... in the brain, giving the same "high" and in medical research are used interchangeably. The only difference between cocaine and Ritalin is that cocaine leaves the receptor site quicker than Ritalin, possibly making it more addictive (Snyderman 1). Ritalin is not a drug that is typically sold on the street like cocaine or marijuana. It is a drug that doctors prescribe to help children and adults with hyperactivity and attention problems. But are these trained professionals over prescribing it? The road a child has to take to get on Ritalin is very long and often very hard.

... they have been living under a rock, the general public should have been exposed to enough information by this time when it comes to and addiction. Nicotine information is but a click away. Tobacco companies should no longer have the obligation to warn their customers, except if a new ingredient is added, in which case they should be notified. No one is saying get rid of the Surgeon General warnings, but enough is enough! If a person wants to smoke 3 packs of a day, then that is their choice; tobacco companies should not be held responsible. Let us examine the hype surrounding the supposed danger and addition of nicotine. The Food and Drug Administration tell ...

... people. Wrestling women and totally manhandling them caused several people to hate or dislike him. He saw how angry people got with him and continued to wrestle women and completely embarrass them. After defeating numerous women, he declared himself the “inter-gender wrestling champion,” which created major controversy in the wrestling industry. People had a very hard time telling whether he was being serious or not. Andy’s humor was like no other, and people had a hard time accepting it.

... their assumptions is that "pro-choice" does not mean "pro-death." Having to deal with an unintended pregnancy is possibly one of the most difficult challenges a woman has to face. Having a child is a huge financial burden on a woman as well as her family. Many women lack sexual education, such as which contraceptives are available to them, where to buy them, and how to pay for birth control, which can be very expensive.(Small steps are being made to help with the latter problem. Recently, Maryland became the first state to offer insurance coverage for contraceptives.1) These women who are uninformed about the family planning options open to them are generally ...

Since herbs do tend to be more dillute, it decreases the risk of the more serious side effects that come along with the stonger drugs. Antibiotics, as a drug, may do more to the body than just get rid of the bacteria or virus. That is why Ann Beemer, a Pierre, S.D., sophomore, said "she felt good about taking zinc and Echinacea tablets when she had a cold." She felt they were more gentle than over the counter medicines (Gullickson np). People that have experienced problems with over-the-counter drugs have turned to a safer ...
... moment that I am a shy girl named Mary. And lets say that I have a boyfriend named Joe. Joe and I have been together for quite a while and are beginning to be sexually active. In this scenario my alter ego, Mary, is in need of some condoms, but she would not feel comfortable asking her parents for help because they are devout Catholics and would obviously not be too pleased, nor understanding of her sexual activities. If Mary had a free condom distribution program in place at her school, then Mary might feel more comfortable receiving condoms from nurses and health officials at her school rather than her parents. That is why I believe that it would be extremely be ...
