Let’s meet again with the Switzerland Say No To Drugs, Say Yes to Life Team, the one located in the Canton of Vaud (one of the 26 Cantons), including Lausanne, on the Leman Lake and the 3rd by its size !
The two main lecturers had the opportunity to deliver 9 conferences to some 71 students aged 14 to 19 years old. This was science-based information exposing the harmful effects of Cannabis, always the most used drug among the youth. The stress was put on the physical and psychological effects such as memory impairment, anxiety, panic attacks, hallucinations, coordination disorders, etc. And at the long term effect, poor academic performance and increased risk of dropping out, impaired thinking and aptitude, etc.
The educative materials includes 14 booklets from the series The Truth About Drugs and videos Testimonies of people, female and male, who had experimented the harming drug effects as memory impairment, anxiety, panic attacks, hallucinations, coordination disorders, etc. And on the long-term, poor academic performance and increased risk of dropping out, impaired thinking and aptitude, etc.
An important point is to deliver the facts without judgement
The association’s conference manager is always looking forward to spending time with young people and exchanging ideas on the subject. “The more we inform, the more we will prevent them from falling into the trap! As a mother of 2 young teenagers, I feel more concerned than ever!”
The association “Say No to Drugs, Yes to Life” has been active in the field of drug prevention since 1991. Since 2007, it has been distributing, among other things, brochures published by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World.
