People talk about drugs on the street, among friends, at school, on the Internet, and on TV. But what is the truth about them? A lot of the things you hear are from those using or selling drugs. Reformed dealers say they would have said anything to sell to others, whereas users would have said anything to get somebody to use with them.
Amidst the hype, there are actual facts. The Foundation for a drug-free world has created booklets to either download or order on the most commonly abused drugs. There are 14 illustrated booklets available in 22 languages, written in easy to understand language.
Moreover, on the site, you also can order an educational kit. The Truth About Drugs Education Package is offered to aid educators who teach 11-year-olds and above in a classroom, group instruction, or community learning setting.
They also offer Free Truth About Drugs E-Courses, a series of interactive courses designed so you can learn about drugs at your own pace. In these courses, you’ll find out what drugs are made of, their short- and long-term effects. You will also read about real-life stories from real people on each of the most popular drugs of choice.
The Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a non-profit public benefit corporation that empowers youth and adults with factual information about drugs so they can make informed decisions and live drug-free.
It was established in October 2006 in Los Angeles, California.
Knowing the facts is an essential part of deciding not to engage in drugs. Also, with knowledge comes the ability to help another to stir away from these substances. Drugs can drastically change one’s life. Many have lost control by using “just pot” to do “something with friends” and got to a point where they couldn’t stop. Everybody should have the straight facts on these substances without hype or scare tactics. For more in-depth information on their booklets and courses, visit their site.
