He IS my son. I’m so sorry for your loss; truly, I am. I don’t doubt YOUR story. Organizations of any size – churches, corporations, governments – have flaws and may contain corruption. We know the truth of our own stories and must listen with open hearts to others. I will always be grateful for blessings in a world rampant with evil. I’ve done nothing to deserve them. You’re entitled to your opinion. Fear and love are pretty powerful. Choose wisely. God bless you on your journey toward peace.

Narconon saves lives… it is proved by every individual graduate who leaves the program and lives a happy drug free life.
I agree
I just posted a video response. This video was done by a very close friend who is going through rehab. This was a final project for one of her groups. I think it may touch some of you. Please post a comment with your views, she would really like to know what people think.
I love Narconon, I always will because Narconon saved my life from addiction. I would not be alive without Narconon. If you have a loved one who needs help, Narconon can help.
There are a lot of negative comments on this page, and I’m sure there will be more added, however they are not true statements. I went through the program and I am alive and happy today. Ignore all other posts.

The City of Vancouver “Vancouver has finally “CRACKED UP”
By Stephen Thomson
Carnegie Community Action Project introduces vision for Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside
A Downtown Eastside group is calling for a stop to gentrification and support for a government-sanctioned drug market in the Vancouver neighbourhood.
The proposed actions are part of a “vision” for the area introduced by the Carnegie Community Action Project today (July 20).
In a 14-page report, the project organizers call for pressure on the federal government to reform the rules around the drug trade in the Downtown Eastside.
“Replacing the illegal drug market with a regulated legal market based on health and human rights principles would improve safety and health in the DTES and in other places,” the report reads.
“If the city supports DTES residents to replace the illegal drug market with a regulated legal one, that could be a first for the country and the world.”
The group also calls on Vancouver mayor and council to buy 50 lots in the neighbourhood for social housing over the next decade. They want city zoning and planning processes to limit gentrification while affordable housing is created.
“If this vision is not implemented, more and more market development will push into the DTES, displacing residents and destroying the community assets that provide so much essential support to remaining low-income residents,” the report reads.
According to the Carnegie Community Action Project, the Downtown Eastside is home to 16,000 people. Around 70 per cent of the neighbourhood’s residents have low incomes, the group says.
The project organizers also call for more safe-inhalation and safe-injection sites in the Downtown Eastside and elsewhere in Vancouver
Transformed Downtown Eastside could be a global model: report
By Tracy Sherlock, Vancouver Sun July 21, 2010
Vancouver could lead the world by transforming the Downtown Eastside into a community where everyone has a home, drug treatment is available on demand and drugs are decriminalized, according to a report created by the Carnegie Community Action Project.
The vision report, Assets to Action, was developed over two years with consultation from 1,200 Downtown Eastside residents and several community groups, who endorsed the plan in front of a crowd of about 100 people gathered Tuesday at the Carnegie Community Centre on the corner of Hastings and Main.
The No. 1 concern of most residents was housing.
Report co-author Jean Swanson said 5,000 people in the Downtown Eastside live in horrific conditions in 10-by-10 single-room-occupancy hotels with shared bathrooms and cockroach infestations.
“The city says SROs should be replaced, but at the present rate, that will take 40 years,” Swanson said.
The vision calls for Vancouver city council to buy five lots a year in the Downtown Eastside for social housing over the next 10 years.
While organizers said treatment on demand for drug addiction would be the best option, they also called for a regulated legal drug market.
“You need to be able to access [the drugs] you need right away, safely from nurses or doctors, not from the Hells Angels,” report co-author Wendy Pedersen said.
“The black market is punishing us and it needs to end. We need to stop sending those billions of dollars out of this community.”
Organizers called for a slowed pace of gentrification until existing residents and homeless people have social housing.
“Our character and our flavour — all of our beautiful little stores — are starting to get wiped out,” Pedersen said, adding that residents are being pushed out of the area.
The report says residents are proud of their community and want to drive the neighbourhood transformation.
“Low-income residents are saying they want to have more control over their own community,” said Phoenix Winter, a board member at the Carnegie Community Centre. “We don’t want others coming here and telling us what’s wrong with us and what we need. We have good ideas about solving problems ourselves.”
