South African Parents Against Drug Abuse (Sapada)

South African Parents Against Drug Abuse (Sapada) Drugs and alcohol are everywhere and our children WILL be exposed at some point. Sapada aims to Educ

We are parents of children and teenagers, growing up in this insane world where we know only one thing is for sure-our children WILL be faced with the choice of trying one or more types of drug or alcohol. The choice will be theirs alone to make and is dependant on the knowledge they will be given. Sapada aims to provide accurate and up to date information so that they will know what they are gett

ing into and will know the consequences of their choices. We may not be able to save them all, but if we can change just one mind and save one life, then we have done some good!

16 years ago today, Matthew Shepard was brutally beaten. He was tied to a fence and left to die. He passed away 5 days later as the victim of a hate crime. His wonderful Mother Judy (who I have had the honor of meeting and working with) rose above her grief to use her sons death as a teaching tool and as a way to change the world. Thanks to her courage and strength, President Obama signed "The Matthew Shepard Act" into law. Matthew would have been 37 today if his life wasn't taken by demented bullies and murderers. Stand up against bullying any time you see it...you could be saving a life.

Narconon Provides Parents with New Tools to Protect Youth from Ma*****na Abuse

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Bobby WigginsThese days, protecting your children from using ma*****na is harder than ever. After all, twenty states plus the District of Columbia have now made the use of ma*****na in a medical setting legal. As seen in headlines recently, two more states – Colorado and Washington – have legalized the recreational use of the drug. How can a parent make it clear to children that their use of the drug can be harmful?“It comes down to education,” said Bobby Wiggins, drug education specialist for Narconon International. “Parents may need to learn more about the drugs their children may encounter so they know how to explain the dangers. Today’s ma*****na is not the same as the w**d of twenty or thirty years ago and today’s youth will be offered more types of drugs than any generation before them. Narconon helps parents keep up with the changes by providing easy-to-read information on every drug their child is likely to be offered.”Wiggins referred to a new feature on the Narconon International website, What You Can Do about Ma*****na Abuse.

Also included are step-by-step recommendations on how to approach this subject with one’s children.“There is so much conflicting information in the media these days that youth are sure to be confused about the value of staying sober,” said Wiggins. “Our free gift to parents everywhere it this complete package of information on ma*****na and the guidance on how to use to protect one’s children.”Points covered by What You Can Do about Ma*****na Abuse include:• Is ma*****na addictive?• If it is, how many people are addicted to w**d?• How can you tell if a child is using ma*****na?• What problems are associated with ma*****na use?• What is the best way to talk to a young person about the effects of consuming ma*****na?• Is today’s w**d really stronger than the ma*****na of a decade or two ago?• Are there physical problems associated with ma*****na abuse?What You Can Do About Ma*****na Abuse is available online or as a downloadable PDF on the Narconon International website.

About Bobby Wiggins

From being a drug addict in the Northeast, Bobby Wiggins not only recovered his sobriety, he also built himself a new life dedicated to helping others recover. Bobby found his new sobriety in 1977 at the Narconon drug rehab center located in New England . Knowing he needed to give back to the program that saved his life, he stayed on as a staff member. A few years down the road, Bobby began using his experience to explain the dangers of drug abuse to schoolchildren in the area. A few more years and this would be Bobby's full time occupation - a job that would last for the next few decades. Between 1984 and 2001, Bobby gave presentations at schools from one end of New England to the other. He went on to take on the job of Director of Drug Education International at the world headquarters of Narconon, located in Los Angeles. Along the way, he has personally lectured to more than 900,000 school children at ages ranging from 7 to 18, plus delivered more than 200 workshops at universities around the world. He has given seminars and trained Human Resources staff from more than 500 corporations. Requests for his seminars have taken him across the US and around the world, including locations as diverse as Mexico, Canada, England, Scotland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India, Sweden and Venezuela. In the Philippines, he trained the national Drug Enforcement Agency how to do effective drug education in schools. In a cooperative project with the Friends of Narconon in Los Angeles, Bobby created a video series for schools' drug education programs, so he could reach many more children with accurate information. These presentations have been seen by another eleven million children. From his radio and television appearances, he has reached another 600 million with the truth about drugs.

New Study Reveals the Way Ma*****na Changes the Brains of Young Casual Users

NEW HORIFFIC DRUG
KROKIDIL
In Russia, this drug has condemned more than a million persons to addiction and many to death. It’s homemade from over-the-counter codeine pills plus caustic solvents like gasoline, alcohol or paint thinner. Once a person starts using it, it is often instantly addictive. It’s ‘krokodil,’ an op**te with a strong kick like he**in, but far less expensive. When Russia’s millions of op**te addicts could not afford the he**in they needed to keep dope sickness away, somewhere between one and three million people turned to krokodil.

The drug originated in Siberia in 2002, traveled throughout Russia and made its way to Germany by 2011. Now damage suspected to come specifically from this drug has been seen in two cases in Arizona.

The drug is so toxic and caustic that it causes gangrene, blood poisoning, abscesses, organ inflammation and nerve and bone destruction. The meat on the bones near injection sites simply begins to rot and fall off the body. Sorry for the gross imagery, but sadly true.

“I’ve never seen a more dangerous or destructive drug,” said Clark Carr. “Of course a person who is using any addictive substances needs rehab to get clean and healthy again, but no matter what happens, no matter how hard it is to obtain he**in or op**tes, no drug abuser should touch this substance.”

Once a person becomes addicted to krokodil, he (or she) is said to have a life expectancy of only about two years. Kicking the drug is much harder than kicking he**in, with a longer, sicker withdrawal
