Foundation for a Drug Free World Launches Game for Super Bowl LVI

Drug abuse is not just a threat, it is a fact—another type of pandemic that affects the entire country and the world. And according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, in Los Angeles, which is hosting Super Bowl LVI, the most commonly abused drugs are marijuana, heroin, meth and alcohol.

Foundation for a Drug-Free World volunteers from across the city have just launched an all-out campaign to send their drug-free message to local residents and 150,000 visitors expected to arrive from out of town for the game. For the next two weeks, the volunteers plan to make their message heard loud and clear, with people reading their Truth About Drugs booklets and taking the free online drug education courses at the DrugFreeWorld.Org website.

Drug-Free World brings its drug education and prevention campaign to the Super Bowl each year to reach people with the unvarnished truth about the most commonly abused drugs.

Volunteers packed pick-up trucks with boxes of drug education booklets to distribute them to stores, restaurants, hotels and community groups. They will also be handing booklets out to friends and neighbors and to everyone visiting the many events surrounding Super Bowl LVI.

Drug-Free World coordinator for Los Angeles, Betsy Davis said: “Addiction in Los Angeles affects so many people, not just addicts but their families and friends. Drugs have somehow become ‘acceptable.’ But they ruin lives. We want to reach as many people as possible with our fact-based drug education.”

Foundation for a Drug-Free World is a nonprofit, international drug education program supported by the Church of Scientology and Scientologists. Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard noted the role substance abuse plays in the disintegration of the social fabric. He wrote, “Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs.”

Foundation for a Drug-Free World was formed in 2006 to serve as the primary distributor of educational materials and to develop new materials to meet the challenge of continually changing drug trends.
