More articles on this topic: ScientologyJuly 11, 2005 – Kirstie Alley and Kelly Preston aren’t newcomers to the fight against psychotropic drugs.

Their tearful pleas did draw momentary media attention; however, nothing gets the word out like a box-office hunk whose whirlwind romance with a girl almost half his age just happens to coincide with press junkets to support two major summer releases.
Enter Tom Cruise, who has been on a quixotic battle against Ritalin as well as a war with Brooke Shields and her use of Paxil, using his new tabloid status as a means of squashing the opposition, even when it results in an emotionally-charged attack on Today show host Matt Lauer.
Now that Tom has paved the way, Alley and Preston are using the moment to address the issue with a renewed zeal. According to PageSix, the actresses compare Ritalin to cocaine and heroin in a letter they composed to the Food and Drug Administration.”
Parents in particular have been misled about the effects of these drugs, ” the letter warns. “They are highly addictive, and kids are using them more than street drugs to get high.”
The teachings of the Church of Scientology, founded by science-fiction writer and former frustrated psychiatry student L. Ron Hubbard, frown on all forms of psychiatry as well as the use of mind-altering drugs.
