"what we
are"
we are young
people who speak up for accepting, honest and realistic information on
drugs and their use
"what
we are not"
-we are
neither pro nor anti drugs
-we are not moralistic
-we are neither a governmental nor a religious institution
...in
1996 a group of young people came together in order to deal with the various
problems arising out of the use of illegal drugs. Since young people often
take drugs in a very problematic and risky way it seems useful and necessary
for us to come up with new ideas on how to inform on drug use. This includes
taking a closer look at both the positive and the negative aspects of
drug use. Assuming that young people mostly take drugs temporarily, information
on short-term and long-term side-effects of drugs and their use can effectively
help to prevent drug-related accidents. It can also reduce the chance
that people impair their health. Specific information on more dangerous
and less risky forms of application and on the probability of addiction
to legal and illegal substances can enable consumers to handle drugs more
consciously and with less risks. Furthermore it can help them to decide
not to take particular or any drugs because they think it too risky for
them personally. An accepting approach towards both these attitudes is
a fundamental principle of our work. Our long-term goal is to reduce the
problems associated with drug use. We hope to achieve this aim through
information and through promoting more conscious, less risky and more
cultivated ways of dealing with drugs.
