The Narconon Truth About Drugs talks to school kids has been proven effective for over 30 years in schools. Actually Narconon’s founder William Benitez is quoted from a drug prevention talk he delivered in 1968 to an Arizona High School student population. This was the 1st Narconon drug prevention talk on record and is delivered by the founder of Narconon himself.

Narconon Rehab Founder Quote:

“…the quickest way to hurt a person or a nation or a group, the quickest way to hurt a person’s goals, his aims, his ability, his life, is by introducing that person to narcotics. Whether it’s in the form of a needle, whether it’s in the form of just dropping pills, popping pills, smoking pot, and using LSD. ”

My Addiction Started Smoking Marijuana

When I was 15 years old, I was at one of my friends and he talked me into smoking weed with him.  That’s where it all started.  After smoking pot for about a year, my grades slipped and I stopped caring. Pam, Narconon Rehab Graduate

Marijuana addiction begins with smoking some joints or some bowls and believing that smoking marijuana is no big deal. People believe that the drug only stays with you for a couple of hours or a day or two, there’s the 1st big lie.

Marijuana is so addicting because the marijuana, like crystal meth or ecstasy stays in the body fat for weeks, creating a sedated attitude toward life and living. This is one of the main reasons weed smokers think everything is ‘no big deal’. They’re sedated for at least a week after smoking less than one joint. Why don’t they believe that the weed is effecting them? Because weed lowers or clouds internal awareness, weeds a mild pain killer and a hallucinogen.

Marijuana Education Talks

Getting teens and school aged kids the truth about marijuana and the truth about drugs is vital to curb the incidence of drug addiction later in life. Early emotional, physical and social development is stonewalled by smoking weed in the teen and early years of life.

Drug rehab centers are about rehabilitation, returning a person back to proper function. While some drug abusers can accomplish a full rehabilitation in 30 days, many addictions and life disorders don’t resolve in 30 days. Simply rehab is not completed in the allotted frame of time for recovery. Relapse becomes inevitable, returning a person back to the $700 to $1,000 / day rehab center, to only be released early and relapse or revert back to drug use.

What’s happening here?

Relapse often fails because the rehab program was not properly fitted to the person’s life or drug or alcohol abuse. A TC isn’t rehab. People given a proper and full rehab program would achieve rehabilitation during the course of a rehab program. TC would only be a transition phase out of rehab.

A learning model of rehabilitation would be better fitted for a person with life issues which were not resolving in the conventional 30 day rehab programs. While many executives, business people and successful individuals want to get back to their lives, urgency to return does not mean a rehab program should be shortened for time or work saving purposes.

A full rehab program would help the person come to terms with all aspects of the causes of drug / alcohol abuse, not just the consequences. The learning model of rehab focuses on the causes of addiction and helps a person address those life issues which are ruining their lives. Yes these can be handled. But life is not handled by ignoring or avoiding it.

Rehab is a place where people get their own determinism back to live life on their own terms and taking on their due responsibility for themselves, family, society and the consequences of their behavior on others. That’s a tall order, yet that’s what rehab should be doing.

Are you or a loved one going to accomplish that in 30 days?

Marijuana promotion & marketing scams takes place through various forums such as university studies and funded experiments by pharmaceutical companies and anonymous donors and weed proponents. Trace back many financial, economic and forceful take overs of a country back to addicting young kids and adults to drugs.

Weaken the toughness of a country’s citizens and taking over the country is easy. The aggressors just have to walk in to the country, unchecked by the citizens, politicians or army.

Look at some of the major funders and promoters of drugs and you’ll find foreign corporations, drug users addicted to or infatuated with a drug or drugs, the billions of dollars of drug cartel profits and the list of potential benefactors goes on. Follow and trace back the marketing of drugs with ‘legitimate’ sources and often you’ll find massive drug profits or foreign interests; you’ll also find the who’s of the drug promotion and marketing game.

1. Can you tell use what you thought of the talk and why:

“I thought it was very informing and educational. I really like how things were explained rather than just telling us to ‘don’t do it because it’s bad’”

“Interesting, interactive; enlightening; learning what drugs really are and how they affect the body.”

“It was really funny and knew how to present to our age group”

“The talk was interesting. You learned things that you probably wouldn’t have been informed of if you just went to the usual talks about drugs”

“I thought the talk was really well executed. He didn’t promote any sides or views about drug use, and just informed us”

I thought it was really educational and wasn’t the typical “DON’T DO DRUGS” talk. It helps you make the choice not to do it”

Parents who exert the effort to be involved in their kids lives and help their kids before they get stuck or into trouble, tend to have drug-free happy kids. Simply being interested in what is happening in your kids life, what they want to do and most importantly where they need help and giving them that help is the best assurance of having drug-free happy kids.

But more importantly, the happiness isn’t contained and held for only your kids. Families raising drug-free kids have fewer family trauma’s and tend to succeed with greater ease than kids who use drugs. It’s in a parents best interest to raise drug-free kids, it is your future lives that you’ll be positively building toward. What happens to your kids and the trouble or benefits your kids create will be shared by you.

Raising kids to be drug-free helps to ensure your happiness and well being as a family. So raise drug-free kids for your sake as well as the kids.

Happiness is contagious, but you already knew that.

My sense of being included as opposed to feeling and acting as an outsider is directly attributable to getting together 2 or 3 times per year at the City of Vancouver Creating a Culture of Prevention conferences. I personally have been forming friendly acquaintances, networking and sharing resources amongst the prevention education facilitators and workers. The experience for me as an independent drug prevention specialist has been a long sought for sense of being part of a wonderful caring group of people.

Drug prevention education and harm prevention have been subjects and activities which needed to be reconciled, one with the other. What better way to reconcile these two activities than by bringing together groups which may have felt worlds apart but later to find each other sharing the same room and helpful information while listening to the same noteworthy speakers and presenters.

What’s my take on the task of prevention education in the City of Vancouver and Metro Vancouver? There should be lots more engagement by the people most effected by drugs and alcohol abuse, the children and teenagers. It will be there community, there city and their society in the future. Why not permit teens to have an active role in creating a culture of prevention. It seems ridiculous to think otherwise.

My thanks to the City of Vancouver and all the prevention partners it has assembled to create a finer city and a safer place for children, families and now for not so lonely drug prevention education specialists who just want to do the right thing and give families and kids a better option than drugs and alcohol as a way to live a healthy & happy lifestyle.

Smoking marijuana significantly affects learning capacity and ability. While one could get into brain science to explain why this is, brain science isn’t necessary to observe the obvious. The kid will look at you with a sort of blank,  giddy or even stupid look on their face while you explain that smoking weed impairs learning.

Drug Education on marijuana is best delivered to kids before they’ve smoked up. After they’ve smoked up, learning impairment is rapid and drug education efforts need to compensate for this.

Drug Education About Marijuana

Getting through the tons of drug promotion that is generated by NORML, Cannabis Culture & High Times magazines seems to be a battle of volume. Dope peddlers, pushers, promoters have one goal in common: make drugs, specifically recreational use of drugs like marijuana more popular. That way the drug pusher is a harder target to find in the crowd.

Effective drug education will simple detail the actual ingredients, gases produced, toxic compounds found in marijuana and marijuana smoke. The key to making a drug education talk on marijuana real to kids is to bring it right down to their personal level. Their body, their brain, their health, their cells, their neurons, their goals and how marijuana use affects those directly and indirectly.

I never exaggerate a bad effect and I never promote drug use. I clearly show and explain how drugs like marijuana are going to effect them short and long term. I also tell them how to undo the damaging effects of drug abuse in my drug education talks.
