TermDefinition
Alcohol The world's most popular drug and legally used in most countries. Alcohol is produced through the fermentation of fruits, vegetables or grains.
Narconon A drug rehabilitation program using L. Ron Hubbard's technology. It is a non-religious, non-profit organization that was originally organized in Arizona State Prison by an inmate who was himself a drug addict. He put to use the basic principles of the mind contained in books by L. Ron Hubbard and, by doing so, completely cured his addiction and helped twenty other inmates do the same. Narconon means non-narcotics or no drugs. There are now Narconon centers in many areas around the world. In the Narconon program, no drugs whatever are used for withdrawal, and the usual withdrawal effects, such as those experienced by quitting drugs "cold turkey," are most often completely avoided.

Here's what one of the kids in Hawaii had to say after viewing "Marijuana The Myth" video:

"Dear Mr. Mau, I really appreciated your sponsoring of the drug video. I think many teens learned from the presentation made by the teacher in the movie. There are to many people who have the wrong information concerning drugs, and it was time to get the true facts. I never knew that drugs will stay in your system for life! That really changed how I feel about drugs. You informed us on how drugs make you feel and gave us facts on the long term effects. Some people believe that Marijuana does not have a long term effect or stay in the system for a long time. After viewing your video we now have correct facts, and can make the right choices. I feel that the drug video was important to see, and I hope other young people can learn from it as I did. Sincerely, 10th Grader"
