Copenhagen Youth Mobilize 500 Shops in Scientology-Backed Substance Awareness Drive
Wiki Article
Children from “Truth About Drugs Denmark” have united in the Danish capital to spread factual drug education materials across 500 shops. This campaign, supported by Scientology volunteers, revitalizes long-running efforts to raise awareness about drug risks among youth.
Over the course of 2025, children and teenagers aged 10–20 engaged with hundreds of businesses to ask them to carry copies of *The Truth About Drugs* booklet. The materials — produced by the global Truth About Drugs campaign — offer clear information on the dangers of drug use, including marijuana, alcohol abuse, and synthetic substances.
“They’ve taken the lead in a way adults admire,” said Giulia, a campaign spokesperson. “They’re not just handing out flyers — they’re educating a community.”
Recent statistics support the urgency of their mission. A new report by the Danish Drug Research Center revealed that cannabis use among 15–25-year-olds has fallen from 44% to just over 31% in the last ten years. Among boys in the same age group, use dropped from 51% to 34%.
According to scientists quoted in a recent national news story, this change is partly due to the widespread availability of prevention information and a decline in peer pressure around drugs.
The Danish arm of the campaign is part of a broader, global initiative that has operated in Denmark since the early 1990s. With support from local Scientologists, *Truth About Drugs* booklets have been distributed at large-scale public and sports events. Founder of Scientology, author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, identified drugs as “the single most destructive element present in our current culture,” a statement that continues to inspire outreach efforts today.
*“Meaningful youth participation isn’t a fairy tale — it’s a blueprint for building resilient communities,”* said Ivan Arjona-Pelado, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, UN, and OSCE. *“These young people are not waiting for permission to change the world. They are already doing it.”*
Observers applaud the youth-led initiative, noting how it builds grassroots networks while empowering young voices. Each booklet distributed is a step toward a more informed public — and, many believe, a safer future.
