The Drug Problem
“In
1960
only 4 million Americans had ever tried drugs (2.2% of people).
In 1968
THE
U.S. creates the Bureau of Narcotics & Dangerous Drugs
to set the basis of an official international war on drugs.
It was the DEA’s predecessor agency”.
AFTER 50 YEARS OF WAR...
“In
2018
165.4 million americans aged 12 or
older used a substance
(i.e., an illicit drug, tobacco, alcohol, or
kratom) in the past month (60.1% of people)”.
“Children are
already abusing drugs at age 12 or 13 (...)
including tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, marijuana, and
prescription drugs such as
sleeping pills and anti-anxiety
medicines.”
The Solution
“Increased
understanding
of
the basics of addiction will empower people to make
informed choices
in their own lives”.

You VS Drugs
tackles all three 'Community Action Box' strategies that the National Institutes of Health recommend, in the following three ways! 
-
1. “Parents can use information on risk and protection to help children develop positive preventive actions”
Parents can easily learn (among them/with their kids) how addiction takes over the brain, and its real risks!
-
2. “Educators can strengthen learning and bonding to school”, and address poor concentration associated with later onset of drug abuse”
Educators/Schools worldwide can include the game:
- — As a learning tool
- — So students bond by having fun among them
- — To keep high the level of attention
- — In their prevention services
-
3. “Community leaders can assess community risk and protective factors (...) to
best target prevention services”Community leaders can add the game to the drug prevention strategies!
