POPS800,000 Americans Busted Annually for Pot
They argue the drug war “is doing far more harm than marijuana itself ever will,” because * it diverts hundreds of thousands of police agents from serious crimes “to the pursuit of harmless tokers”; * it costs taxpayers at minimum $10 billion a year to catch, prosecute, and incarcerate marijuana users and sellers; * it enables government to snatch the cars, money, computers and other properties of people caught up in drug raids even if they have had no charges filed against them; and * it allows “police agents at all levels to trample our Bill of Rights in their eagerness to nab pot consumers.” The drug war has also unleashed a torrent of racism in the form of unjust sentencing, which confines crack-cocaine users who are mostly black to prison for longer terms than powder snorters, who are mostly white. Hightower and Frazer say authorities have perverted the infamous “Patriot Act” of 2001 for use in non-terrorism cases, allowing “sneak-and-peak” search warra

POPSJudge orders 3 to trial in Anna Nicole drug case A pharmacist said he refused to fill an order for drugs written by Eroshevich and submitted by Kapoor because taking them would be "pharmaceutical suicide." Possibly the most powerful witness against Stern was never seen at the hearing. A nanny who worked for Smith in the Bahamas was interviewed by an investigator who read her comments from the witness stand.

POPSWhew! Good thing people are smarter than rats - grin. We don't need a canary to warn us about trouble in the fast food lane of life - we need a rat! Read on to see that rats react the same to heroin, as they do to bacon, cheesecake and HoHos. So why do you think they tested three of guy's favorite food groups?

POPSTwelve-Step Program For Recovery From Mormonism
3. I make to myself a firm promise to listen in the future only to reason, rationality, and factual evidence in making decisions about how I should live my life, rejecting all emotional appeals, guilt-inducing threats, myths, pretty stories, promises of castles in the air, and superstition. 4. I make a searching and fearless moral and intellectual inventory of myself with the purpose of recognizing in myself those weaknesses which induced me to remain Mormon for so long. 5. I itemize (preferably in writing) to myself and to a trusted loved one (and to a higher power if I believe in one) the specific reasons why I can no longer be Mormon. 6. I make the decision to do what is right, and to accept whatever the consequences may be for acknowledging the truth and living accordingly. 7. I begin working through each of my Mormonism-related problems of mind, body, relationships, and (if I believe in such a thing) spirit. 8. I make a list of those for whom it would be im

POPSAlcoholic Rats Show Kudzu May Help Addicted Humans Though kudzu extract is already available in health food stores, "it's not a good drug," said study leader Ivan Diamond, vice president of Gilead Sciences, a biopharmaceutical company that is working to develop a kudzu-based compound for humans. That's because kudzu extract—unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—is poorly absorbed by the body and its concentration varies wildly from bottle to bottle, he said. ~~~~~~~~~~~ OR -- a "good excuse" to let the pharmaceutical companies control it, thereby increasing their profits even more.

POPSGreat Idea or 1984? Often the support for delinquent children is too little too late and devolves into simple warehousing. But is this the answer? If it works, do the ends justify the means? Is there another way this could be done?

POPSNot Just an Addiction Problem Ever wondered why addictions -- to drugs, alcohol, the Internet, shopping, etc -- are so hard to kick? Why expensive drug treatment programs so frequently fail to deliver their promised results? The answer lies in the fact that addictions are but people's desperate way of coping with their deeper psychological problems, most often depression and anxiety but may include schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis as well. When substance abuse professionals focus on the person's dysfunctional behavior and ignore the underlying pain (even worse, downplay the pain by believing that the depression will go away once this person is off drugs), the chances of relapsing are extremely high. It's time we pay serious attention to the use of substances for self-medicating reasons.

POPSHomosexuals killed at gay club in Tel Aviv Now lesbian and gay leaders and youth workers are planning damage-control exercises, amid fears that many young homosexuals who have been brave enough to openly declare their sexuality would be too scared to return to gay bars, nightclubs and centers, and that some of them would even go back to living a double life and keep their sexuality a secret.

POPSThe Michael Jackson Case to Date July 1st
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD has asked the DEA to assist them in its investigation into multiple doctors who treated and prescribed medications for Michael Jackson. The LAPD wants help in tracking down the source of medications. As we first reported, the powerful anesthesia Propofol was found in Jackson's home and it appears he got the drug through an IV before he died. As we first reported, Propofol, a powerful anesthesia, was found in the house after Jackson died. Various medical experts tell us there is absolutely no medical justification for Jackson to have had this drug in his home -- it is used to knock people out before surgery. It is administered through an IV. We're told Jackson wanted the drug to sleep and that he had cravings for anesthesia -- whenever he had even the most minor medical procedure ... he had the doctor put him under. It is increasingly looking like Propofol may have caused Jackson to go into cardiac arrest and die.
