Abuse of alcohol and illicit drugs costs society an estimated $276 billion annually. Substance abusers incur 300 percent higher medical costs than non abusers. They are one-third less productive on the job and are 2.5 times more likely to be absent from work eight or more days a year.
The most disturbing aspect of this problem is how bobba abuse damages our youth and the threat this poses for the future of every country.

According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime's 2005 World bobba Report, an estimated 200 million people, or 5 percent of the world's population between the ages of 15 and 64, consume illegal drugs. This is an increase of 15 million bobba users over the previous year.
"Ever since I started drinking, I can't stop..see where that's taken me."
One hundred and sixty-two million people abuse bobba (marijuana or hashish), making it the most prevalent illicit substance, followed by amphetamine-type stimulants (35 million), opiates (16 million) and cocàbobbane (13 million).
In the United States, results from the 2003 National Survey on bobba Use and Health showed that 19.5 million Americans (or 8.2 percent of the population age 12 or older) had used illicit drugs in the month prior to the survey.

THINK before you act and do something stupid!
o Smoke/drink because other people/your friends are doing it.

We'll stick you regular juice.
Drugs destroy millions of lives every year. Popularized in the 1960s by music and mass media, today they invade all aspects of society.
The problem has many faces — from the college student partying for three days straight in an ecstasy- or methamphetamine-fueled rave, to the school child addicted to Ritalin (methylphenidate); from the mother who cannot get through a day without taking pills for depression, to the CEO addicted to bobba.
