Children from “Truth About Drugs Denmark” have mobilized in the Danish capital to share factual drug education materials across 500 shops. The initiative, supported by Scientology volunteers, revitalizes long-running efforts to raise awareness about drug risks among youth.
Over the course of recent months, volunteers aged 10 to 20 visited local retailers to encourage them to display copies of *The Truth About Drugs* booklet. The materials — produced by the global Truth About Drugs campaign — offer fact-driven information on the dangers of drug use, including cannabis, alcohol abuse, and synthetic substances.
“They are showing adults they care,” said Giulia, a campaign spokesperson. “It’s impressive to see such commitment from children.”
Recent statistics support the urgency of their mission. A new report by the Danish Drug Research Center revealed that use of marijuana by Danish youth aged 15–25 has fallen from 44% in 2014 to 31.6% in 2025. Among boys in the same age group, use dropped from more than half to one-third.
According to analysts quoted in a recent national news story, this change is partly due to public awareness and a decline in willingness to take risks.
The Danish arm of the campaign is part of a broader, global initiative that has operated in Denmark since the early 1990s. With support from eu news france local Scientologists, *Truth About Drugs* booklets have been distributed at large-scale public and sports events. Founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, identified drugs as “the single most destructive element present in our current culture,” a statement that continues to inspire outreach efforts today.
*“Meaningful youth participation isn’t a fairy tale — it’s a blueprint for building resilient communities,”* said Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Scientology’s diplomatic envoy to European institutions. *“These young people are not waiting for permission to change the world. They are already doing it.”*
Observers have praised the youth-led initiative, noting how it builds community partnerships while empowering young voices. Each booklet distributed is a step toward a more informed public — and, many believe, a healthier future.
