Winning the War Against Drugs

Scientologists are very much involved in helping young people avoid the tragedy of drug addiction.

An example is IAS medal winners Michael Neilson and Asa Graaf.

Freedom Magazine described their winning the IAS Freedom Medal as follows:

Arresting the decline of drug proliferation was the first topic in Mr. Miscavige‘s round-up of year number 19‘s accomplishments. It was, as well, the cause championed by the evening‘s first IAS Freedom Medal winners Michael Neilson and Asa Graaf, leaders of a team of drug education specialists in Sweden who, in Mr. Miscavige‘s words, are “doing more to handle the drug problem than any other group on the planet.”

Neilson and Graaf set out ten years ago to save Swedish children from a drug problem of epic proportions. In that time, they have not only salvaged an entire generation, they have created a nationwide movement for a drug-free tomorrow.

The Church of Scientology International has created the Scientology Anti-Drug web site to answer questions about drugs and provide enough information to help young people decide NOT to take drugs.

Knowing the fact presented in this site about the most commonly abused drugs can make all the difference.
