Parents and Teachers Can Protect Their Children from a Worldwide Drug Epidemic

FREE! World Famous and Internationally-Acclaimed Poster Entitled "The Self-Destructive Use of Drugs" an Innovative and New Intellectual Technology That Has Captured the Attention and Imagination of So Many From Around the World, With its Stunning Visual Effects, a Highly Informative Guide Promoting Drug Awareness, Prevention and Education.

New York, NY; As one of our most challenging health and social problems, substance abuse continues to devastate our families, neighborhoods and communities. In one way or another, nearly every one of our citizens has felt the terrible toll of addiction and the suffering it causes. Spiraling violence, disease and death follow in its wake, and its persistence threatens the very stability of our society and the economic future of our country.

The U.S. is currently in the middle of its most costly anti-drug campaign in history, yet drugs are killing 50,000 Americans each year. The numbers multiply from continent to continent, making illicit drugs and related crimes - and deaths - in the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific Region, a rampant global epidemic that is spreading unabated. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime's 2007 World Drug Report, some 200 million people use drugs each year globally. That's almost 10 times the population of Australia. How many of those millions are part of the growing number of teen-agers experimenting with drugs at earlier ages, and for how long can parents watch helplessly as drugs lay waste to a generation of sons and daughters. The well-documented failure of the United States' "war on drugs" and other anti-drug efforts around the globe demonstrates the need for a re-think utilizing a different approach to tackling substance abuse. The irony is that drug use is probably the world's leading "preventable" health problem.

This is the message of hope now being circulated globally by the New York-based International Drug Awareness Research Foundation (IDARF) in the form of a new poster . The poster, titled "The Self-Destructive Use of Drugs," is a powerful, provocative communication tool that tells the entire story of substance abuse in factual, plain language, visually arresting, full-color, high-impact graphics. This breathtaking communication vehicle combines in one place for the first time, all of the critical information about the use and abuse of the 12 major legal and illegal drug groups and is being credited for helping spark the talk about drugs in a highly visual way around kitchen tables and in classrooms in many countries around the world, and opening the communication channels between parents and their children that will persuade them from using drugs

Experts worldwide agree that the most effective way to proof children from the harmful effects of using drugs is to focus on prevention through increased and enhanced awareness and early education. To quote President Obama :"It is no longer acceptable to just say no to drugs." For parents, talking about drugs can be a tough job. With "The Self-Destructive Use of Drugs" kids get a jump on drug prevention in plain language, using plain medical facts, displaying the mind-body drug connection in one powerful graphic that instantly and vividly summarizes the most commonly used drugs and their effects on the user.

By putting scientifically-based, easy-to-understand information on drug topics all in one place, we are giving viewers instant access to alcohol and drug information that they need to know, which is right away, "must-read" essential information that quickly and positively transforms attitudes towards substance abuse.

The adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words" is so true when displayed in the family playroom or a teen's bedroom, the poster acts as a constant visual reminder driving home the destructive effects of substance abuse in a straightforward, non judgmental manner.

The international illicit drug trade is a $400 billion a year business. According to a United Nations report, tobacco use globally is responsible for some 5 million deaths each year. In the U.S., nearly 8,000 people are trying drugs for the first time every day. The majority of new users are younger than 18 and more than half are female. Among U.S. teenagers and young adults alone, fatal drug overdoses have soared 113 percent.

Parents are the no. 1 influence on their children with teachers coming in 2nd. IDARF aims to unite and empower parents and teachers who are tired of watching children die as a drug epidemic spreads worldwide
