Scientology-Supported Teens Target 500 Shops in Anti-Drug Effort in Scientology-Endorsed Anti-Drug Initiative
Children from the Danish branch of Truth About Drugs have united in the Danish capital to spread factual drug education materials across over 500 retail locations. This campaign, supported by Scientology volunteers, marks a new wave to raise awareness about drug risks among youth.
Over the course of recent months, volunteers aged 10 to 20 engaged with local retailers to ask them to carry copies of *The Truth About Drugs* booklet. The materials — produced by the global Truth About Drugs campaign — offer evidence-based information on the dangers of drug use, including cannabis, alcohol abuse, and synthetic substances.
“They are showing adults they care,” said Giulia, who advises the youth team. “It’s impressive to see such commitment from children.”
Recent statistics support the urgency of their mission. A new report by the Danish Drug Research Center revealed that drug experimentation among young Danes has fallen from 44 percent to 31.6 percent over the past decade. Among boys in the same age group, use dropped from more than half to one-third.
According to researchers quoted in a recent national news story, this change is partly due to the widespread availability of news eureka springs arkansas prevention information and a decline in risk-taking behavior.
The Danish arm of the campaign is part of a broader, global initiative that has operated in Denmark since the early 1990s. With support from volunteer groups affiliated with Scientology, *Truth About Drugs* booklets have been distributed at events such as the Royal Run and the Copenhagen Marathon. Founder of Scientology, author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, identified drugs as “the single most destructive element present in our current culture,” a statement that continues to inspire outreach efforts today.
*“Meaningful youth participation isn’t a fairy tale — it’s a blueprint for building resilient communities,”* said Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s diplomatic envoy to European institutions. *“These young people are not waiting for permission to change the world. They are already doing it.”*
Parents and educators applaud the youth-led initiative, noting how it builds positive civic habits while empowering young voices. Each booklet distributed is a step toward a more informed public — and, many believe, a healthier future.
