Tolerance of Drug Abuse in Vancouver harms Drug Prevention Efforts

People openly deal drugs, use drugs and fix outside, in clubs and in public areas without hesitation. Take a walk down Granville St in Vancouver any late afternoon and count how many times you’re offered drugs to purchase, how many instances of drugs use or intoxication you observe and you’ll get a sense of the severity of the level of ‘cultural acceptance’ or ‘tolerance of drug abuse/ misuse in Vancouver.

Surrey, Abbotsford, North & West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and many other cities have similar drug abuse problems.

Kids in grade 10 in Vancouver high schools respond well when given the Truth about Drugs in a narrative style that holds back nothing from the kids. Kids know when they are being told the straight facts about drugs, alcohol and it’s effects on the person.

Narconon Vancouver Drug Education Responses

Here are a couple of responses from high school kids after 1 hour drug education presentations:

One of the counselors summarized the responses from the kids in these statements in a Thank You card:

“You were positively received by the majority of the students according to the follow-up evaluations. Some of the comments were:

• didn’t tell us what to do
• I learned about how drugs stay in your body
• answers all our questions with complete understanding
• liked the personal connection to his stories (open honesty)

I think your session worked really well and I hope to be in touch with you next year . .

I spent the entire morning and afternoon in Surrey, BC delivering drug prevention education – and I didn’t talk about drugs for more than 1 minute!

The best and most persuasive methods of drug prevention is LIFE and finding something valuable to live for.

Surrey, BC drug prevention activities are not so much about learning about drugs, but about learning about life and ourselves. Goal setting and our emotions are one key aspect of life.

Goals & Emotions in Drug Prevention

Learning about the different emotions in life and how emotions relate to the decisions and actions one takes is drug prevention. That’s how drug prevention in Surrey, BC looked today anyway. Kids haven’t really figured out what emotions have to do with their motions or actions in achieving goals. But by helping kids connect the dots, setting goals and finding things that make one happy is an excellent crime and drug deterrent process.

Health, common sense and security are the major focuses of helping people live lives of integrity and honesty. Drug abuse and often recreational drug use leads to or is just a smaller form of escapism at the cost of mental, emotional and physical health.

In BC, Canada the health care system is a burden on the good citizens who pay into it but not so often use. Instead, individuals who chose to fool around with personal drug experimentation will be ruining their mental, emotional and physical well being. They will make themselves sick with drugs. Thereby, the health care system is unjustly taxed by irresponsible and careless drug abusers who seem to have only their concerns in mind when they smoke, snort, drink or pop themselves into oblivion.

Drug abuse is a social problem, it’s a political problem, it’s a damaging health concern. All of these factors need to be brought into the mix when sorting out solutions to drug abuse.

Narconon Vancouver Prevention education which intervenes before drug abuse begins is the sanest and most economical method of combating a fight against stupidity and greed for personal profit.
