Deadly Drugs

Last week, the government has sacked its most senior drugs advisor, Dr Professor Nutt, after he claimed cannabis was no more harmful than alcohol. And that horse-riding was riskier than taking ecstasy.

(Technically he's right. The lifetime odds of dying from ecstasy overdose is 1 in 17,803. The risk of dying from horse-riding is around double - 1 in 7,833.)

Taking the science behind his statement and mashing it up with press coverage of drug risks creates an interesting picture.

The government's own data backs up Nutt's assertions. Cannabis seems pretty risk-free, mortality-wise, and its dangers are over-reported in the popular media. Meanwhile, fatalities from legal drugs like paracetamol and anti-depressants are higher than most illicit drugs combined. And those fatalities mostly go unreported.

Reducing Harm: Treatment and Beyond

Harm reduction is a public health philosophy that seeks to lessen the dangers that drug abuse and our drug policies cause to society. A harm reduction strategy is a comprehensive approach to drug abuse and drug policy. Harm reduction's complexity lends to its misperception as a drug legalization tool.

Harm reduction rests on several basic assumptions. A basic tenet of harm reduction is that there has never been, is not now, and never will be a drug-free society.

A harm reduction strategy seeks pragmatic solutions to the harms that drugs and drug policies cause. It has been said that harm reduction is not what's nice, it's what works.

A harm reduction approach acknowledges that there is no ultimate solution to the problem of drugs in a free society, and that many different interventions may work. Those interventions should be based on science, compassion, health and human rights.

Especially mind-blowing is that even people doing drugs with someone who dies of an overdose can be prosecuted. These are often the only people who can call for help, and yet the law provides them with a disincentive to call 911.

Kicking off her weekend a bit early, Lindsay Lohan was spotted attending a private house party in Hollywood Hills last night (November 5).

The “Georgia Rule” actress was helped to her car by a male friend, looking cute in a purple dress with a black vest, black stockings, and black heels.

Earlier in the day, LiLo arrived home to find a plethora of paparazzi waiting for her. Luckily she had security that helped her bypass the shutterbugs quickly.

She wore a pair of oversized black sunglasses and covered her face to help tone down all of the flashbulbs that were going off all around her.

As for the family drama with her father, Michael Lohan, Lindsay recently wrote, “He’s a deadbeat dad. He’s disgusting to do this…. he needs help.”

The Orchid Recovery Center Is A Rehabilitation Center

clipper's remarks: Women often have different, unique, problems when it comes to addictions. Women are more likely to have ego or guilt problems. The Orchid Recovery Center caters to these particular needs that women have, and helps them to overcome their addictions.

Clip Source: orchidrecoverycenter.professionaljournalonline.com

Women have become increasingly likely to become addicted to the same types of drugs as men have. While in previous decades they may have been more prone to addiction to prescription drugs that were almost synonymous with being a housewife, the modern era is one that sees women as likely to be addicted to drugs such as heroine and cocaine as men are. However, while the drugs that women are dependent on may be identical to those that men become dependent on, the reasons for becoming dependent and the most effective methods of becoming dependency free are quite different.

New row over Colombia-US accord

clipper's remarks: Venezuela has broken off diplomatic relations with Bogota and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has warned that Colombian military bases could be used by the US to attack his country.

Other countries in the region, including Brazil and Chile, have also expressed concern.

The BBC's Jeremy McDermott, in Colombia, says Colombia is increasingly isolated in the region, but does not seem to care, just so long as it has US support.

President Uribe's deal with the US has caused concern in the region

Colombian opposition groups have reacted angrily after details of a controversial military deal with the US were made public.

Under the 10-year deal, the US military will not only have access to military bases, but also be able to use major international civilian airports.

US personnel and defence contractors will also enjoy diplomatic immunity.

President Alvaro Uribe says the agreement will help rid Colombia of drugs gangs and left-wing rebel groups.

But leading opposition senator Gustavo Petro, of the left-wing PDA party, said the deal amounted to a virtual US occupation of Colombia.

They reveal that the US military will have access to seven Colombian army, navy and air force bases and also be able to use civilian airports under conditions that have still not been made clear.

The deal has led to a worsening of already strained ties between Colombia and Venezuela.

NEW HOPE FOR CANCER PATIENTS

SCIENTISTS have come a step closer to destroying breast cancer cells without killing healthy cells.

Experts around the globe are looking at a range of ways to do this, including new drugs and special lasers.

But now a team in Israel has demonstrated that a drugs therapy already shown to work in genetic breast cancer may also kill other breast cancer cells without damaging healthy ones.

A paper in the journal Breast Cancer Research reveals the drugs can block an enzyme that all cells need to thrive.

However, a team led by Professor Cohen-Armon of Tel-Aviv University found that cancer cells seem more reliant on this enzyme, known as PARP, than other cells.

The team hope the discovery will one day work on other cancers and British research led by Dr Alan Ashworth suggests the drugs may in fact work on a far wider number of cancers.

But he stresses that tests have so far been carried out only on mice and treatment is a long way off.

Oppose the Government Takeover of Health Care

TELL YOUR SENATORS:

Riddled with Taxes: This legislation is riddled with tax hikes. They start by taxing those earning over $10,831 year who don’t buy health insurance $750—a tax that escalates to $3,800 as income rises. Health insurance, health care devices and drugs are also taxed, adding to the cost of health care, and decreasing the competitiveness of these businesses.

Raises Insurance Prices: CBO also finds “premiums in the new insurance exchanges would tend to be higher than the average premiums in the current-law individual market…”

Force, Not Choice: This legislation includes an “individual mandate” forcing all Americans to purchase health insurance, like the Massachusetts law.

Big Insurance Boondoggle: Forcing all the uninsured into insurance could bring as much as $200 billion a year in new premiums to insurance companies

Science chief backs cannabis view

clipper's remarks: Will this bloke be sacked for telling the truth to people who don't know shit from clay (politicians)

The UK government's chief science adviser has told BBC News that he supports the former chief drugs adviser's scientific view on cannabis.

Professor John Beddington, the UK's chief scientist, would not be drawn on whether the Home Secretary was wrong to sack Professor David Nutt.

David Nutt was chair of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.

He was fired after using a lecture to say cannabis was less harmful than alcohol and tobacco.

Asked whether he agreed with Professor Nutt's view that cannabis was less harmful than cigarettes and alcohol, Professor Beddington replied: "I think the scientific evidence is absolutely clear cut. I would agree with it."

Professor Beddington is the man ultimately responsible for scientific advice in government.

He said that he believed that the sacking had occurred because of a breakdown in trust between Professor Nutt and the Home Secretary Alan Johnson.

Why American Health Care Cost so Much

Ezra Klein sat down with an insurance industry CEO to try and better understand what’s going on with our health care system. The most interesting part of the conversation (to hear him tell it) was seeing charts that actually assign costs—in dollars—to different units of care (like pills, doctor visits, and lab tests), and then compare those costs to the same units in different countries. He describes the United States column in all the bar charts like “a New York skyscraper that got lost in downtown Des Moines” in comparison to all the other countries. And, looking at the charts, it’s hard not to agree. The takeaway: our health care costs more because we let insurance companies and care providers charge more. In other countries, governments set the rates for different treatments and drugs.
