  • Medical Marijuana, Illicit Marijuana and Mr. C
    Medical Marijuana, Illicit Marijuana and Mr. C In late 2013, word came out that New York State was looking into legalizing medical marijuana for treatment of certain serious symptoms that arise from certain serious medical conditions. Among the symptoms and medical conditions to be included were muscle spasms in multiple sclerosis patients. Since multiple sclerosis is my specialty, both professionally and personally, I decided to write this article to help educate people about medical marijuana. I. My Experience with Marijuana as a Street Drug Until sometime in the recent past, I had had minimal experience with the world of marijuana. I know I had smelled something weird at several concerts that I went to when I was in college. My friends told me that it wasn’t marijuana but rather “herb cigarettes.” They told me that they were sold in a store in CollegeTown by a Ms. Jayne. One time, my friend asked if I could drive him to CollegeTown so he could get more “herb cigarettes.” When we got there, my friend told me that he would go purchase them and that I should wait in the car. I thought “whatever” because I knew smoking was bad for you regardless of what you smoked and I didn’t like the smell anyway. When he got out of the car, he went into a place that didn’t look so much like a store, but more like an alleyway that had several crates stacked up high so you couldn’t really see it from the street. I remember thinking that Ms.

  • What Are the Treatments for Heroin Addiction?
    How is heroin linked to prescription drug abuse? See page 3. from the director: Research Report Series Heroin is a highly addictive opioid drug, and its use has repercussions that extend far beyond the individual user. The medical and social consequences of drug use—such as hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, fetal effects, crime, violence, and disruptions in family, workplace, and educational environments—have a devastating impact on society and cost billions of dollars each year. Although heroin use in the general population is rather low, the numbers of people starting to use heroin have been steadily rising since 2007.1 This may be due in part to a shift from abuse of prescription pain relievers to heroin as a readily available, cheaper alternative2-5 and the misperception that highly pure heroin is safer than less pure forms because it does not need to be injected. Like many other chronic diseases, addiction can be treated. Medications HEROIN are available to treat heroin addiction while reducing drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms, improving the odds of achieving abstinence. There are now a variety of medications that can be tailored to a person’s recovery needs while taking into account co-occurring What is heroin and health conditions. Medication combined with behavioral therapy is particularly how is it used? effective, offering hope to individuals who suffer from addiction and for those around them. eroin is an illegal, highly addictive drug processed from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seed pod of certain varieties The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has developed this publication to Hof poppy plants.

  • The Advisability and Feasibility of Developing USP Standards for Medical Cannabis Gabriel I
    STIMULI TO THE REVISION PROCESS Stimuli articles do not necessarily reflect the policies of the USPC or the USP Council of Experts The Advisability and Feasibility of Developing USP Standards for Medical Cannabis Gabriel I. Giancaspro, Nam-Cheol Kim, Jaap Venema, Susan de Mars, Jennifer Devine, Carlos Celestino, Christine E. Feaster, Ben A. Firschein, Mary S. Waddell, Stephen M. Gardner, and Earl Jones Jr.a ABSTRACT This Stimuli article analyzes the need for public quality standards for medical cannabis (defined herein as marijuana used for medical purposes under state laws) and the potential role of the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) in addressing that need.1 Following legalization of the medical use of cannabis in several U.S. states and internationally, USP has received requests to investigate the advisability and feasibility of developing quality standards for medical cannabis. Development of quality standards for medical cannabis requires consideration of a wide range of scientific, legal, and policy issues that reach far beyond its classification as a botanical drug or herbal medicine. This article discusses the current regulatory and scientific landscape regarding medical cannabis, identifies issues related to the lack of quality standards for medical cannabis, and explores potential options for developing quality standards. USP seeks input from stakeholders on whether USP should proceed with development of quality standards for medical cannabis and if so, what approaches should be utilized to establish such standards. LEGAL AND REGULATORY LANDSCAPE The federal and state regulatory environment surrounding the medical use of cannabis involves many federal agencies and various different state laws. The evolving legal environment is an important consideration when evaluating the advisability and feasibility of USP developing a public standard for cannabis.

  • New Zealand's Emergent Opioid Trends
    New Zealand’s emergent opioid trends - the influences and impacts: Consumer and clinician understanding of New Zealand’s changing patterns of opioid use, availability and impacts Klare Braye A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Health Sciences Department of Psychological Medicine University of Otago, Christchurch New Zealand 2014 “Among the remedies which it has pleased Almighty God to give to man to relieve his sufferings, none is so universal and so efficacious as opium”. (Sir Thomas Sydenham, 1680) ~ iii ~ Abstract This thesis explores opioid users and addiction service providers’ understandings of the changing patterns, availability and impacts of opioids and opioid use in New Zealand with a particular focus on the last two decades. Throughout history, the availability of substances of abuse have waxed and waned. Their emergence and availability is influenced by social, legislative and political circumstances. Extensive literature exists related to the use of opioids such as morphine and methadone in New Zealand, and heroin overseas. However, few studies have examined the emerging trends of opioids that are often used as adjunctively to these substances; examples of which in recent years include poppy seed tea (PST), over-the- counter codeine-containing analgesics and most recently some prescribed pain medications. Information regarding the use, availability and impacts of these adjunct opioids from the consumers who use them, and the clinicians who work with these consumers could usefully inform service provision and public policy. This qualitative study, adopting a Husserlian phenomenological philosophy was used, to gain an understanding of the use, access to and implications of these emergent opioid trends.
