Permissive
drug policies in Vancouver and British Columbia have given marijuana
and other drug users and pushers opportunities to circumvent laws
and police. Even if marijuana grow operations are broken up in Vancouver,
fines of $5,000 and less are imposed, rarely do offenders go to
jail and the operation sets up in another location. Vancouver lays
claim to an estimated 20,000 grow ops. Connections to people involved
with crime and other drugs are not uncommon for those using marijuana
in Vancouver.
Narconon Vancouver was established
to address the FALSE information promoting the safety and 'harmlessness'
of marijuana and other drugs. We are also here to help those already
tricked into using drugs, and offer them a way out of their addiction
or chronic use through a rehabilitation program that works.
Narconon Foundation was incorporated in May of 2001 as
a non-profit organization in Vancouver. We have delivered drug talks
to about 1000 people, mostly kids, put out 4,000 booklets on the
truth about drugs and sent 4 minors to rehab. We are only getting
started.
We welcome your assistance to create
a drug-free city!
Narconon
Foundation is an independent, Non-Profit Corporation serving the
Greater Vancouver area. The purpose of Narconon Foundation is to

youth in groups and schools Narconon refers to the network of over
100 independent drug prevention and/or rehabilitation centers in
over 50 countries. Narconon International is licensed to use the

and drug rehabilitation for secular and social betterment pursuits.
Narconon Foundation has been licensed with Narconon International
since October, 1999. Tibor Palatinus, Executive Director of Narconon
Foundation in Vancouver, BC, has worked for over 5 years as an educator,
tutor and business academy supervisor and is a trained Narconon
Drug Prevention Specialist and Drug Interventionist. He consults
drug users and parents and friends of a drug users on how to save
the addicts life with the Narconon Drug Rehabilitation program He
combines this with 3 years as a toastmaster to bring a fun, refreshing
and EFFECTIVE style to drug education talks. A former drug user
as a teenager, Tibor Palatinus has 'been there as a user' and shares
his experiences freely with the kids to bring reality to each of
his talks. The 'Truth about Drugs Talks" are delivered in a non-judgmental
way without scare tactics, to let the participants draw their own
conclusions about drug use. The talks draw heavily on the latest
research of drug effects on the body, mind and abilities of a person,
combined with real life anecdotal stories which bring the facts
to life. Tibor speaks directly to the participants own unique reality.
Everyone has seen the conviction of a youth when THEY decide for
themselves on a course of action; there is no stopping them. Based
on the surveys answered by the students, a large majority of kids
are deciding to be drug-free or eliminate certain drugs from use
after hearing even one talk.
Tibor Palatinus grew up on the North
Shore and Vancouver. He was a successful athlete in high school,
playing on two to three teams a year throughout to graduation. He
first became interested in nutrition in his senior high school year
when he began selling nutritional products for Shaklee as an independent
distributor. His studies in nutrition at an early age primed him
for further research into the effects of drugs on the body, mind
and life of the person. Having first hand knowledge of how drugs
affected his life, he was ready to share his discoveries with others,
so they too could benefit from a healthy, happy and successful lifestyle
that would not include drugs. He stopped using street drugs 17 years
ago and today uses no drugs at all. He is a member of The Institute
for Ethical Leadership, a group supporting individuals and groups
who contribute toward a better society.
