ABOUT THE SPEAKER
|
"I have learned that kids
want to talk about the issues around
drugs and alcohol. Having worked with
kids and substance abuse for many years, if they believe
the adult they are talking with
is honest, straightforward, knowledgeable and does not
preach to them, they will open up to you"
"I
am a former Special Agent of 25 years with the U. S. Drug
Enforcement Administration. My last six years with the
DEA I headed the New York Office, DEA's largest. In all
of my experience I have learned three absolute facts,
which many Americans fail to understand. First, law enforcement
will never make drugs completely unavailable in the U.
S. Second, most adults know almost nothing about the world
of kids and drugs (how many of us know what Special K
and Roofies are?). And third, drugs are devastating our
communities, homes and workplaces, and we fail to deal
with this in a way that will make any substantial change."

What They Say About Bob . . .
"I
have been to several drug prevention seminars, but have
never been moved the way I was during your presentation.
Your blunt, honest manner really drives home the gravity
of this situation. I am convinced so many of our parents
here are in the dark about how big this problem really is
in our community. As you stated yourself, I think parents
here think of drugs as an inner city problem and not one
that continues to kill in our own backyard" ---Katie
LaGrone, Senior Reporter ABC 7 News, Fort Myers, FL
"He
has an astounding impact. He lives and breathes this. I
think that is why he has such an effect." ---Parent
quote following a recent presentation in Naples, FL
"A
hard-hitting, no-nonsense leader, committed to solving the
drug epidemic. Few people make more sense on the issue of
substance abuse than Bob Stutman. His impact is enormous."
---Dr. Carol Sager, former Superintendent of Schools &
selected as one of the top 100 educators in the US by Scholastic
Magazine.

| Background
Bob
Stutman talks in a practical manner about the problems of
buying drugs on the street and the consequences of misidentification.
He talks about the mistakes even your best friends can make
when they share drugs with you. He talks honestly about
the effects of the most popular street drugs such as Ecstasy,
Ketamine, Cocaine, Oxycontin, Marijuana, etc., even if you
got the right stuff. Most importantly, he discusses these
issues in a straightforward manner based on his 25 years
with the DEA, including five years living undercover.
Professional
speaker, Bob Stutman, is the most famous narc in America
according to New York Magazine and Dan Rather called him
a "true American Hero". After 25 years as a DEA
Agent, rising to the head of the New York Office, Bob wrote
his autobiography "Dead on Delivery", a best-seller
published by Warner Books. He is the drug consultant for
both PBS and CBS News, and is considered the "foremost
expert on the drug issue" by Governor Mario Cuoma.
Bob regularly appears on national TV including 60 Minutes,
the Geraldo Rivera Show, Today, and has spoken in 73 countries
concerning drugs. The Young Presidents Organization named
Bob "New Speaker of the Year" and David Burke,
President of CBS News said, "Those who have heard [him]
will never be the same on the drug issue again." |
Statistics
With
only 4% of the world's population, the United States consumes
60% of the world's drugs. We see this play out in our
teenagers, given, in 13 years their illegal drug use has
doubled and high school students are now describing their
schools as :drug infested".
Almost
50% of college students binge drink and/or abuse drugs
every month; that 23% of college students (3 times the
national average) would be diagnosed as drug or alcohol
dependent and that 5 college students die daily from the
direct effects of alcohol.
