Bath Salts Research Paper

When you think of the word "drug" what comes to mind? Probably marijuana, cocaine, lsd, prescriptions but what about bath salts? When I first heard stories about people on bath salts my reaction was you have to be kidding right, but no first popping onto the radar of the DEA and poison control in 2010, this product is causing quite a stir in the United States. Mark Ryan from the LA poison control says in an interview on the Dr. Oz television show "that he has never seen a drug that has caused the problem as quickly and severely as this". Making local and national headlines as the new designer drug that is completely legal, for now at least, and very dangerous. It doesn't stop people from purchasing it and snorting, ingesting, injecting

During 1984 through 1994, 10 years into The Crack Epidemic, the homicide rate of African American males aged 14-17 doubled. Along with an increase of African American children in foster care, fetal death rates and weapon arrests. Roles lost in families and the community. Health and lifestyle of the African American communities depleting due to the powerful affects of crack cocaine. The African American community has been significantly affected by The Crack Epidemic in the areas of health and culture as a result of where the source of crack cocaine introduced itself in America, laws surrounding crack cocaine and the perception of the drug.

Many people consider New Hanover County as a nice place to live. The website 10Best.com recently selected the waterfront in downtown Wilmington as the best American waterfront. However, all nice places have issues under the surface just like alligators living under the surface of the water in the Cape Fear River. The wicked problem facing New Hanover County is the opioid epidemic. Many communities across the United States share in this struggle. Over two million people become dependent on prescription pain pills and street opioids every year in the United States . Of those addicted, the deaths because of a heroin overdose have increased 533% between 2002 and 2016 in the United States. If the opioid crisis

In State v. Fischer, the majority emphasized that the “knowingly” element of possession must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but their holding essentially changes what that threshold is. Due to the need for uniformity among the states and federal government to effectively combat drug abuse at all levels of government, it is important to inquire into how much evidence other states require to infer the knowledge requirement of possession. Under nearly identical circumstances, other states require more evidence to meet the reasonable doubt standard in order to protect innocent people in third-party vehicles which contain drugs. The ruling in Fischer creates a strict liability standard for those who have no knowledge of drugs while riding in a vehicle and essentially eliminates the need for more evidence to create the inference. The circumstantial evidence was insufficient to link Fischer to the drugs and the court was left to speculated Fischer’s mens rea. Thus, Fischer goes against the legislative intent for uniformity and allows convictions based on mere conjecture.

Oklahoma meth abuse is a serious concern. In Oklahoma caucasian and American indian abusers are accounted for 97.6 percent of meth use. Meth is one of the most dangerous drugs in the world. In Oklahoma meth use has dramatically increased. Meth is the greatest drug threat in Oklahoma.Meth became the greatest drug threat in Oklahoma by Mexican criminal groups.

Unlike methadone, which is administered at a hospital, clinic or drug-rehab facility, Suboxone is a take-home prescription that is filled at a pharmacy. As such, it’s more prone to abuse. Today, Suboxone is one of the most common street drugs in Vermont, and is regularly used and abused in the state’s correctional system. …An 8-milligram dose, which costs $8 at a pharmacy and $10 to $15 on the street, sells for about $100 behind bars. In fact, a 2005 case study on Vermont by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported that “buprenorphine is widely available in the state’s correctional facilities,” though it’s unclear whether inmates use the drug more to get high or get clean.” I do understand that suboxone can be a great tool for treating drug addiction, but it can also be great for that guy on the street looking to get high. Furthermore, why would this drug be available to the members of the prison system if there was any potential of abuse? People who are incarcerated will withdraw. There is no need to allow them to replace their addiction with suboxone. Are inmates provided with methadone while in prison—No. The reason for this is because methadone is a highly controlled substance. What is wrong with Vermont?

CONRAD displayed signs and symptoms of drug impairment and was requested to submit to a series of psychophysical divided attention tests; some of which he was unable to successfully complete. An odor of burnt bath salts emitted from CONRAD'S vehicle and person. He was questioned on the odor of bath salts that I detected and he replied that he was wearing an orange and camouflage sweatshirt earlier when he went to a party at a friend's house. Once he decided to leave he couldn't find his sweatshirt so he just grabbed one. He said the shirt was probably inside the house for a while and they are always smoking bathsalts in there and that is why it smells like bathsalts so bad. CONRAD said "if anything would come back positive in my system it is because I was at my friend's house party and everyone was smoking

One obvious danger that these drugs have is their addictiveness. One illegal drug that is devastating Ohio and many other states right now is heroin. Heroin is in the opiate family, and is arguably the most addicting

Since the Rockefeller Drug Laws were passed in 1973 under Governor Nelson Rockefeller, New York State has had the harshest sentencing for low-level, non-violent drug offenders of any other state in the nation. Under these laws, those convicted of drug offenses face the same penalties as those convicted of murder, and harsher penalties that those convicted of rape. (Sullum, 1) Though the laws were first enacted to curb the late-1960s-early-1970s psychedelic drug epidemic, New York's drug problem in fact worsened in the 1980s with the use of stimulants, and thus the laws were reformed to be less lenient. These unforgiving laws, which place enormous minimum sentences for drug-sale convictions, prove to be ineffective and expensive and have

No; the State Legislature of Connecticut cannot pass a law banning Abrapharm. Abrapharm manufactures midazolam hydrochloride, which is regulated by the federal government under the Controlled Substance Act. This act places the regulation of the drug under the authority of the DEA not the State. The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution makes the federal act preempt the CT state law. Further, Abrapharm is the sole manufacturer and distributor of MH which is used extensively by various States. The banning of the company by CT will have a substantial impact on interstate commerce. Congressional regulation preempts the CT law because of this effect on interstate commerce. The Court of U.S. v. Lopez (1995) grants authority to congress to regulate commercial activities, commodities and channels that are economic in nature and have a substantial impact on interstate commerce. The banning of Abrapharm will affect the States who rely on its use in lethal
