"WHAT ARE DRUGS DOING TO YOU?"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 4, 2004 -- Drugs are the leading cause of crime and violence against our society. Author and Humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard wrote about the effects drugs have on people. Here are quotes from L. Ron Hubbard's writings on the subject of drugs.

"By eradicating in the addict the cause of the original suffering or hopelessness, the need of drugs is voluntarily dispensed with by the former addict."

"One has a choice between being dead with drugs or being alive without them. Drugs rob life of the sensations and joys which are the only reasons for living anyhow."

"People who take drugs do not always see the real world in front of them. They are not really there. On a highway, in casual contact, in a home, they can be very dangerous to you. People mistakenly believe they 'feel better' or 'act better' or are 'only happy' when on drugs. This is just another delusion. Sooner or later the drugs will destroy them physically. Discourage people from taking drugs. When they are doing so, encourage them to seek help in getting off them."

"The addict has been found not to want to be an addict, but is driven by pain and environmental hopelessness.

As soon as an addict can feel healthier and more competent mentally and physically without drugs, than he does on drugs, he ceases to require drugs."

L. Ron Hubbard
