Drugs and the Law

Though the laws that regulate and prohibit drugs are complex, ignorance of these will not exempt an individual from being prosecuted. The first US law on drugs was an ordinance which prohibited the smoking of opium in San Francisco in 1875.

Could someone use medication to make people do things they would not normally want to do?

User Avatar

Asked by Robertfairbrother

No, it is not ethical or legal to use medication to control someone's behavior against their will. Medication should only be used to treat medical conditions and should never be used as a tool for manipulation or coercion. It is important to respect an individual's autonomy and personal choices.

Can you report an illegal immigrant?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can and you should report illegal Immigration for the reasons stated below. Simply call DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security). A couple of their telephone contact numbers are:

Operator Number: 202-282-8000

Comment Line: 202-282-8495

Illegal immigrants are commtting a crime. In most instances, they did not apply for a visa at a U.S. Consulate, they did not pay the visa application fees, they were not interviewed for worthiness to enter the U.S., their backgrounds were not checked to see if they were dangerous criminals or narcotics traffickers and they obviously failed to respect the U.S.'s laws. Furthermore, they often times illegally work in the U.S., and they steal or illegally use somebody else's Social Security number to gain employment. Therefore, many times an illegal alien breaks three federal laws.

They work for wages much less than the going-American wage, which results in lower wages for the people who compete against them and need better wages the most - working class US citizens and legal residents. This results in many Americans earning less money and paying less taxes than they should, and further grows the ever-increasing wealth gap between the rich and the poor and negatively impacts the federal budget deficit.

A great number of illegal aliens also traffick dangerous drugs, such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. Illegal alien, Mexican national narcotics traffickers, for example, dominate the distribution of those drugs through-out most regions of the U.S., except for South Florida and New England. 33% of all prisoners in federal penitentiaries are foreign nationals, and most of them are incarcerated for drug trafficking. Check with your local DEA office, and they will cofirm this information.

So, the next time you hire a company that uses illegal labor or if you contract an illegal alien for a job around the house, you are contributing to our nation's economic woes, and you are encouraging our nation to further break from the Rule of Law.

Do Doctors taper you down on methadone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Methadone has three medical uses: pain control, maintenance and detox.

In maintenance programs, the addict is given measured doses of a less-intoxicating drug that will allow him or her to function better - take care of business, hold down a job, etc.

While this form of treatment, using Methadone, is popular due to government programs, most addiction professionals consider it unacceptable, as it does nothing to help the person recover from the addiction. The methadone, itself an addictive drug, simply keeps the brain accustomed to the presence of drugs, and does nothing to remove either the need for them or the craving. Put simply, the addict remains an addict - still dependent on drugs in order to function. Combine, with the foregoing, the fact that it is quite possible to get high on Methadone itself, or use it to maintain in between bouts of using other opiates, and you can see that it is not all that it's cracked up to be by the folks with vested economic and bureaucratic interest in its continued use.

Methadone detox is likewise undesirable. At best, an opiate addict has an uncomfortable time in detox. Methadone itself has a longer and more difficult detox than heroin and most other opiates. That means tapering someone off on Methadone will take longer and, if the detox protocol is not followed precisely, the patient is likely to go into full-blown withdrawal. The most common result of that is relapse to the drug of choice.

The bare fact of the matter is that heroin itself is a better choice than Methadone for detox, but it is not legal to use it that way.

The most effective, safest detox protocol is a medically-supervised inpatient program using Suboxone. Opiate detox with Suboxone, properly done, is far shorter and more effective than with other substances, due to its narcotic agonist/antagonist action. The likelihood of relapse is substantially reduced over other drugs and methods, provided that the patient really wants to remain clean.

Having said that, we must caution against the outpatient Suboxone detox that has become widely available in the US and other countries. Outpatient detox is rarely effective, and the doctors providing it are usually not trained in detox procedures. Many of them are storefront operations that, essentially, get the patients hooked on Suboxone and continue to administer it, rather than detoxing the patient and assisting them in finding further help.

Time that opana is in your system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Opana (oxymorphone) is a very potent semi-synthetic opioid analgesic derived from morphine. It has an average half-life of 7-9hrs although it may be more or less in some people.

Opana comes in two formulations, Opana and Opana ER (oxymorphone extended-release). Opana ER is taken every 12hrs and is used for moderate-severe chronic pain requiring the use of an opioid long-term. It is not to be used for people with acute pain or to be taken as needed. Like most extended release opioids including OxyContin (oxycodone controlled-release), MS Contin (morphine sulfate controlled-release), and Kadian (morphine sulfate extended-release) Opana ER is taken twice daily (every 12hrs) to provide continuous around the clock pain control.

Taking Opana ER once daily is not appropriate and may aggravate problems, cause significantly more break through pain, insomnia, and in people who are physically dependent on opioids may experience withdrawal with only one dose. Please note that physical dependency alone is not addiction, which is a behaviour. However physical dependency does commonly occur in opioid addicts.

Opana ER is available in a wide range of doses, 5,7.5,10,15,20,30, and 40 mg tablets. Regular Opana is only available in 5 and 10 mg tablets. When using regular Opana it lasts between 4-6hrs.

Avinza (morphine sulfate extended-release) is the only medication that provides 24hr relief. Additionally Duragesic (fentanyl transdermal), a patch applied to the skin, provides pain relief for 74hrs.

Is Valium a narcotic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Valium is not the innocent "mothers little helper" of the 1950's, Valium is a serious narcotic that can be addicting. Valium is the brand name for diazepam which is a benzodiazepine in the opioids category. This simply means that Valium is a powerful depressant that slows down brain activity and triggers the reward system. Valium is prescribed for anxiety and insomnia but is very easy to abuse. Many people who are sensitive to addiction find themselves taking more than the prescribed amount of valium. This can lead to physical dependence and Valium addiction.
