Open Question: BBC Horizon: Is alcohol worse than ecstasy?

"Is alcohol worse than ecstasy?" is a BBC documentary based on a study by Professor David Nutt, a psycho-pharmacologist at Bristol University and member of the Advisory Council on Misuse of Drugs, published early 2007. He and his team analyzed the evidence of harm caused by 20 drugs. They asked a group of 29 consultant psychiatrists who specialize in addiction to rate the drugs in categories related to physical harm, related to the likelihood of addiction and related to social harms. They also extended the analysis to another group of 16 experts spanning several fields including pharmacology, police, chemistry, forensics, psychiatry and legal services. - IMDB The ranking: 20 Cathinone (Khat) 19 Amyl nitrite (Poppers) 18 MDMA/ Ecstasy 17 GHB 16 Anabolic steroid 15 Methylphenidate (e.g. Ritalin) 14 LSD/ Acid 13 4-MTA 12 Solvents 11 THC (Cannabis) 10 Buprenophine hydrochloride 9 Nicotine (Tobacco) 8 Amphetamine/ Speed 7 Benzodiazepine (e.g. Valium) 6 Ketamine 5 Alcohol 4 Methadone 3 Barbiturates 2 Cocaine/ Crack cocaine 1 Heroin For those who have seen this or read the report, what do you think of their rankings?

Open Question: Does Ohio Medicaid require a prescription to have nicotine gum covered?

I just became eligible for Ohio Medicaid (HMO I have is WellCare of Ohio). I am aware that Ohio Medicaid and WellCare cover nicotine gum and patches to stop smoking. I checked the website, and it looks like prior authorization is not needed. However, I need to know if a prescription is needed to have it covered by the insurance. My private insurance plan did not require a script, but I know Medicaid laws are more tightly wound. Does anyone know? Has anyone had Medicaid cover their smoking cessation products?

Okay, we'll call her Annie. When I decided to dedicate myself to God, she was all with me. She was saying how so many people think you can't have a strong relationship with God and she's was all Christian talk. I expected so much out of her. Then school started up again.

Open Question: Cigarettes give you a nicotine buzz?

Alright, I read the cigarette smokers smoke cigarettes because the nicotine gives them a buzz. Appearently the nicotine cause your body to release extra glucose and adrenaline into your blood, causing mood altering effects. Nicotine has also proven to be as dangerous and addictive, comparable to many illegal drugs. With that all of that well acknowledged, why are people okay and compliant with smoking, but harsh critics of drug use? Isn't cigarette smoking just a legal drug that is regularly abused? more

hey, i was just curious, is it possible to become addicted from smoking cigarettes without inhaling the smoke? By this i mean just holding the smoke in your mouth instead of pulling it into your lungs. Please its kind of a wierd question but i was just curious, thanks. more

Open Question: Illegal drugs = ironic? ?

If we think about the big picture, does the legality of a drug really determine it's safeness? (consider nicotine -- the world biggest killer). I feel (looking through history) that drugs were made illegal as, mainly, a result of industry. For example, marijuana being criminalized as it was one of the Mexican's main area profit, while alcohol remained (and still does) legal (due to the vast alcohol manufacturing in the United States). This said, is one really that crazy or irresponsible to use such drugs as marijuana, cocaine, heroine, etc. considering that the ones of the most harm are already legal? Taking my own beliefs into consideration, I personally want to try every drug at least one time, to try to break myself out of the shallow, society-created mind set that I have unfortunately acquired (like most). more

Open Question: Laughing but felt empty inside? Urgent Help there is a lot troubling me..!!!!?

Yesterday I played billiards with my friends and we have so much fun, cracking up jokes and teasing each other. But after I laugh so hard there will be a akward moment inside me and I begin to feel sad again after laughing. I dont feel Im in my real self. Am I depressed? Because I had my first panic attack last week and after experiencing that I stopped smoking because I feel Im not healthy anymore. Im in 5 days without smoke. I began having palpitations while lying in bed and feel nervous and having heavy breathing when thinking that "What if i'm going to die tommorow? What will happen to my dreams in life". My guess are: -Anxiety disorder -Depressed -Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms -Hyperthyroidism The hyperthyroidism thing is when we went to a family doctor and tell him how i feel he told me I might have hyperthyroidism because of his physical examination to me. And I still need to have a blood test to confirm it. But the problem is my family don't have enough money to spend for it and I really feel pity to myself because even my mom can't help me go to the doctor to check my health due to financial issues. I told her last night to bring me to the doctor and she told me "I will bring you to the doctor but we will don't have food for christmas" In a tone that she's trying to encourage me to forget about my health and don't give any problems that may cause any money spending issues. I feel so helpless. I feel that noche buena is more important than me. My only wish is to be in good condition again and finish my college. This is my last year in college and I think I can't perform well at school with this condition. That is why I stopped smoking to be in good health and perform tasks that is needed to be done. I'm 19 years old and really pathetic. Please help me and sorry for having this long pathetic story without connection to my question. But please Try to answer! Thanks a lot. Godbless. more

Open Question: Can anyone please help me with this chemistry research project?

I have to write a summary on this article assigned to me and I do not understand it at all :( Please any help. Here is the summary: Nuclear Meltdown and the Culture of Risk During the last twenty-five years the hydra-headed idea of risk-nuclear, industrial, health-, allergy-, and terrorist-related-has exerted a profound influence over the shape and direction of social scientific research. Informing academic debate and policy formation, it has modified collective perceptions of everyday life. Construction workers no longer expect to be allowed on site without protective clothing. Pedestrians no longer intuitively calculate that, whatever the law might suggest, reckless drivers hold the whip hand in ill-lit downtown streets. While highway accidents continue to kill and injure large numbers, those transgressing the traffic regulations now expect to receive punishments that more accurately reflect the full social meaning of dangerously irresponsible behavior. Progress remains painfully slow, particularly among the less-well-off members of the community, but public health educators now report marginally less depressing results in relation to campaigns targeting the obesity pandemic. Desperate to reduce the risk of premature death, an increasing proportion of Europeans and Americans now behave in ways that acknowledge some elementary connections between nutrition, exercise, and health, thereby pressuring corporations like McDonalds to modify their advertising and their menus; supersize meals have recently been declared a thing of the past. However, as the somewhat forced media rediscovery of Bhopal indicates, economically advanced nations continue to display minimal concern with the multiple risks that threaten, distort, and devastate life in the developing world. Failing to introduce Western-style health and safety regulations, corporations connive with lax factory inspectorates in nations dependent on massive inflows of foreign capital. In states like Namibia or Sudan, American and European obsession with risk can only seem a weird and expensive luxury. In AIDS-decimated sub-Saharan Africa, which-according to a recent UNICEF report-is now afflicted by the most devastating health crisis that the world has ever known, alcoholism, hard-drug and nicotine dependence, and fatal urban automobile accidents spiral uncontrollably upward. The deadly combination of Western corporate refusal to reduce the price of retroviral drugs and underfunded and misguidedly puritanical indigenous policies toward health care render the classic "risk" pandemic resistant to attempts at coordinated international control. In terms of diet, those fortunate enough to have enough to eat live a more healthy life than American and European populations addicted to the deadly pleasures of saturated animal fats. But this has more to do with climate, local agricultural regimes, and dietary and religious tradition than conscious avoidance of premature death. Preoccupation with risk has encouraged sociologists, environmental specialists, and historians to catalog, categorize, and differentiate between low-level dangers and sudden and uncontrollable mass technological disasters.1 Without minimizing the astonishingly high historic death rates attributable to railroad and automobile accidents, this rough-and-ready distinction highlights the potentially catastrophic implications of collapse or meltdown in large-scale, and particularly nuclear, installations. Following the pioneering work of Thomas Hughes, contemporary historians are now beginning to interrogate relationships between the social construction of large-scale technologies, cultural contexts, and systems failure.2 Specifying key components of postindustrialism and opening up the mid- and late twentieth century to controlled investigation, researchers are also creatively blurring the divide that has traditionally and unnecessarily separated the near-present from the past. Nevertheless, little attention has yet been given to specific examples of twentieth-century systems failure. Scholars concerned with the near-contemporary histories of technology, large-scale systems, and potential catastrophe will therefore wish to give the closest possible attention to J. Samuel Walker's Three Mile Island: A Nuclear Crisis in Historical Perspective, a meticulous, day-by-day reconstruction of that watershed event.3 Combining analysis of federal and corporate policymaking, oppositional politics, and cultural change, Walker interrogates the roles played by local politicians and troubleshooters, newspapers, television, radio, and think tanks. A measure of the book's effectiveness is that it renders Harrisburg of the early 1970s as eerily alien and dated as medieval York. Nevertheless, the conventional narrative, still present in shadowy form in Walker's thought-provoking study, tends to feature a semipanicked corporation watching, aghast, as dysfunction merges into impasse, and impasse into p more

Resolved Question: Why do they say stop smoking cold turkey?

My husband and I are planning to quit smoking after the holidays. We have heard that it is best to set a date, and go from there. I have read the many pamphlets and talked to doctors, so I know what "they" say to do, but I don't understand one thing. Why would they say quit cold turkey? Any type of drug that your body is addicted to needs to slowly be taken out of your system. If you stop suddenly, you are going to have withdrawals, which, from experience I can say are much worse than the thought of what will happen if I didn't quit. I don't understand. Is there something different between nicotine addiction and pain medicine addiction? I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I have cut back to a half of a pack. Next week, I am going to cut back to 5 cigarettes a day. I am hoping when the holidays are over, it will be easier for me to quit by doing this. What do you think? Will it hurt my success rate if I wean myself off of them or do they just say to stop cold turkey for another reason? I have had mutiple failed attempts at quitting, so I really want it to work this time. I was able to quit when I was pregnant for obvious reasons, but for some reason, I can't quit without that large of a motivation. Yeah, yeah, my life depends on it, but if you don't smoke, you don't understand that you feel like you are dying when you first try to quit. Like I said earlier, I would choose dying of lung cancer over the withdrawal symptoms. So, how do I make it easier on myself? more

Is it the actual smoke contacting the skin externally that causes the premature aging, or is it caused by the nicotine in the system, or both, and to what degree. I've recently stopped smoking, not for vanity, but for health reasons and, as a singer, for vocal reasons. I'm curious, though, what the nature of the damage is. I'm using smokeless tobacco to ween myself from nicotine, so I'd like to know whether to expect improvements in my skin while I'm dipping or if they will not appear until I'm free of nicotine.
