Drugs have been part of our culture since the midpoint of the last century. Even more broadly popularized in the 1960s by music and mass media, today drugs invade all aspects of society. The problem has many faces—from the corporate CEO addicted to cocaine, to the housewife who cannot get through a day without the pills she takes for depression; from the college student dancing wildly for three days straight during an ecstasy-fueled rave, to the third grader addicted to Ritalin.
It is likely that nearly everyone knows a friend, relative or co-worker who has been affected by drugs.
Yet remarkably, amid this sea of chemical solutions to the problems of living, one group has remained 100 percent drug-free*—members of the churches of Scientology. Scientologists use neither street drugs nor any of the dangerous mind-altering pharmaceuticals pushed as a solution to everything from depression to being overweight.

Drugs not only threaten one physically but spiritually.
........................... To Scientologists, the reason is simple: drugs not only threaten one physically but spiritually.
Scientology is based on the research and writings of author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, who spent more than a half-century researching basic truths about the mind and spirit. The goal of the Scientology religion is to enable all people to achieve greater awareness and true spiritual freedom.
Mr. Hubbard discovered drugs to be a primary impediment to spiritual progress. Drugs make people less aware, shut them off from the fruits of observation, destroy education, shatter families and result in a myriad of disabilities. And even long after an individual has stopped taking drugs, he can continue to be adversely affected by them, for drug residuals remain in the body and can continue to trigger negative emotional reactions for many, many years.
Fortunately, Mr. Hubbard developed a way which can fully free the individual from the debilitating spiritual effects of drug use, and today millions of Scientologists around the world attest to the workability of his methods.
Deeply concerned about the drug problem and its destructive societal effects, the Church and its members have worked for five decades to help resolve the problem by providing to all who seek them the real and workable solutions developed by Mr. Hubbard.

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.
The Church of Scientology International and Scientology churches in countries around the world publish and distribute booklets that lay out the real effects of commonly used drugs. Popular with educators, parents and kids, these booklets speak to youth, presenting the real facts about heroin, cocaine, marijuana and ecstasy to answer their questions and help them make their own decisions about what they are going to do with their lives.
To get copies of these booklets, contact the public affairs director of your local church of Scientology or mailto:info@thinkclearly.org. We also welcome you to contact us about providing drug-education and prevention lectures, setting up chapters of the Drug-Free Marshals or to work with us in any capacity to help eliminate this epidemic.
