The Orchid Recovery Center, here in South Florida, specializes in treating women for addictions, and catering to their specific needs.

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?

POPSDrugs No Longer Sold to Tourists in Netherlands "All three parties, which the government of the Netherlands is formed of, also agree that it is necessary to prohibit the sale of drugs from cannabis to foreign tourists." Imagine that - drugs cause people to do stupid things, even rob or kill. Who would've guessed? I thought bong hits had miraculous health benefits and this war on drugs was stupid because getting stoned with your kids makes more sense.

POPSLatin Americans Ditch US ‘War on Drugs’ Reform campaigners have long argued that criminalization enriched drug cartels, fuelled savage turf wars, corrupted state institutions and filled prisons with addicts who presented no real threat to society. The US used its considerable influence to keep Latin America and the UN wedded to hardline policies which kept the focus on interdictions and jail sentences for consumers as well as dealers. The "war" was first declared by the Nixon administration. It’s about time more countries began viewing drug abuse as the medical problem it is. For some encouragement in support of this new direction look to Portugal who in 2001 decriminalized drug use and possession. Dealers are still jailed and subject to fines but users are sent to rehab and many don’t even use anymore. Drugs in Portugal: Did Decriminalize work? http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1893946,00.html

POPSWelfare: The 'Shameless' Generation of Benefit Addicts Almost five million adults live in jobless homes The Crompton family, nicknamed 'Britain's Biggest Freeloaders' by their neighbours in Hull, live in a seven-bed house and get 33,000 a year. Harry Crompton, 51, has been out of work for 15 years and his wife Tracey, 41, has never had a job. Yet thanks to the generosity of the welfare state they receive 32,656 a year. The Cromptons were provided with two semis knocked together by the council at a cost of 20,000. The couple's only income from paid work is 20 a week from eldest son Michael, who has a factory job. They receive a further 628 a week in income support, disability allowance, carer's allowance, child tax credit, plus 120 a week rent on their seven-bedroom house. A working parent would have to earn 46,500 a year to match their income.

POPSOpium addiction ravages Afghan families "Beg says that for him all hope is lost. Even after he is buried, it'll take 70 years for the opium to ooze out of his bones. His hope, he says, are his grandkids — the only people in the family who are not yet addicts. As Beg is getting high on a recent morning, the 1-year-old crawls over and starts playing with the opium pipe. He picks it up and shakes it, as if it were a rattle. Then, imitating his grandfather, he raises the pipe to his mouth."

POPSAnother Step in the Right Direction Keep going, until the filthy smokers have to smoke only in dark corners like the addicts they are! It's a disgusting indulgence, and no one needs to do it. (And before anyone calls me prejudiced, remember that every person has complete control over whether they're a smoker or not.)

POPSI Can Think of Better Jobs for MICHigan I'm kind of getting tired of politicians thinking Michigan can be a dumping ground for their prisoners, with the idea of promoting employment opportunities in MI. This is BS in so many ways. I do not want terrorists (known or suspected) on US soil, do you?? If California pursues Michigan prisons to dump their prisoners because they cannot afford to house them, who do you think is going to take the economic hit for this when Cal can't pay the bill? This is no different to me than Detroit politicians dumping toxic waste under the table with our tax dollars. Why not turn the Standish prison into some type of rehabilitation facility for drug and alcohol addicts, or temporary housing or emergency medical? There are other more positive ways to create jobs. I vote: TAKE NO PRISONERS!!
