Prescription Drug Abuse
2009-08-30 01:06:00 With Michael Jackson's doctor and the recent homicide charge, it seems timely to talk about prescription drug abuse. While we don't yet know the complete list of chemicals found in Michael Jackson's body, it's quite clear that this is an example of a doctor and his patient acting complicitly in the horrible cycle of drug abuse. This is an equal opportunity syndrome. For example, you can be a doctor, a grocery store cashier, a garbageman, a famous writer, even a star high school athlete and be prescription drug abuse victim. While I have not intentionally been complicit, like most doctors, I've been duped by patients that I trusted were telling me a true story only to find out they were...

No Place to Hide: Drug Abuse
2009-08-14 14:00:00 When the addict commits a harmful act or dishonest deed, they develop a memory of that deed and all the surrounding circumstances at the moment the deed was done. Contained in each memory is who was involved, the time and place the deed occurred and what the end result of the dishonest deed was. The addict knows these negative actions are wrong and because the person himself, not the addicted personality, is good they will feel bad or guilty after the dishonest act was committed.

Drug Rehab And Cocaine Addiction
2009-08-11 14:00:00 With cocaine, the addiction can become so strong that an individual becomes literally willing to give up everything else in life for his or her addiction. Families, possessions, careers, faith, self respect, dignity, their freedom and in many cases, their life, it's no wonder that cocaine is the greatest threat to this nation since those who become addicted are very devout customers and they constantly need more and more, regardless of the price to be paid.
Drug Addiction - History of Cocaine
2009-08-07 14:00:00 The one key point to make here is that it is the war on addiction, and not the war on drugs that we must strive to handle.

Overeaters are like drug addicts and should not be enabled
2009-07-23 17:35:00 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ce-lie/ / CC BY-NC 2.0 This is not an easy post to write. I struggle with my weight. Eating right and exercising takes effort and I work at it every single day. As President Obama encourages a national conversation about health care, what often gets overlooked is the part we play in our own demise. Friends and family like to tease, calling me a skinny bitch. They imply that staying thin is easy for those of us who don’t overeat. It’s not easy. Life isn’t easy. Doing the right thing by our bodies as a way of showing gratitude for life isn’t easy. We do it anyway. I also hear, from time to time, excuses from people who are losing the battle of the bulge. For example, they tell me they’re not like me. They like food. Bullshit. That’s like saying an alcoholic likes the taste of vodka. I like the taste of vodka. And tequila. And wine. So I make damn sure I don’t overdo it because then I wouldn’t be able to drink...

Romi claimed she regularly supplied Audrina with cocaine, saying, "not only do I carry the drugs for Audrina but I also frequently sell it to her for free stash."Romi elaborated on the beach house and the 4th of July 2008 party being filmed for the The Hills and how she was forced to go back and forth between that house and the DKNY house to ferry drugs back and forth to the reality show star.As of December 2008, another source reports that according to Romi, she is now supplying Audrina with Hydrocodone and Oxycontin as well.

China Nepstar (NPD): Emerging drug store chain
2009-05-01 14:00:00 "Today, most independent drug stores in the U.S. have been replaced by the behemoth pharmacy departments; but in China, the business is still dominated by mom-and-pop operations," says China expert Tony Sagami.In his The Asia Stock Alert, he says, "However, that is changing, and getting in on the ground floor with China Nepstar (NYSE: NPD) could make you a bundle of money.""No Chinese company controls more than 1% of the country’s entire pharmacy industry. In the business world, that’s called a highly fragmented industry. Not for long. "Just like in the U.S., the pharmacy business is in the process of slowly changing from mom-and-pops to big, bulk-buying corporate giants."In China, that change is being brought on by China Nepstar, the country’s largest drugstore chain with 2,700 outlets. Established in 1995, the green Nepstar store is becoming a familiar sight in many Chinese urban neighborhoods."Being the biggest h...

There are actually more celebrities involved than first thought.Actor Lim Joo Hwan, who started out as a model and became an actor just like his pal Joo Ji Hoon, hasn’t exactly made it big yet, but he did play a supporting role in the never-ending drama Boys Over Flowers. All you avid Boys Over Flowers fans will recognize him as So Yi Jeong’s older brother.

Drug research boosts Wuxi PharmaTech (WX)

Drug Tests for Welfare Recipients?
2009-03-28 14:49:00 I know I’ve been slacking here lately, but certain news stories are not escaping my attention. For example, Craig Blair, a Republican in the West Virginia Legislature, wants anyone applying for food stamps, unemployment compensation or any federal program to submit to mandatory drug tests. Similar laws have been introduced in Kansas, Hawaii, Missouri, Minnesota, and…wait for it…Florida. A person testing positive for drugs doesn’t get assistance from the state. Is this correct? Well, then, what happens to them? Drug addicts are a most pathetic group of people. They are suffering a severe health problem. They are punished with lost jobs, decaying teeth, premature death, alienation from friends and family. Now they are going to be further punished with no assistance? Why are we focused on punishment rather than concern and help? And who is going to pay for the added bureaucracy devoted to screening, testing, and evaluating these people? Drug addicts need re...

The "ants" -- along with larger smuggling operations -- are feeding a rapidly expanding arms race between Mexican drug cartels.The U.S. weapons -- as many as 2,000 enter Mexico each day, according to a Mexican government study -- are crucial tools in an astoundingly barbaric war between rival cartels that has cost 4,000 lives in the past 18 months and sent law enforcement agencies in Washington and Mexico City into crisis mode....
