Volunteers with the Foundation for a Drug Free World recently distributed 500,000 booklets in Scotland (Scientologists use anti-drugs campaign to target families, News, August 31).

The booklets simply give the facts about various drugs and their effects, including of course the biggest killer, alcohol.

The booklets were sponsored by the Church of Scientology, as one of its community activities, and contain no religious mentions. More than 62 million have been distributed worldwide. This activity has been our small effort to help the many other groups in Scotland tackling this epidemic day in, day out. We will soon be publishing a booklet on New Psychoactive Substances.

The purpose of any drug education is, of course, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The full campaign can be found at www.drugfreeworld.org.
