DRUG PREVENTION NETWORK AFFILIATES

The Drug Prevention Network of Canada (DPNC) has affiliated with
EURAD [Europe Against Drugs] in addition to the previous affiliations
with the National Drug Prevention Alliance of the UK and the Drug
Prevention Network of America including South America and Central
America [RIPRED].

"The DPNC is growing by leaps and bounds because many Canadians are
in need of a positive voice for drug treatment, prevention and
enforcement rather than enabling drug addiction and legalization"
says Randy White, President of the Drug Prevention Network of Canada.

"These organizations and many others are meeting in London, England
on Aug. 5 through Aug. 10 to discuss world policy in preparation for
the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs in 2008
and we know that world wide the concentration will be on treatment,
prevention and enforcement" Said Vancouver-based Dr. Colin Mangham,
DPNC's National Direction of Research.

"We want the new government of Canada to know that there is a very
large part of our Canadian society and people world wide that want a
practical approach to drug addiction, not unproven, agenda-based
programs that fail to get the addicted off drugs" says White

"The Drug Prevention Network of Canada provides accurate and
scientifically validated information to assist Canadians in making
well informed decisions in the areas of prevention, treatment and
education when considering the use and abuse of substances, and we
are fast becoming known world-wide as a leader in the drug policy
debate in Canada" concluded Ben Jenkins, DPNC's vice-president in Halifax.
