This week, in recognition of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, Narconon Georgia staff members joined the efforts of Narconon centers across the world reminding the world of the United Nations slogan "Do drugs control your life? Your life. Your community. No place for drugs".
Founding Narconon member, Gordy Weinand gave interviews to local radio stations while other staff members spoke to law enforcement with the message that if we all work together we can reduce the number of individuals who fall prey to drugs each year.
While drug trends and statistics are interesting, it is no surprise to anyone on this planet that the drug problem is out of control. Most understand that drugs and the resultant crime are at the root of many familial and social ills. According to Gordy Weinand, the point that is missing in all of this is guidance for families and communities as to what to do. Gordy pointed out "Most people are aware that there is a drug problem out there, but many families are unaware that chances are that their own child is being exposed to drugs at school. Any campaign has got to start with educating families. From there, the concerned parents can educate their kids and demand safe schools. Neighborhoods can begin to get clean and drug free zones can begin to expand. We have to start somewhere NOW."
Through effective drug prevention and rehabilitation Narconon of Georgia will continue to spread the word.
