Absolutely. Even though it is just an anti-histamine, it does have a very groggy effect (very similar to Ny-Quil or Benadryl) and can be abused for that.
Can you honestly spend three hours on here answering questions and not be considered lame?
Yes you can. It doesn't matter. All this website is for is to get answers.
That's one opinion. Here's another:
You can spend a lot more than three hours answering questions on WikiAnswers and it not be lame at all! In fact, it can be a valuable learning experience, and can help others as well. It all depends on what you want to get out of your WikiAnswers' experience and how you spend your time here.
There are a lot of hobbies that consume many hours. Some people spend hours a day on Facebook, while others spend those hours in front of the Xbox. People read books for hours, watch reality TV, or work in their garden. While many of those are great hobbies, answering questions that people have asked is one that actually gives back to the "community" a bit. Spending a few hours here and there helps build up a source of knowledge that can help people all over the world. There is nothing lame about that.

Is it natural to have affection for rocks?
Affection is a natural thing. Affection for rocks might or might not involve displaced emotion that could be usefully discussed with a counselor. If it is causing problems in your life, I would talk to someone. If it's just in the sense of a love of nature that comes out in an enjoyment of rocks and minerals, I wouldn't worry about it.
Close to 1.3 billion.
Smoking of tobacco is practised worldwide by over one thousand million people. However, while smoking prevalence has declined in many developed countries, it remains high in others and is increasing among women and in developing countries. Between one-fifth and two-thirds of men in most populations smoke. Women's smoking rates vary more widely but rarely equal male rates.

Should drug use be decriminalized?
Illegal use of all types of drugs and illegal substances (like glues, etc) should not be legalized because people are prone to not only harm their bodies and others bodies and many times cause death. The general population fails to fully understand pharmaceutical medications, illegally manufactured chemicals, and non-drug substances when they use them to get high, make them feel less pain or to drug others for various reasons. All drugs, medications and botanical substances should be regulated and information should be provided with all of them to educated the person using them.
Providing drugs to addicts needs to be done in a controlled environment by a physician such as is done in the methadone program and programs to help addicts of all types in recovery centers.
Even alcohol should be regulated and servers should discontinue serving to customers who have had enough. It is too bad there is no way to control those who chose to drink on their own. They will have to learn the hard way and hopefully never kill someone while inebriated.
The people who most often pay the price for illegal and even legal use of drugs, ethanol or sniffing what ever are children and fetal babies. If they don't suffer from neglect, exposure or the use of drugs then they suffer because their parents used while they were inside their mothers.
How does lying affect my recovery program?
Lying (denial) about your drinking is the leading cause of why people become physical and emotional addicted to alcohol. which in others words means dependant upon alcohol. If you don't acknowledge to yourself that you are an alcoholic then you may just forget about a recovery program all together.

Explain why smoking may cause mental impairment?
The research, published in the British Medical Journal, highlighted a 44 percent increase in risk of cognitive impairment when exposed to high levels of second-hand smoke.
Previous studies identified active smoking as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia.
However, this is the first large-scale study to conclude that second-hand smoke exposure could lead to dementia and other neurological problems in adults. (Previous findings suggested that second-hand smoke exposure could impair cognitive development in children and adolescents.)
The research, led by Dr. David Llewellyn, used saliva samples from nearly 5000 non-smoking adults over the age of 50. By measuring levels of cotinine (a byproduct of nicotine) in their saliva and taking a detailed smoking history, the researchers were able to assess levels of exposure to second-hand smoke.

Will drugs used to treat OCD help prevent addictive behaviours?
In my opinion the answer to this question would be yes, OCD drugs would be effective against addictive behaviors. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder's key features (occording to the DSM IV) include "obsessions (persistent, often irrational, and seemingly uncontrollable thoughts)" and "compulsions (actions which are used to neutralize the obsessions)". An example could be someone who is obsessed with germs and being clean, so therefore compulsively washes his hands, uses tissues to pick things up etc. He uses the actions to help calm or neutralize the thoughts.
Addiction or dependency (to drugs for example) can be defined as an obsession with the drug or being high, or even with another unpleasant feeling like anxiety, and the compulsion to use the substance to alleviate or neutralize that obsession. Addicts often describe their use as self-medicating. They may describe themselves as always being "stressed" or feeling "not-normal" until they use their drug of choice to "fix" the problem.
So if OCD behavior can be helped by medications such as certain selective seratonin re-uptake inhibitors, then so would addictive behavior since they are really one-and-the-same. Now would the meds. prevent addictive behaviors? That suggests that you are trying to stop behaviors that have not happened yet, and in the case of addiction where the behavior supplies the diagnosis, that just may not be possible.

How do you write a service plan for a community based drug treatment and rehabilitation center?
A visit to a nearby center offering the services that you have in mind would be a great place to begin. People truly do like to help when given the chance and are great sources for giving hints on what pit-falls are ahead. Just don't go to a center that you would be in direct competition with. In person is always best, with a phone call to set up a time to visit when they are least busy. Take a look at this site: http://www.shb.ie/content48954716_1.cfm for an example. If you'd like to see one in Adobe format, (must have Adobe Acrobat Reader), try this site: http://www.tcada.state.tx.us/policy_info/StatewideServiceDeliveryPlan2004.pdf (The above URL will open Adobe Acrobat Reader). To find out how to submit your plan to your state's government, you may need to visit your state's government site. Or you might try contacting your Congressman/woman for better information.
People hiccup when they have a shortness of breath.Hiccuping is actually something we have to thank our ancestors for.
Back when all life was marine life, (or undersea life) animals had something like a gill in the back of their throught.
Although we are no longer fishes, we still have that gill in our throat, although it no longer serves a purpose.
When we have a shortness of breath, somethimes that "gill" is pushed out of place, causing us to go
Hiccup!
Why is there so much filth on the internet now days and what can we all do together to stop it?
All through history you can look at a repetitive pattern of mankind going through stages of deepening "filth"; as you put it. If you examine what is taking place in the hearts of the people of those times you will find the more "filth" the more they have chose to ignore the foundational guidelines given by God, now available for your review in the Christian Bible.
Fortunately what has also taken place is as the filth worsens, people much like you have noticed it. Realizing they are not fulfilling their lives to the level of happiness they had hoped. Repetitively over the centuries , a revival of spiritual needs takes place and people go thought the process of cleaning up their lives as they realize the happiness living their life for God brings to them, until then the process repeats itself as for some reason, since just past the creation, man get tricked into ignoring God, thinking we can make it on our own without God. It all started with the (symbolic) Apple, first eaten by Eve and then feed to Adam through her hand.
We are in a time that is perhaps one of, if not the most dramatic turning away from God movements in History. This time, often because we foolishly believe in "science" that supposedly disproves the reality of God's existence. Oddly enough, that same "science" can't come up with any better explanation for the origin of life than it was created by God. Unless you call life materializing out of thin air good science.
It is all a matter of opinion for one. I assume that filth refers to sex and activity's and perversions surrounding it. Te reason there is so much reference to sexuality in all of its forms is because it is the humans strongest motivating force. As soon as humans were able to communicate a third of what they communicated was associated with sex in one way or another. Filth is simply the opinion of something by someone. Now that there is a universal method for all people to easily communicate, openly everyone is forced to become aware of the differences and likes that other people have that they themselves have never before been aware of. that does not mean it is filth. As to what can we do to stop it, well as soon as we can work out and decide dispassionately what people should not be allowed to communicate to each other and why we can make a list of taboo subjects, and people will then ignore it and continue to express them selves as they always have. the way to stop filth on the Internet is not to look at it.
There is a lot of filth and it is very disturbing. I have children and sadly I can't leave my trust in them that they wont find something disturbing when the internet is so corrupted. Its not them it those who put the porn there in the first place. Why is there so much, well I guess one has to think, maybe it is deliberately designed to corrupt people in such a way they lose their own identity. Young people especially are like lost lambs. There was no reason for the Internet to have porn or sexual material on it, in the first place. This I believe was done deliberately to cause confusion and corruption in society. Once a person's mind is poisoned its very hard to clear their path. Its a sad fact. People assume that porn is ok, but it isn't. On T.V. and shops that hold such material one, needs to be a particular age to be accepted. So, why was it that there were not restrictions with the internet? There was and is no reason for this type of disturbing rubbish to be out there in the first place unless who has put it there has ulterior motives for society as a whole. Now, if you browse and want an idea of what is really in people's view 24/7 you don't just have sex stories, you have rape stories. Sex with animals, bondage, children being subjected as play things. Its so, so disturbing and if your mind and thoughts are in the right place, it makes you want to throw up. This type of material as far as I am concerned, is the silent corruption and more dangerous than the two world words put together because its aiming at innocent kids. Its killing our next generation and poisoning the minds of those who are vulnerable and cant think straight. If you read some stories and see how easy it is to access them, even with the nanny net, etc. You will not let even your twenty one year old go near it. Heaven help our world if this isn't stopped. What is being viewed is so dangerous and disturbing that it is killing our society in more ways that one, and making people fear for their own safety. Even babies are no longer safe in the hands of a stranger. That says it all and for anyone who assumes that the world was always like this, unfortunately it wasn't. What we as people are witnessing now, is evil at its strongest and no one has yet be successful in standing up to it. When stories go out, about grandmothers being raped, children and anyone for that matter and even animals aren't safe, it is telling us that our time in this world is limited. It is telling us that the beast has been freed and its followers are many.
I totally agree that this type of filth needs to come off our internet, but is it too late? I think so. Also there is nothing more annoying than when someone says, if you don't like it, don't view it. Its like telling a mouse that has cheese in front of its face, don't eat it, if you know you will get killed for trying to take it. It would be better for everyone if that sentence could be changed around to actually say, IF YOU DON'T GET IT, YOU NEVER NEED TO WORRY ABOUT SEEING IT. No one had the right to put such disgusting and dangerous rubbish on the internet in the first place.
I too agree! Has anyone looked at the statistics of just how much is out there on our screens in our living rooms, etc. This internet was probably designed to carry such material but camouflaged in such a way, that one would never think it was to be used to corrupt minds and lives in the first place! Many lives have been ruined because of this free rubbish. And yes, I have read some stories just to get an idea of what kind of stuff is out there today and yes it is so bad and to think how many hits the stories also have, makes you wonder what the hell is really going on in our world and why.
There is a lot of material on the internet that reflects what is in peoples minds some of this is terrible stuff some of it is sheer enlightenment. some of it is simple day to day advice instruction and council. and then there is the side that aids us in our everyday living and transaction. There is no way to stop people from entering into the internet without them taking their particular ideas into it with them, and no mater how vehemently another feels that their ideas are evil perverse dishonest or filthy it will always be up to the viewer of this material to accept or reject it based upon his or her experience and wisdom. How do we stop this material from getting onto the web? The answer is simple Make our children wise enough to see the folly in what they see, or at least teach them to think with reasoning to form their judgment. I suspect that the reference to "filth" in the question relates to sexual matters not the coruption of our leaders the hunger and disease and cultural and religious bullying that makes the world what it is. We are so strung out by this sex issue that people are afraid to tell their children how not to get pregnant or how to avoid diseased that are spread through sex. It is little wonder that there are so many crazy and misguided perversions related to sex when the consensus seems to be that sex has more in common with the the job of the anus and bladder then it has with a pleasurable experience, making love, and finally making children. So before there will be a reduction in the perversions on the web lets start by not perverting what is not perverse in the first place for our own misguided religious or political reasons.
