Scientologists consider that drugs cause damaging effects
on a person -- physically, mentally and spiritually. They
decrease awareness and hinder abilities. They are a
"solution" to some other problem, which themselves become

Scientologists do not take street drugs or mind-altering
psychiatric drugs.
Scientologists do use prescribed drugs as part of medical

Effective Purification Program_ is recommended.
