Our main goal is to guarantee the quality of life to our children through all accessible scientific and technical knowledge.
Narcotic substances and dependency they cause oblige us to undertake active measures to limit their distribution and use. In order to prevent anything, we should know what it is. Only through good knowledge of the reasons that had lead to different deviations, it will be possible to efficiently prevent them. Drugs create fictitious welfare and perfect world - it is only a temporary illusion. Overcoming them is a hard, but necessary process.
