Scientologists of Amsterdam Provide Drug Facts
Church of Scientology distributes Truth About Drugs booklets to combat substance abuse among youth in this European capital
AMSTERDAM – Volunteers from the Church of Scientology Amsterdam took to the streets last week with factual information on the dangers of drugs. They distributed Truth About Drugs booklets in Overtoomseveld, a suburb west of Amsterdam.
Their concern: In Amsterdam and surrounding areas, drug use is higher than the national average, and youth in the city need to be informed so they can make self-determined decisions to live drug-free lives.
“The younger youth are when they begin to use drugs, the more likely they are to become addicted,” says Merel Remmerswaal, spokesperson for the volunteers.
In addition to distributing booklets throughout the city, Scientologists participate in annual Anti-Drug Marathons each summer, running throughout the Netherlands to promote drug-free living.

The Church of Scientology sponsors the world’s largest nongovernmental drug education and prevention campaign. It has been conclusively proven that when young people are provided with the truth about drugs—factual information on what drugs are and what they do—usage rates drop commensurately.
