Church of Scientology International Presents Effective Drug Solutions

Recognizing that we are all involved in the war on drugs, and that it can really only be won on a one on one basis, the Church of Scientology International has created this web site, featuring an on-line copy of the booklet Freeing Society from Drugs. This free Scientology booklet provides vital information on the underlying causes of the drug problem and effective programs to help prevent and check the spread of this epidemic.

Essays on the Drug Problem

L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, did extensive research into the cause and remedies of drug problems. He described his breakthrough in the following essay.

“The planet has hit a barrier which prevents any widespread social progress—drugs and other biochemical substances. “These can put people into a condition which not only prohibits and destroys physical health but which can prevent any stable advancement in mental or spiritual well-being.” Full article >>

In an article from 1969, Mr. Hubbard described the launch of a social application of his drug rehabilitation technology.

“Scientology is closely cooperating with the government in programs to handle the drug-addiction problem now becoming chronic in society. “Drug addicts have been found to have begun drug taking because of physical suffering or hopelessness. In one country a Scientology pilot project has been in progress for about a year... some 50 percent of the committed addicts have recovered and have not been recommitted. By eradicating in the addict the cause of the original suffering or hopelessness, the need of drugs is voluntarily dispensed with by the former addict.” Full article >>

Concerned about the effects of drugs on the individual and the culture, Scientologists and Scientology churches are very active in working to handle drug problems in their communities.

One such program sponsored by the Scientology churches is the “Drug-Free Marshals”.

The Church of Scientology International created and launched the Drug-Free Marshals youth drug-education and prevention program in 1993 to educate children as young as 6 on the dangers of drugs, and to challenge them to remain drug-free.

Freedom Magazine

Freedom Magazine, published by the Church of Scientology International in the United States, and its 20 affiliated editions of magazines and journals published by Scientology churches in 16 more countries, look into the underlying social causes of the drug problem and present constructive ideas on how these problems can be solved.

It also regularly features drug education and prevention programs of Scientology churches in such countries as Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Greece, Italy, and throughout the United States.

“Scientologists do not stand ready to punish drug takers or reform a whole society on the subject. But they do stand ready and are active in helping anyone or any government to handle the problem.” — L. Ron Hubbard
