and what they really lead to, they can make their own decisions on this vital subject and opt to live drug-free.<\/p>\n The world\u2019s largest nongovernmental drug education program, active in 196 nations, the Foundation\u2019s Truth About Drugs initiative has been filling the need for evidence-based drug education for more than 25 years. Experience has proven that scare tactics don\u2019t work, but factual, specific, and well-documented information does, which is exactly what the Foundation\u2019s Truth About Drugs initiative provides.<\/p>\n The Say No to Drugs Motogiro Nazionale is one of many drug prevention events taking place this month throughout Italy. The work of Oreste Depaoli and Dico No Alla Droga Italy to save youth throughout the country from the devastating effects of drugs is featured in an episode of Voices for Humanity<\/em><\/a> on the Scientology Network.<\/p>\n Scientology Churches and Scientologists support the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, whose materials are provided free of charge to schools, civic groups, governments, law enforcement, and individuals and institutions in the private sector. The Truth About Drugs program is inspired by author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who found that \u201cthe single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n To learn more, take the free drug education course<\/a> on the Foundation for a Drug-Free World website<\/a>, watch the Drug-Free World public service announcements<\/a> and The Truth About Drugs\u2014Real People, Real Stories<\/a> documentary on the Scientology Network, and episodes of Voices for Humanity<\/em><\/a> to see the program in action.
