JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS!!

Is it just me or has anyone else come to the conclusion that our society places too much attention and emphasis on illness?

We build hospitals and medical facilities all over the place. We have "drug" stores. TV is full of advertisements for this ache or that, this life-threatening illness or that, pills for this, pills for that, new diseases every day. You can't watch television these days without being bombarded with commercials for drugs.

In fact there is so much ill-health in our society that our cities, governments, hospitals, and citizens can't keep up. There isn't enough money. There aren't enough doctors. There aren't enough nurses. There aren't enough hospitals. It's like illness itself has become a disease.

LET'S FOCUS ON HEALTH 

At the same time, it is like illness has become big business. How many people are employed in the medical industry/profession? How many companies make their living off of the medical industry (profession)? Let's see - medical and drug researchers, drug manufacturers, drug distributors, laboratories, medical equipment manufacturers, hospitals, nursing homes, doctors, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, drugstores, pharmacists....

I am not denying that there are physical conditions that benefit from medicines or surgeries. But, shouldn't we focus our attention on what causes the illness? Shouldn't we focus on health rather than on sickness? Wouldn't it be more productive to focus on CAUSES (prevention) instead of EFFECTS (symptoms)?

What would you do if the lawn in your backyard died every year while the lawn in your front yard was healthy? What would you do to handle it? Would you dig up the dead grass and re-sod your backyard every year or, would you find out WHAT IS CAUSING the grass to die and then correct that (change the soil, remove grubs, fix drainage, etc)?

DRUGS AND SOCIETY 

LEGAL & ILLEGAL DRUG USE

DRUGS DESTROY MILLIONS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR.

An estimated 200 million people worldwide consume illegal drugs. The most disturbing aspect of this is that more and more young people are being introduced to drugs, and at an even earlier age.

The causes? Greed, cheap prices, endorsements, and million-dollar marketing campaigns. The production and sale of drugs (both legal and illegal) have become big business. Watched TV lately?

WITH ANY DRUG the amount taken determines the effect. A small amount acts as a stimulant. A greater amount acts as a sedative. A larger amount can kill. THIS IS TRUE OF ALL DRUGS.

RESIDUES FROM DRUGS and other toxins lodge in the body's fatty tissues and stay there, even years after they have been ingested, and can continue to affect the individual adversely long after the effect of the drug has "worn off".

DRUGS BLOCK OFF SENSATIONS - the desirable ones with the unwanted. Drugs might have short-term value in the handling of pain, but they also WIPE OUT ABILITY, ALERTNESS, AND CLOUD ONE'S THINKING.

FOUNDATION FOR A DRUG-FREE WORLD 

Anti-Drug Video: In Support of a Drug-Free World

Rather than merely preaching about the danger of drugs, the Church of Scientology's Say No to Drugs initiative presents information—the unadulterated facts of drugs and their effects—in a series of ten educational booklets. The campaign additionally mobilizes younger children as "Drug-Free Marshals" to dissuade classmates from usage. Results consistently prove astonishing, with up to 20 and 30 percent declines in usage rates wherever the campaign rolls. Distinguished individuals speak out on behalf of the Church of Scientology's Say No to Drugs — Say Yes to Life anti-drug initiative.
