22 Oct 2008 — Scientology Churches Support Drug Prevention Wendy Beccaccini — While ignorance may be bliss short-term, when it comes to drugs, ignorance is a downright dangerous condition that can kill, which is why churches of Scientology have worked to provide drug education and prevention programs since the early '70s.  Wendy Beccaccini is the Community Drug Education Programs Coordinator for the Church of Scientology International.Last July, a 20-year mortality study, conducted by University of California San Diego Sociologist David Phillips, found that deaths from the misuse of prescription and over-the-counter medications increased by 3,200 percent during that time period. Additionally, the director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse recently stated that the long-term widespread medical use of such drugs has added a "comfort level" that increases risk of abuse and addiction. The United Nations Office on Drug Abuse and Crime reports that over 26 million people currently suffer from severe drug dependence. All this is good cause to become educated about drugs.
