Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

The detached cells are then transferred before culturing them in cell culture plate or flask. The first generation of producing cell through this method is called primary cell culture. The cells from the primary culture are transferred to a new culture plate with a fresh medium to ...

Symptomatic treatment or palliative treatment refers to therapies that relieve symptoms, without correcting the basic or underlying cause of the disease. Symptomatic treatment of pain normally aims at reducing the pain but not to eliminate the disease causing the pain (Eliopoulos, 2013). The society normally reinforces or promotes symptomatic treatment of pain rather than correction of the underlying problem through several ways. One is self-management, whereby patients do not seek professional help but rather attempt to manage pain on their own or with help of family and friends in order to prevent flare-ups (Eliopoulos, 2013). They can do so ...

Recently, the Canadian legislator changed the rule and advocated for euthanasia among the terminally ill patients. The law is unethical as most people do not identify with the effects of the law ...

It was in 1839 when England and China went to war. The British were upset because the Chinese authorities closed its drug trafficking racket and shut down the country’s dope.

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

The rise in imprisonment in America over the past years has risen at an alarming rate. The United States of America prison population has increased from about three hundred thousand inmates in the 1970’s to over one million inmates in recent years. Statistics show that America has the highest number of inmates in the world (Pfaff 173).The so-called “war on drugs ” which attracted long prison sentences has acted as a major factor contributing to the increase in the prison population (Golembeski 1702).

With regard to the question “should marijuana be legalized,” we conclude the answer is “yes.” This conclusion is made based on the economics of the issue. The existing system involves significant expense to local government with no appreciable result. Marijuana remains readily available virtually anywhere in the nation, decades of the war on drugs notwithstanding. That a demand for this product exists is undeniable. Continued criminalization will accomplish nothing beyond driving costs up marginally. The evidence is seen in the results. To continue to do the same thing and expect a different result is one classic ...

While there are many reasons why a young person might misuse drugs, the article focuses on “how the interplay of individual factors and social contact impact initiation of nonmedical prescription drug use” (Mui et al., 2013, p.2). More specifically, the authors of the article argues that the likelihood of a person misusing drugs depends on who introduces them to the drug in question as well as the environment they found themselves placed in (Mui et al., 2013). In this sense, the authors do not view drug abuse as an illness but as purposeful behavior for those found guilty of ...

Chromatography is a laboratory method or technique to separate various compounds such as inorganic or organic substances for further analysis, evaluation or testing (Chavan et al. 283).

It is also an important method due to its simplicity. One of the most important applications of chromatography is its use in forensic science or other types of investigation.

People will do anything for money, including committing crimes, and those crimes can end up leading them to jail or other criminal punishment. In Anthony’s Intervention episode, his addiction has a significant affect on all aspects of his ...

There is no question that health care costs are an important subject that is being discussed on national scale. Americans have watched as health care costs have increased over the last decade.

There was a time when nurses were not included in malpractice and negligence lawsuits, but that is no longer true. Today, nurses are included with doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers and agencies when the outcomes of patient treatments are undesirable. When a nurse is accused of failure to competently perform her or her responsibilities to the patient and employer, the result may be as serious as the death of the patient. For this reason, focus has centered on the types, incidences, and ways to prevent actions that cause patients harm and may result in expensive and license-threatening litigation ...

Music is the binding structure for the society as it mimics the standard beliefs of people. A community fond of listening to a certain music is likely to emulate the values portrayed by the lyricist. It is right to say that the creators of music play a fundamental role in instilling virtues and also vices to the society as a whole. Celebrities are universally recognized due to their works of art that they produce. Claiming that they have no influence is misguided and totally wrong. I believe that music has a significant role in escalating violence in individual towns ...

Moreover, taking into account the fact that every human being represents the human race, he or she has an undeniable claim upon medical aid.

Sanofi is a leading pharmaceutical company based in the United States. Having been in the drug production industry, it has over the years been rising and making sales globally through its transformative management they have employed in running of its affairs.

Once information is directed to a consumer, this makes them feel special as the company addresses them ...

Today, the mention of crime in the inner cities immediately whips up emotions regarding unlawful possession of guns by criminal gangs.

Discussion 2

I am strongly against of the legalization of illicit drugs in the United States. I believe that such global trend is the legalization of illicit drugs is contraindicated for our society. Unfortunately, the level of reflection, self-knowledge and self-control in our society is low, our people do not turn to the spiritual practice, so this recognition of drugs would be simply disastrous for the US people. The main advantages of legalizing drugs are the taxes obtained by legal sells. But even this advantage is contradictory. Legalization of marijuana in two US states - Colorado and Washington - has not ...

Analgesics and opioids have been widely used for the treatment and management of chronic pain in the healthcare sector.

Opioids have a history for substance abuse and the same appears to be a risk to cancer patients. Based ...

Merck and Its CSR

Facts River Blindness is a disease affecting people in some of the poorest countries in the world, in Africa and Latin America.

As Birzer and Robertson (2012) state, unlike motorcycle gangs, “the Mafia has an organizational and chain of command capable of supporting global-scale operations” (p. 318).

Furthermore, regarding the business organization, the members of the motorcycle gangs do get involved in the sale of individual dosage of drugs while the Mafia deals in wholesale drug sales (Birzer & Robertson, 2012).
