Topic: Help me choose a topic!!!! | |
---|---|
The topic must cover an issue related to substance abuse/use that might
be seen as controversial or something that needs to be changed. I came up with the following topics but not motivated by them: Use of amphetamines for the treatment of ADD/ADHD The lack of insurance coverage for drug treatments, especially 30day programs Legalization of marijuana, or all drugs for that matter Anti-tobacco campaigns, are they doing what they should ? Tell me a topic and why do you feel is controversial!!! |

in West Virginia you can't buy spray paint(or sell it) until your 18
years old b/c they think we're going to huff it. This means a lot of kids can't work at stores that sell paint. It not so much controversal as just plain stupid. |

How about this one:
A little-known hallucinogenic leaf that is legal in most of the USA is the target of new calls for a ban after the suicide of a teenager who smoked it. Salvia, a relative of flowering sages enjoyed by many gardeners, is the most powerful natural hallucinogen known — almost as strong as LSD, experts say. Known as "diviner's sage," salvia has been used for centuries by the Mazatec Indians in Mexico. In the USA it is sold in leaf and liquid form by websites and head shops and is available to anyone at any age. "Kids fall into a false sense of security because it's legal," says state Sen. Karen Peterson, a Delaware Democrat. "We control LSD, and we should control this." Peterson has filed a bill to make Delaware the third state to designate Salvia divinorum a banned substance like marijuana and heroin. Louisiana and Missouri have already taken such action. Despite salvia's powerful nature, the Drug Enforcement Administration has not recommended that it be banned as a dangerous drug. The DEA has been collecting information for years on the leaf, says Rogene Waite, a spokeswoman for DEA. The process involves measuring its availability, potential for abuse and medical uses. "It is a concern and we're looking at it, but just because it hasn't been scheduled doesn't mean it's safe or healthy," Waite says. "It's dangerous from what you can see from anecdotal material." Research on salvia has found that it causes depressive symptoms in rats and monkeys and dysphoria — similar to depression — in people. However, some see the potential for beneficial uses. Daniel Siebert, who sold his T-shirt business years ago to study medicinal plants, has a website where he offers cautionary information about salvia and sells the leaves and their extracts. Siebert says moderate doses help people meditate and gain insight about their inner selves. The first time Siebert chewed some of the leaves, he says, he had pleasant visions of "fairy-like beings hovering around the hillside" of his home in Malibu, Calif. When he first smoked the more potent extract, however, he experienced an "extreme disembodied state in another universe" that he says was frightening and unpleasant. He says he favors "some reasonable controls" but opposes a ban. Have not tried myself but it looks interesting though. Actually I would not try it cause I'm F*ed up enough. LOL |

Weed should be legal. Why does the government spend so much
of it's effort to keep people from gettin' high? Now I know somebody out there's gonna call me a druggie for sayin' this shit but fuck 'em! Who cares? I'm just being me. Anything that gets you high safely should be legal. Just think of all the DANGEROUS shit people do to get high cos they can't get no weed! |
