Drug-Free World of Georgia - Capitol Day 2020
Drug-Free World of Georgia - Capitol Day 2020 took place despite a "Day Off" for the legislators.
The VIPs that were at the Capitol Wednesday, March 11th saw The Truth About Drugs.
People that could handle The Truth, received tote bags with materials that give The Truth About Marijuana, Cocaine, Alcohol and many other drugs that are abused worldwide. With The Truth About Drugs is printed in 20 languages and distributed in almost 200 nations it’s no wonder it is the number 1 drug awareness platform in the world.
The World Drug Report stated in 2018 that 585,000 deaths worldwide were drug-related and preventable. That’s over 1600 people dying daily. Many former drug abusers point out that “No one plans to become a drug addict” but with staggering death tolls like this, it is obviously too easy to be another statistic.

With recreational drugs becoming legal in many states and tolerance levels increasing, the street market keeps up with illegal demand by producing a stronger and most of the time cheaper, high. Shatter, a product of condensing THC into a melted plastic-looking form using butane fuel is very dangerous to make and perhaps more dangerous to use for any time you condense a drug you increase the likelihood of harm and addiction.
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines poison as a substance that through its chemical action usually kills, injures, or impairs an organism. With that being said aspirin, a condensed form of willow bark, when taken properly can relieve pain but if too much is taken too quickly it can kill. This Truth is what many don’t realize – any drug is a poison and can kill, injure or impair.

In addition, the vast majority of people think street drugs were created on the streets, when The Truth is, almost all the currently illicit drugs were invented in a lab of Big Pharma. Heroin, Cocaine, Meth and LSD are just a few that make the list.
Legislators at the Capitol and society need to wake-up to what Big Pharma has been doing for over a century as Bayer Pharmaceutical produced Heroin in a lab and knowingly marketed the product as a non-addictive cure to Morphine addiction. This very profitable business model still exists with oxycodone being one of the latest drugs to line pockets with billions of dollars using fancy marketing that touted low chances of addiction, only to produce an epidemic of opioid addicts and the cause of so many deaths. This is not the American way and not capitalism, it is straight-up criminal acts against humanity and that’s The Truth.
