Drug-Free South is working to eradicate the demand for drugs in
Tennessee and so establish health and happiness for all citizens. This past
week, they took their message to a motorcycle show in Rutherford County.
Drug-Free South is known for spreading its message on the Truth About
Drugs to students across Tennessee by delivering lectures in schools, but this
past week members were invited to a motorcycle show where over a hundred riders
were able to receive, and benefit from, the information.
“We will go to anyone, anywhere in the state with our message,” says
Marc Vallieres who volunteers for Drug-Free South, “everyone deserves to
receive the truth about drugs, and it’s never too late to reach out to someone
– they can always benefit from knowing.”
Drug-Free South volunteers distributed dozens of booklets to those
attending.
Vallieres went on to say, “It is important to realize that each person
who receives the truth could be another life saved. That is why we do what we
do.”
Drug-Free South is a chapter of the Foundation for a Drug-Free World,
based in Los Angeles, California, which provides educational tools to help
students learn the truth about drugs. The Foundation provides a booklet which
covers common street names of drugs, short and long term effects as well as
myths that a dealer might say to make the sale. It also provides an in-depth
documentary of former users telling their story and an entire educational
curriculum to help students understand what drugs really are.
