Deadly Combination of Factors Drives Up Adolescent Use of Marijuana, Ecstasy and Alcohol

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

Narconon® Drug Prevention Specialists say teens desperately need information to help them abstain from drug use

There has been a radical change in how drugs are perceived by American adolescents, which has caught some educators and parents off guard. The study was conducted by the Partnership at Drugfree.org (formerly the Partnership for a Drug Free America). The prestigious organization has released the 22nd in a series of annual surveys involving 2,500 high school students in the United States.

Veteran drug prevention specialist Bobby Wiggins at Narconon International says the results of the survey are not surprising. “If drug prevention is not pushed aggressively and consistently, if teens and preteens are not advised of the factual dangers of using drugs, the likelihood that young people will fall prey to drugs before they reach adulthood is substantially increased as we have seen by this report.”

Overall teenage use of drugs and alcohol declined from 1998 to 2008. However, even during that time, the use of ecstasy and marijuana rose. At the same time, the percentage of teens claiming they drink to combat stress also rose.

Wiggins says that kids today are more inclined to encourage their peers to do drugs because they believe they are not harmful. At the top of their “not harmful list of drugs” are no surprise, alcohol, ecstasy and cannabis.

One in four teens smoked marijuana between 2008 and 2010 - an increase of seven per cent. The use of ecstasy in the past year rose from six to 10 per cent. Almost 50 per cent of high school students did not view heavy drinking as a “great risk.” Six in ten said they had their first full alcoholic drink by age 15. One in five claim they drink because of school stress.

Slightly better news – there’s been little evidence of relaxing attitudes regarding methamphetamines, cocaine or heroin amongst those surveyed.“ Overall, teens are wary of drugs they believe are addicting; but it is wishful thinking that this will protect them once they engage in drug use,” says Wiggins. “
The survey also found that parents feel unprepared to respond to underage drinking by their children and almost a third felt there is very little parents can do to prevent their kids from trying alcohol.

“We know that when we give teens straight information about drugs and alcohol they are far more inclined to make the decision to stay drug and alcohol free. But if they lack vital information about drugs and their effects, they are extremely vulnerable to invitations to use drugs,” says Wiggins.
Narconon’s experts urge parents and educators to renew commitment to drug prevention education. Narconon drug education presentations have resulted in drastic change in the attitudes of teens and preteens toward drug taking. For those who have already gotten caught in the trap, Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Centers can help young people get back on track. “It is a terrible thing to stand by while your child’s life unravels because of drugs,” says Wiggins,”It doesn’t have to happen.”

Taking Charge of One’s Life Is the Fastest Route to Drug-Free Living

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

A continued debate in the field of addiction treatment is how to view substance dependent people. In 2007 the debate escalated to the Congressional floor when then Senator, Joseph Biden, proposed legislation to change the name of the National Institute on Drug Abuse to the National Institute on Diseases of Addiction and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to the National Institute on Alcohol disorders and Health.

The legislation did not pass, but it sent a strong message to the substance abuse field that treatment centers should adopt a disease model. However, the success rates of centers that have done so do not necessarily demonstrate betterment in the ability of treatment centers to help addicts. Also, the risks that arise when prescribed drugs used for treatment end up on the street are a serious problem. “Street methadone,” methadone obtained outside of treatment, is recognized as posing far more risk of overdose than the opium-based drugs it was developed to treat.

Seventy five years ago, addiction was rarely if ever viewed as a disease. For example, the British Journal of Inebriety (Alcoholism and Drug Addiction) July 1933 published an article by one E. W. Adams, O.B.E., M.D. regarding addiction. Dr. Adams stated that alcoholics and drug addicts “seek means to make reality less real.” He elaborated: “The average drug addict does not accept the universe. He is on the run from reality. He is a person who, could he have been asked beforehand whether he was willing to be a candidate for life with all its responsibilities and duties, would have replied in the phrase of Calvin Coolidge: “I do not choose to run.”

Despite any ongoing debate, the Narconon® program has consistently stuck with a methodology that has proven highly successful. It helps addicts to sort out their lives so that they can live successfully without drugs and be happy. On the other hand, programs that define addiction as disease often have a poor success rate and relegate the multiple relapses to addiction as an expected part of the treatment process as episodes that indicate a need for an adjustment in the treatment program.

“In the field of drug treatment, we do not find that informing an addict that his condition is disease related benefits him anymore than dissuading him that his condition is not a disease is necessary,” Bobby Wiggins, Drug Education and Prevention Specialist, Narconon International. “The simplicity is that an addict needs to gain control of his own life, or the need for drugs will persist. The hard part remains starting the addict on this path, because the last aspect of reality that an addicted person can grasp is that life is livable without his drug of choice,” Wiggins says. Fortunately for the addict, addiction can be successfully resolved.

The Culture of Ecstasy

Friday, April 1st, 2011

Drug Prevention Experts at Narconon International Reveal New Insights into the Rave Culture and the Drug that Drives it.

As discussion goes forward on whether or not raves should be prevented from using public venues in California (AB 74, the “Anti Raves Act of 2011),” Narconon® Drug prevention expert, Bobby Wiggins, offers insight into the relationship between the techno music of raves and the drug ecstasy which has been associated with it.

By consulting social media, blogs online videos, pictures and comments posted by ravers, those who attend the techno music events, you can find out all you need to know about the role that the drug ecstasy (or E or X) plays in their world. “These viral data sources cover the here and now; and consequently are a true barometer of the rave scene as it happens,” Wiggins says.

What do they tell us? First, they affirm that ravers know “ecstasy” is illegal. They know that it is an illegal drug action can be taken against anyone who sells, possesses, makes or uses it in violation of the law.

They also show that without the breakout of fights, police are reluctant to intervene. As an example, British police who were sent to close down a rave held in London in an abandoned postal building involving thousands of ravers and as many as 200 DJs in the heart of the city claimed they “held back because they did not want to cause trouble.” One officer said: “We’re hoping people will get tired and go home. . . . It was ‘more trouble than it’s worth’ to cause a confrontation between police and party goers.” It explains why California law enforcement officers are reluctant to arrest lawbreakers at raves.

Likewise we find that ravers feel justified in protesting law enforcement intervention, because “no one is hurting anyone.” But attempts to legalize the drug are not in the offing due to freak overdoses and deaths which increase in direct ratio with the drug’s popularity – deaths that are perhaps even more likely to occur to a first-time user as someone who has “rolled” (gotten high on ecstasy) a hundred times.

Discussion boards show that ravers see themselves as loyal subjects of their culture. Their loyalty is to “the massive tribal family that celebrates with me.” The music is the relevant topic, but what transpires at raves is, in a word, childish. This is odd, since promoters seeking to stay in business have resorted to requiring attendees are 18+ years, hoping to absolve them from responsibility for deaths that can occur.

Then, of course, there is considerable evidence backing up that ecstasy, itself addictive, can and often does lead to use of stronger and even more self-destructive stimulants such as the Amphetamines. But hindsight is too late to help the entrapped addict then.

In response to our analysis, Wiggins says, “No child is born with a personality that makes them need drugs. But unless they feel prepared to make their way in the world, their chances of being happy without drugs are greatly diminished. Narconon has helped tens of thousands of people of all ages to develop missing life skills necessary to drug-free living. Once they are thus self-empowered, the drug dependent can choose to be drug-free and successfully, happily live.”

Arrest of Tucson Drug Trafficker Illustrates the Porosity of U.S. Mexico Border, Warns Narconon Spokesperson

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

In a scenario that plays out all too often, eight associates of Mexican drug cartels were arrested in Tucson, Arizona for trafficking thousands of pounds of Drug Use marijuana and smaller quantities of cocaine into the U.S.

It started in 2005 when Trancoza family members transported $181,000 in U.S. dollars from Mexico to Tucson, concealing the cash in suitcases. This money was used to lease warehouse properties and residences and start moving marijuana and cocaine from Arizona to Ohio. Business that fronted for the drug operation included "Sea of Cortez Seafood & Produce Distribution," "Wedoito’s Hotdogs" and "AB Trucking." Proceeds from the drug transactions were deposited into accounts controlled by the drug cartels.

Narconon director for international drug education, Bobby Wiggins, warned that this one incident is just the smallest tip of the iceberg. "The pressure to move these illicit products into America and distribute them throughout our cities, towns, suburbs and rural areas is tremendous. It’s no coincidence that Tucson is less than seventy miles from Nogales, one of the primary border-crossing regions being utilized by the cartels. That pressure shows up in drug rings like these, under-border tunnels and most tragically, the substance abuse problems of our young people." Narconon is an international organization dedicated to the elimination of substance abuse and addiction through effective drug rehabilitation and drug education classes.

Bearing out what Wiggins said, yet another cross-border drug trafficking tunnel was found in early January 2011 in Nogales. Unlike many others, this one was incomplete. In some cases, tunnels have been found with bales of drugs ready to be moved across the border and into U.S. neighborhoods. From Tucson, drugs can rapidly move east or west on Interstate 10.

Since the early 1990s, more than 125 tunnels have been found. Over the years, they have grown in size and sophistication.

"Clearly, drug interdiction (stopping the flow of illicit drugs) will never be enough, nor should it be the primary target of our national campaign against drug abuse. Drug demand reduction should be drug education in addition to drug rehabilitation drug If U.S. parents realized the intensity of drug cartel efforts to distribute their products in our backyards, they wouldn’t waste a single second in educating their children to resist the temptation to try marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine or other drugs," added Wiggins. "One of the key ways to put these cartels out of business is to educate our kids never to start using their products. This way, we can raise a drug-free generation - one with no demand for drugs. This would then drive the suppliers right out of business."

The Narconon drug education curriculum has been proven not to just change students’ attitudes about drug use but also to lower substance abuse statistics in documented trials in Hawaii and Oklahoma. Flanking these efforts are Narconon drug rehabilitation centers located around the world that return drug-free citizens to their homes and workplaces.

Despite Ups and Downs, International Drug Traffickers Ensure Cocaine Markets Expand, Cautions Narconon Spokesperson

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

International organizations analyzing cocaine use in the United States have been saying that domestic cocaine use is down. At the same time, there are reports that cocaine production in many South American regions has been declining in response to eradication efforts. So are the cocaine manufacturers suffering?

International statistics show that the area devoted to the coca crop fell from 211,700 hectares to 159,000. Along with that, seizures in South America increased from an estimated 28 percent of the supply in 2002 to 42 percent of the supply by 2008 - a major improvement and a testimony to the drug interdiction efforts of international law enforcement agencies.

On the other end of the supply line, American consumption gradually dropped from 10.5 million users in 1982 to about half that in 2008.

So how do cocaine manufacturers respond? They just find a new market and exploit it. In this case, Australia, where a very desirable exchange rate and a largely untapped market make Australia a golden opportunity.

Narconon director of drug education, Bobby Wiggins stated, "Australians don’t deserve a heavy influx of cocaine any more than any other population. The time to fight back is before these channels of trafficking get entrenched." Narconon is an international organization dedicated to eliminating addiction through effective rehabilitation and drug education.

Any efforts to crack down on this market face some formidable opposition. When cocaine crosses into Australia, the price is marked up 1000 percent. That’s a powerful motivation for unscrupulous drug dealers.

Australian media corroborate the influx of higher supplies of cocaine by reporting on the increase in seizures. In one decade, seizures increased from 50 to more than 600.

Since cocaine is a stimulant and is normally accompanied by a risky lifestyle, one hazardous effect being experienced by Australians is an increase in heart attacks. One Sydney hospital reported six cocaine-related heart attacks in December 2010 when they normally would have seen one per year.

Addiction to cocaine can destroy a user’s life through illness, death, incarceration or the kind of damage that naturally accompanies addiction - loss of job, family, self-esteem, businesses and friendship. Anyone who has a friend or family member who is using cocaine should help them overcome their addiction at the first possible moment. It takes effective drug rehabilitation to help a person leave addiction behind and forge a new, drug-free life.

Narconon drug recovery centers around the world help people reclaim their lives through eight phases of recovery, which includes a sauna detoxification program that helps flush out drug residues that may be involved with triggering cravings for more drugs. The Narconon drug rehabilitation program then provides each recovering addict with the life skills training that restores self-esteem and the ability to make drug-free decisions.

Narconon Director Reports on Costs of Drug Abuse and Addiction

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

It’s not just in jail and drug rehabs, reports Bobby Wiggins, director of Narconon ® International Drug Education Office. "The effects of substance abuse and Drug Abuse and Addiction addiction show up in places you might not expect them," said Wiggins. "In hospitals to schools, in businesses across the country, addiction reveals its destructive effects." Narconon is an international organization dedicated to eliminating addiction through drug-free drug rehabilitation services and drug education.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that more than half the tax of substance abuse is carried by the non-abusing population through their support of government control efforts, education, insurance, judicial, healthcare and social systems. Each year, the total price tag approaches the staggering figure of $534 billion in the U.S. alone.

Employers shoulder much of the financial burden of substance abuse and addiction. Most addicts are gainfully employed for years of their addiction, at least until their ability to function is openly hampered by drugs or alcohol. Never the less those employees ordinarily generate more Workers’ Compensation claims and are involved in more workplace accidents that endanger co-workers. And addiction routinely reduces productivity among the addicted, meaning that co-workers also have to make up for their shortages.

U.S. healthcare costs related to alcohol abuse reach nearly $19 billion and drug-related expenses add another $10 billion more from treating cirrhosis, HIV infection, trauma and other substance abuse issues. Less than a third of this amount is dedicated to treatment.

On average, substances abusers tend to die younger than non-abusers, meaning that more families will lack financial support or other services such as child care. This shortfall places further strain on social services.

Nearly $25 billion in costs result from U.S. alcohol-related vehicle crashes. More than $13 billion of these costs are covered by auto or property insurance, increasing the rates for non-abusers.

"The tragedy is that all these damages and costs are avoidable," stated Wiggins. "By educating young people about the dangers of drug abuse, they can and will learn how to make better, drug-free choices. And by providing effective substance abuse recovery services at our centers around the world, we save lives and save families from suffering these emotional and financial costs."

At Narconon centers in more than 100 locations, graduates learn how to live drug-free lives by participating in the long-term, holistic drug recovery program. After completion of this program, seven out of ten Narconon graduates stay clean and sober after they get home.

Eliminating Alcohol Abuse Can Alleviate a Long List of Social Ills, Reports Narconon Spokesperson

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

In 2005, the World Health Organization published a comprehensive summary of the world’s social burdens that result from alcohol abuse. The list was long and Alcohol Addiction the conditions suffered in greater proportion by alcohol consumers were serious and often life-threatening.

Overall, the WHO reported that 4 percent of disease and 3.2 percent of all deaths around the world were attributed to alcohol. In developed countries, alcohol was the third most common risk to health.

There is every reason to eliminate alcohol dependence or abuse and no reason to allow it to go on. Narconon is an international organization dedicated to the elimination of addiction to both alcohol and drugs. Narconon offers drug rehabilitation and drug education at its more than 100 centers around the world.

The list of the conditions stated by the WHO as being caused by or worsened by alcohol abuse, dependence or addiction:
Cancers of the mouth (lip, tongue), pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, colon, ovaries and liver
Cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure
Hypertension (especially related to heavy drinking)
Haemorrhagic stroke even at low levels of drinking
Liver cirrhosis
Prenatal exposure results in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders including physical deformities and mental retardation
Spontaneous abortion, low birth weight and prematurity
Injury due to falls, fires or traffic accidents
Self-inflicted injuries
Injury from alcohol-related violence or sexual assault
Risky sexual behavior resulting in sexually transmitted disease or unwanted pregnancy
Additionally, some studies show a causal relationship to female breast cancer.

Around the world, people in nearly every country are experiencing harm from the abuse of alcohol. Simply eliminating the compulsion to drink would save more than a million lives every year and even more serious health conditions that don’t result in death.

But what is needed to alleviate these ills is an effective alcohol rehabilitation program, one that results in long-term sobriety after completion. Unfortunately, the stated success rate for many drug or alcohol rehabs is only 10 to 20 percent.

The Narconon drug rehabilitation program administered in recovery centers around the world enables seven out of ten graduates to stay clean and sober after they go home. With that much success, many of these injuries, illnesses and causes of death don’t have to be the fate of those who were formerly addicted to beer, wine, whiskey, vodka and other types of hard liquor.

Death of Newborn Illustrates That Addiction Kills More than Just Addicts, Explains Narconon Director

Monday, December 13th, 2010

Little Maggie May never saw her first Thanksgiving or her first Christmas. She died after being added to a washing machine with a load of clothes - by Lindsey Fiddler, her drug-addled mother.

On November 4, 2010, Maggie’s great-aunt noticed that Lindsey passed out on the couch without having the baby anywhere around her. She went looking for the ten-day-old baby. Understandably, the washing machine was not the first place she looked. By the time she located the baby in the washer, the infant was dead. The mother is now in jail, awaiting trial.

According to the great-aunt, Lindsey had been up for days, probably using meth. When police questioned the mother, she said she didn’t know how the baby got into the washer and that she didn’t use meth any more. But a toxicology scan showed that she tested positive for methamphetamine, amphetamine, benzodiazepine and opiates.

Those who don’t abuse drugs and have never been addicted may not be able to grasp how this could happen. Narconon is an international organization dedicated to eliminating addiction through effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation and drug prevention services. But someone who is on four different drugs like these is going to be hugely out of touch with reality. Who knows what her perceptions were like? All we know is that they were terrible enough to result in the death of a beautiful child.

Unfortunately, Maggie’s story is far from the only one of its kind. Hundreds of thousands of children suffer neglect, injury or death at the hands of substance abusing parents. One survey stated that substance abuse was involved in 75 percent of all foster home placements.

The answer is drug rehabilitation that works, that enables a parent to live a drug-free, productive life. Of parents who come to Narconon centers around the world to recover from addiction, seven out of ten stay clean and sober after they get home. This means hundreds of children who have the opportunity to live safely in their own homes again.

Just What We Don’t Need: Another New Drug Slipped through a “Legal” Loophole, Reports Narconon Spokesperson

Friday, December 10th, 2010

It’s not like we don’t have enough trouble with the illicit drugs currently on the market: heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, ecstasy Drug Deal and others are bad enough. A new substance has hit the market in the last year, promoted as "legal," and "providing the same high as marijuana."

A year ago, most law enforcement offices had never heard of "Spice," as this marijuana substitute was called. But as time went on, more hospitals were seeing cases of seizures and hallucinations resulting from use of the substance. And more people were turning up dependent on the drug. Still, none of the ingredients were illegal so law enforcement had no action they could take.

On November 24, 2010, the DEA announced that it was using its emergency powers to ban the five chemicals that were key to its manufacture. For one year, anyone possessing these chemicals without specific authorization will be subject to arrest. This will give U.S. government agencies time to determine Spice’s addictiveness and hazards.

“People who develop these synthetic drugs care nothing about the individuals they may harm by doing so," stated Bobby Wiggins, spokesperson for Narconon®, an international organization fighting substance abuse and addiction through drug and alcohol rehabilitation. "There’s no tests to determine potential harm to someone who uses the drug. If they can promise a high similar to something a drug user already knows about and they can also claim it’s legal, these manufacturers can really make a killing."

It’s not hard to understand the forces that drove some industrious individuals to develop this alternative to marijuana. Since 1996, the number of Americans using illicit drugs increased from 13 million to nearly 22 million in 2009. The largest drug of abuse is marijuana, with more than 16 million people using the drug every month. Any manufacturer who can put a cheap chemical substitute on the market has millions of potential users.

Spice, also known as "K2," "Blaze" and "Red X Dawn" has been sold online, in head shops and a variety of retail outlets. Sometimes the packaging identifies the contents as incense.

Unfortunately, one of the effects of this action by the DEA will be to drive this trade underground. When a family finds that one of their members, young or old, is using Spice and can’t quit on their own, they need to act immediately. By helping the drug abuser or addict find a drug recovery service right away, they could save their loved one from arrest, damage to their health or even death from a seizure or accident. At the very least, they will help their loved ones lead drug-free, productive lives again, if the rehabilitation service has been proven effective.

At Narconon centers across the U.S. and around the world, addicts find lasting recovery in seven out of ten cases. Get more information about the Narconon drug rehabilitation program by visiting www.narconon.org

College Students Need to be Educated on Problems Related to Alcohol Abuse, Warns Narconon Director

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

When America’s young people go off to college, this is supposed to be the start of their adult lives and their careers. These young people should be getting educations that enable them to be the doctors, teachers, architects, software designers and engineers of our future.

What lies ahead for many of them is more than only classes, textbooks and exams. For many of them, years of alcohol street and prescription drug abuse will waste their talents and energies and impair their ability to get an education. Thousands of them will suffer injury, abuse or assaults related to alcohol or drug abuse. And too many will die.

A comprehensive report from The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse states that half of America’s college students binge drink and abuse prescription and illegal drugs. Just what is binge drinking? It’s the consumption of five drinks in one sitting for a man and four drinks in one sitting for a female. Essentially, it’s drinking to get drunk or at least buzzed. Unfortunately, the culture on most of our college and university campuses not only condones this behavior, it encourages and enables it.

These students are at high risk for developing dependence on or addiction to the substances they are abusing. It’s common for college students to feel like they can handle heavy or frequent drinking in school. But in nearly every case, these young adults are poorly equipped to make judgments about how much is too much or to know when they have crossed the line to dependence. Few of them have any education on the hazards that can show up in a drunken party, for example.

The hazards can be disastrous. Every year, one hundred thousand women are victims of sexual assault or rape, related to alcohol abuse. Nearly three-quarters of a million students are injured in alcohol-related accidents. And 2,000 students die from alcohol poisoning or alcohol-related accidents or violence.

The media runs stories of deaths and injury from alcohol poisoning all too frequently. Like the story of Benjamin Harris at the University of Idaho who consumed as many as 15 shots on the night he turned 21. In July 2010, he was found unconscious at his fraternity and died before he could be gotten to a hospital.

And in August 2010 in Dallas, Texas, two girls who had participated in pledging activities at sororities were found passed out in their dorms. Both had to be treated for alcohol poisoning.

Heavy alcohol consumption has no more place in a college education than it has in any productive life. It’s up to parents to educate their children on substance abuse, particularly alcohol and prescription drugs. Open and honest communication about the problems that can result are essential in helping a young adult develop judgment.

It’s not something that colleges want to advertise that some of their students detour through a drug rehab before they can graduate. Many of them have made their ways to a Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. When they graduate from this program, seven out of ten go on to live clean and sober lives.

Centers offering the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and the Narconon drug education curriculum exist in forty countries around the world. Since 1966, Narconon has been helping restore addicts to productive, enjoyable lives.
