With cocaine manufacture reaching record highs and overdose deaths due to fentanyl increasing by 279 percent in the U.S. since 2016, the message of the day is clear: the ill effects of drugs must be prevented by educating society about their true dangers.<\/p>\n

To mark the day, Scientology Network is airing a special marathon of shows focused on raising awareness of the damaging effects of drugs and showcasing individuals and organizations taking the fight against drugs to the streets, schools and communities around the world.<\/p>\n

And as long as I\u2019ve got breath in my body, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
