I always enjoy delivering drug prevention education talks to Metro Vancouver schools. Recently I was out in the valley and spoke with 200 kids and some adults about the dangers of drugs. I focused on the ‘teenage’ drugs like weed, X and alcohol.

The subject of the 4 talks I did was ‘Drugs & the Body’. The hour long Narconon drug prevention education talk focuses on how long drugs stay in the body, how they effect people’s thoughts, behaviors and health. The worst problems about drug use is the longer term consequences that come back to bite you later, often when least expected.

The high school students gained some simple, memorable and useful understandings about how their bodies work. The drug education talk on ‘Drugs in the Body’ give students a self realization that drugs are far more dangerous than they realized. Some students decided to quit using drugs altogether. Other students strengthened their resolve to avoid drugs at all costs.

All the students enjoyed the hour long drug prevention presentations as much as I enjoyed delivering them.
