no. the medication Ultram (tramadol hcl) is non-narcotic; even though they have the same effect as hydrocodone if taken in high doses.
As of today, July24, 2010 Florida is one of the Forty-Four states that have no laws against the possession and/or use of K2. Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Missouri all have some type of law banning K2. Four states - Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey and New York are also considering laws. K2 is an herbal mixture that mimics the effects of marijuana. K2 does not show up on drug tests because it contains no THC as in marijuana.
Percentage of people who stay sober?
You can consider a person who is not an alcoholic as being sober. There are more than 12,000,000 alcoholics in the United States, which is about 5 percent of the total population. This means 95 percent are sober, although you will find more than 75 percent of adults drink alcohol to some degree and that more than 75 percent of all high school students have been drunk at least once
How many addicts are there in the US?
If one considers all the possible forms of addiction, including food addiction, addicts probably number better than half of the US population. It is impossible to state more accurately than that due to differing addictions and definitions of addiction.
Can rohypnol be absorbed through the skin?
There is a drug, don't know if it is called rohypnol, that has immediate effect when dabbed on the skin in very small doses. It renders the victim helpless. The victim will tell any truth asked and accept anything told to them as real. It also allows the perpitrator to place hypnotic suggestion that can come out later. I know this because it has been done to me repeatedly in the past. It was administered through an innocent handshake but there were times when I was being awoken from sleep, into that hypnotic state. The moments when you are dosed seem like dreams or vague memories from your distant past when you remember tham later, if you remember them at all.
Can you take suboxone if you took A pain pill?
Absolutely. But did you really just take A pain pill? Suboxone is a great medication to help those with a history of opioid dependence who are in a rehabilitation program. This medicine is NOT for those that want to get a narcotic high. Nor are they for opiate addicts who cannot find a fix and need something to hold them over until they can find "their drug of choice." Suboxone is a mixture of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist, naloxone is an antagonist. What this actually means is the buprenorphine binds to the same receptor that all other opiates (morphine, oxycontin, dilaudid, etc) bind to, the mu receptor. Normally, full agonists, such as morphine and others, bind to this receptor and produce the common effects of euphoria, among others. But buprenorphine is a partial agonist, meaning it binds the mu receptor but produces effects on a much smaller scale than the full agonists. Clinically, this means it will help to quell an addict's cravings for opiate, but it will not give them the "high." Naloxone is an antagonist, it binds the mu receptor without producing any of the effects, it is only there to block the full agonists from binding the receptor also. It is used for those that overdose from opiates, like heroin, and have decreased respirations and heart rate secondary to the high amounts of opiates in their body. The naloxone knocks the heroin off the mu receptor and blocks it from reattaching for a short time, reversing the overdose. Suboxone is meant to be absorbed sublingually, leave it under the tongue until it dissolves. This way, the buprenorphine absorbs but the naloxone is not. So only the buprenorphine gets into the system to decrease opiate cravings without the high. If a person decides to crush and inject the suboxone, which would quickly increase buprenorphine levels and possibly give the person a little high, the naloxone, which can be absorbed only intravenously, will block the buprenorphine from acting. Another characteristic of buprenorphine is its intense attraction to the mu receptor, a much stronger attraction than most other opiates, like morphine. So if both morphine and buprenorphine were in a body, the buprenorphine would bind the receptor the morphine would just get metabolized and excreted without producing effects. I bring this up to you because if you have been taking opiates on a regular basis, which will produce dependence and tolerance, then take suboxone, the buprenorphine will knock any other opiate from the mu receptor and since it doesn't produce the same level of effects, it can actually cause you to go into withdrawal. So please think about all this before mixing pain meds and suboxone.
This sounds like an Ecstasy pill. In a plastic baggy, then it probably is.

What is a functioning drug addict?
A functioning addict or alcoholic is someone who manages to keep their life together -- on a superficial level, at least -- despite their addiction.
A functioning addict holds down a job, pays their rent, etc., but spends every free minute they have drinking or doing drugs. On the surface, their life appears to be in order, but in reality, they are just scraping by. They might show up for work every day, but they still spend every night drinking until they pass out. Or, they snort small amounts of cocaine all day long, so, even though they appear to be sober, they are actually on drugs 24/7.
The memoir Drinking: A Love Story, by Caroline Knapp, is an excellent account of a functioning alcoholic's life.
What effects do nicotine and caffene have on body?
Nicotine and caffeine are called stimulants. They get the heart pumping and give you energy.
In what ways does a person become dependent on drugs?
Drugs usually have a physical addiction, which means if you don't have that drug, your body thinks it's not functioning properly. The addiction can make an individual do anything to get that drug. Some people would even kill their families to get money if they needed drugs.
It could be said that all the side effects of weed are good. Examples: the happy feeling of using weed is good for patients with depression, and will not make them suicidal or feel down on themselves. Hungry would be good for cancer patients that have a hard time eating because nothing seems appetizing until the use marijuana. The side effect that makes you sleepy is helpful for the people with insomnia because it makes them want to sleep so they get a full nights sleep. Also there is a study out there that suggests that Marijuana does not make you lose brain cells, but stimulates brain cell growth. The statistic about Marijuana making you lose brain cells was proven false after they found out how that study was conducted. Another good thing about Marijuana is that its not addictive. I believe that is a good thing, but not so much a side effect, because people cant say that you are addicted to Marijuana. Its a choice not an obsession

Who is the president of alcoholics anonymous?
Alcoholics Anonymous has no leaders or leadership in that sense. There is a board of trustees and business office that take care of matters that affect all of AA, but each group is independent. "Our leaders are but trusted servants, they do not govern."

Is inhalants a hallucinogen depressant or stimulant?
Neither, inhalants, such as hydrocarbons (gas, spray paint, etc) are considered asphyxiants, meaning that when inhaled, they take the place of oxygen in the air and deprive your brain of oxygen, which causes the lightheadedness many people claim to experience. Huffing is very dangerous and can lead to brain damage, seizures, and death. Activities such as these are responsible for many deaths among children and adolescents every year. Don't do it.http://wiki.answers.com/Are_inhalants_depressants_or_stimulants#ixzz18Ev6BUcG
