Endnotes LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: Estimated Numbers of Lifetime Users of Illicit Drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco in U.S. Population - Aged 12 and Older - 1979-1994 Figure 2: Estimated Numbers of Lifetime Users of Illicit Drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco in U.S. Population in the Past 30 Days - Aged 12 and Older- 1979-1994 Figure 3: Percentages Reporting Past Month Use of any Illicit Drug - Aged 12 to 17 - 1979-1994 FOREWORD We welcome any thoughts you have on this important issue. James Austin, Ph.D. Executive Vice President INTRODUCTION On April 29, 1996, Bill Clinton did what all presidents must do in the approach of an election year. He announced a "new" war on drugs, designed to encourage abstinence. Among Clinton's weapons in his arsenal is education as the means to eradicate drug use among teenagers. The hope is that if initial involvement with drugs can be prevented, a drug-free America may someday be a reality.' Given the widespread use of drugs in the U.S., the goal of complete abstinence may be unrealistic. According to the most current household survey by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), approximately 79 million Americans have used illegal drugs, primarily marijuana, at least once in their lifetime (Figure 1). This number has increased steadily since the survey began in 1979 when the estimated number was 59.6 million. Less than 20 percent of these experimenters (approximately 12.5 million Americans) used illegal drugs regularly, or each month (Figure 2). The number of regular users has declined sharply since 1979 with the largest reductions occurring for the category of marijuana and hashish. In other words, whereas nearly one-third of Americans have tried illegal drugs, less than 5 percent of the population uses them regularly. And, alcohol and cigarettes remain the most dominant form of legal drug use.

Home Benefit Golf Tournament Contact Us Narconon Drug Education Presentations ... Drug Photos Why is it that more than eight thousand people in this country, mostly young people, start using illegal drugs every day? Is it peer pressure? Is it because the media pushes drugs harder than any junkie in the back of some dark alley? Or maybe it's because the people who make and sell drugs know exactly what 'buttons' to push to make a youngster want to use. Although all of these are contributing factors, they couldn't have an impact on our kids if there was effective drug education in the schools or other places where young people gather. The war on drugs will only be won by educating our children about the dangers of drugs. In addition to rehabilitating those who have fallen into the trap of drug abuse, Narconon staff work very hard to prevent young people from using drugs in the first place. The Narconon Drug Prevention and Education has provided programs to school children in Southern California for over 20 years and has reached hundreds of thousands students. We offer a comprehensive series of interactive presentations for students in grades three through twelve.
