LETS BRING THE TRUTH TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION!
Drugs destroy billions of lives every year. Popularised in the 1960s by music and mass media, today they invade all aspects and levels of society. The problem has many faces. From the university student partying for 3 days straight on an ecstasy or meth-amphetamine fueled rave, to the school child addicted to Ritalin (methylphenidate); from the mother who cannot get through a day without taking pills for depression, to the CEO addicted to cocaine. According to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime's 2005 World Drug Report, an estimated 200 million people, or 5% of the world's population between the ages of 15 and 64, consume illegal drugs. This is an increase of 15 million drug users over the previous year. Marijuana is the most widely abused drug of choice in Australia, with ecstasy second and meth-amphetamine (known as Ice) ranking third per the latest United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report released mid 2006. With over 78,781 drug abuse treatment episodes, millions of dollars are being spent, taxing our social services and hospital and medical programs, not to mention the costs through law enforcement, with 79,026 arrests related to drugs during 2003-2004. This does not even count the destroyed lives of the family who have to go through the pain of having a loved one on drugs. And then there is the cost to the individual user. Abuse of alcohol and illicit drugs costs society an estimated $276 billion annually. Substance abusers incur 300% higher medical costs than non-abusers. They are one-third less productive on the job and 2.5 times more likely to be absent from work either or more days a year. While we can prosecute drug dealers and try to stop their network, anyone who has worked in the field for any length of time knows that to be a never-ending task without other programs in place. It is not one we should stop - keeping the drug off the streets is a start and our law enforcement officials are working hard to stop the supply. But we also have to stop the demand for illicit drugs with the user and we need to do much, much more to reverse the trend that is creeping into our society that taking drugs is “cool” or “okay” and a normal fact of life. IT ISNT! All methods to promote drug-taking profit only one source - the drug seller. The idea that a drug can fix problems, be it mood, behaviour, or just being bored is false; it simply is a cover-up, leaving the real problem sitting there unsolved. I want to provide factual information that young people and their parents can read to really educate them before they start on drugs. And Im doing so through lectures and booklets. I’ve spoken to countless youth in Australia one-on-one about drugs and what they know about drugs. The reality is that they know little to nothing. They have heard many false statements that make them think the harm is far less than it is. There is a lack of comprehensive available information about the full effects of drugs - what they do, the short-term effects and the long-term effects and the lasting mental problems that can result. These ten booklets tell the TRUTH straight up. Contact me if you’d like a copy for yourself, your kids, students, friends
Television
Make sure you're informed and know the truth. Education is a human right that we sometimes take for granted. Check out this quick clip...
SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT: Scare tactics don't work. Moralizing about the evil of drugs also doesn't work. So these educational materials don't do that. The fact is that drug use, does not actually mean the user gains knowledge about that drug. Our surveys show this. The booklets on this page provide information in an honest, straight-forward manner so that you, your friends and family can make an intelligent choice to remain drug-free.
I can also provide information on why people take drugs in the first place and actions one can take to prevent this. I have been working in this area for over 10 years with positive results and drug-free lives created.
I am raising money to get 1 million of these books printed and distrubuted. This is a registered and tax deductable charity. I would love any donations, even $1...which buys ten books!
Heroes
people. people everywhere are my heroes. it never ceases to amaze me how absolute strangers put their hand up and want to help out. its just so frickin great! more specifically, my heroes are people that stand up for what they believe and speak loudly about it, not matter how long they have to stand, how uncomfortable it may be or how "unpopular" what they are standing for.
bono..."To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater."
martin luther king..."Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
nelson mandella..."Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. "
opes..."Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it."
elie wiesel..."I have no doubt that faith is only pure when it does not negate the faith of another. I have no doubt that evil can be fought and that indifference is no option. I have no doubt that fanaticism is dangerous. And of all the books in the world on life, I have no doubt that the life of one person weighs more than them all. "
