Scientology Churches Support the UN Day Against Drugs


Scientology churches around the world are taking action today to promote drug-free living.

The Church of Scientology of Tampa, for example, has this news piece on their web site today:

"At a time when illegal drug trafficking generates as much money as the oil industry — upwards of $400 billion a year internationally — and America's taxpayers now pay more than $100 billion as a consequence of illicit drug consumption, Scientologists are dramatically stepping up their two-decade-long efforts to tackle the spread of drug abuse at its source. Leaders of the Church of Scientology International's "Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life" campaign are calling upon community leaders and concerned citizens to join initiatives organized in major cities around the world in observance of the United Nations' International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on Monday, June 26. >> more on the Church of Scientology Tampa web site
