However, ingesting poppy seeds can result in testing positive on a drug-screening urinalysis.

When I was in the Navy, including my time in the Reserves, I avoided eating anything with poppy seeds on it. I never knew when I would get a random screening for drugs, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

Drinking cough syrup will also make you blow a high BAC too on breath analyzers.

Done that once. Had to do the line test to prove that I didn't drink any alcohol.

I don't use cough syrups (might make me drowsy) or mouth washes (too drying in my mouth) that include alcohol.

But is it possible that Salvia div. could be used as a rape drug?
Click to expand...

considering that it lasts only few minutes and you CANNOT slip it into a drink, no. Not possible.

Ambien, despite being legal for most popular prescription sleeping pills, is considered one of the best rape drugs because it induces amnesia and they often have no recall of what's happening.
 
A few to several minutes are all you need and the person wouldn't remember. I wouldn't discount the possibility at all.
 
The most popular date rape drug is legal in all 50 states. It is called....alcohol. Providing sexual opportunity for the socially challanged since the Neolithic period (10,000 B.C.)
 
Coca leaves, where cocaine is extracted from, are not shown to be addictive if taken in whole leaves. Many farmers chewed them for energy, just like we do with caffeine. When farmers lost coca leaves, they showed no evidence of withdrawal symptoms or addictions.

It's the purified cocaine that causes addiction.

Facts & Statistics Children & Adults Against Drugging America

The war on drugs = protecting children (what a few members here in the legal drug trade casually refer to jokingly as a "non-issue")

Is America overmedicated? Is the FDA more interested in Americans' health, safety, & well being or the billions of dollars it receives annually from the pharmaceutical companies to approve new drugs & keep current drugs on the market? Please read the following list of disturbing facts & statistics & decide for yourself.

* Based on a 2002 survey, 46% of Americans use at least one prescription drug daily.
* Total number of prescriptions filled in 2001: 3.1 billion
* Total cost of prescriptions in 2001: $132 billion
* Projected cost of prescriptions in 2014: $414 billion
* Percentage of incoming undergraduates using psychotropic, mind-altering drugs: 40%
* From 1992 - 2003, the abuse of psychotropic drugs grew at twice the rate of marijuana abuse; five times that of cocaine abuse; & 60 times that of heroin abuse.
* 20% of recently approved prescription drugs have serious, life threatening side effects.
* 90% of authors of clinical practice guidelines received research funding from, or acted as consultants to drug companies.
* Medical doctors, psychiatrists, & all those licensed by the government who can "legally" prescribe drugs are paid huge monetary incentives by the pharmaceutical industry to write prescriptions of their drugs.

Those doctors & other professionals who choose financial incentives over a patients well being & health should be defined as "legal drug pushers" contributing to the overmedicating of America for profit.



* Percentage increase from 1985 - 1999 in stimulant psychotropic drugs prescribed to children: 327%
* Percentage increase from 1991 - 2000 in stimulant psychotropic drugs prescribed to preschoolers between 2 & 4 years of age: 50%
* The number of antidepressants prescribed annually for children under 19: 11 million
* The number of children diagnosed with "ADD/ADHD" & drugged in 1985: 500,000
* The number of children diagnosed with "ADD/ADHD" & drugged today: approximately 6 million
* CHADD (Children and Adults with ADD) received over $700,000 in 2001 from pharmaceutical companies to promote & market their drugs.
* CHADD refers to the 1999 Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health when citing ADHD as a neurobiological disorder, yet the Surgeon General's report, the DSM-IV, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guideline for ADHD, do not confirm or state that ADHD is a "neurobiological" disorder. In fact, the Surgeon General provided no conclusive evidence to support this theory—a fact CHADD neglects to mention on its website.
* The epidemic use of psychotropic drugs started many years ago. In 1965, approximately 58 million new prescriptions & 108 million refills were written for psychotropic drugs. This accounted for 14% of all prescriptions written that year.
* Percentage of Americans taking anti-allergy medications who may not even have allergies: 65%
* The number of signs advertising the drug Claritin in Newark International Airport lobbies: 75
* The amount spent by Merck Pharmaceutical to advertise the drug Vioxx in 2001: $161 million
* The total number of advertising violations issued by the FDA for misleading drug ads from 1997 - 2001: 88; Amount of fines levied for such violations: $0
* US direct-to-consumer drug ad spending soared to $2.49 billion in 2001 up from $859 million in 1997.
* Number of Americans annually who request & receive a prescription for a specific drug after seeing a commercial for it: 8.5 million
* Estimated prescriptions of Paxil in 2002: 37 million
* Amount spent on lobbying by pharmaceutical companies from 1996 - 2002: $500 million
* The number of former congressmen now serving as lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry: 24
* The approximate total number of lobbyists: 600; Their average annual income: $300,000 - $400,000
* The amount of direct contributions from the drug industry to the 2002 political campaign: $20 million; Percentage that went to Republicans: 75%
* Seven drugs recalled by the FDA between 1993 & 2000 after reports of death & severe side effects exceeded $5 billion in sales before being withdrawn.
* The major stockholders of the pharmaceutical industry: FDA workers, FTC workers, Congressmen, & the CEO's of the pharmaceutical companies.
* The Annual cost of prescription drug errors: $100 billion
* A natural herbal cure was found for diabetes. The amount paid to the person that discovered it to not market or announce the cure: $30 million
* Out of the last 20 FDA commissioners, upon leaving the FDA, the number who went to work directly for the pharmaceutical industry: 12
* The approximate number of Americans that die annually from FDA approved drugs: 125,000
* The approximate number of Americans that die annually from Aspirin use: 2,000
* The percentage of FDA workers who are paid directly through funding from the pharmaceutical industry: 55% at an average of $1.2 billion annually
* The FDA passed a law stating that only a "drug" can cure a disease therefore; farms, orchards, or any company promoting fruit as beneficial to your health were threatened with violations & the confiscation & destruction of their products. Their "cherries" for example were not approved as a new drug by the FDA & were not declared as "safe & effective". The average cost to get a "new drug" approved: $800 million. Sound unbelievable? Actual FDA letter sent to a farm marketing cherries as a natural remedy.
* In 2004 approximately 12,000 Texas Foster Children each received 21 prescriptions of psychotropic drugs totally more than $29 million.
* According to a recent study, up to 20% of all prescriptions written are for "off-label" use not approved by the FDA & with no support from scientific studies.
* According to a recent study, 96% of all "off-label" psychiatric drug prescriptions lacked scientific support.
* 25% of 239 patients consuming Vioxx had heart attacks within the first 13 days of being on the drug. Vioxx was pulled from the market on September 30th, 2004.
* The amount of money the pharmaceutical industry & the FDA would loose if Americans turned to natural cures (vitamins, minerals, herbs, fruit, etc.) instead of prescription drugs: trillions!

I was playing the "word game" long enough for a specific person whom practices in the field "mental health" to not only state I was paranoid for believing facts, but the war on drugs is futile so drugs should be legal .....

Now that I know that person's view and stance on this issue ... I believe the above FACTS will be considered "paranoid delusions" to the person authorized to label people as such.

How convenient ...

"They made a list of the most common symptoms of emotional discomfiture of children; those which bother teachers and parents most, and in a stroke that could not be more devoid of science or Hippocratic motive--termed them a 'disease.' Twenty five years of research, not deserving of the term 'research.,' has failed to validate ADD/ADHD as a disease. Tragically--the "epidemic" having grown from 500 thousand in 1985 to between 5 and 7 million today--this remains the state of the 'science' of ADHD."

You caught me there. Should had looked it up to see if I had the right references (16th/17th century Spaniard documents) in mind. My apologies.

Interestingly enough.. a lot of tea, soda and energy drink companies use coca leaves even nowadays. O.o

If it wasn't for cocaine and the war on drugs, we would propbably have better access to the benefits of coca leaves and more sane products. :(

Also, it's just to take a stroll in the forest and get as high one want. Plants, mushrooms, roots, animals, they all are full of it.
 
Salvia is legal to buy, sell and possess in New Zealand. As for Australia Salvia is illegal.

Misleading statistics. What caught my eyes was that one:

"25% of 239 patients consuming Vioxx had heart attacks within the first 13 days of being on the drug. Vioxx was pulled from the market on September 30th, 2004."

That is flatly not true because if it was true, Vioxx would have never made it through. Here's what the real problem is... studies find that people who take recommended doses aren't at a significant risk of heart attacks, it's when they doubled the dose that they are twice more likely to have heart attacks. 25mg of Vioxx, placebo, and other NSAIDS saw no increased risk while 50mg saw a significant risk.

"The number of heart disease events (heart attack, coronary heart disease death) in people on other NSAIDS, no NSAIDS or 25 mg of rofecoxib was about 12 in 1,000 per year. In people taking 50 mg of rofecoxib the number was 21 in 1,000."

Vioxx linked to heart disease (10/11/02)

And the looney site said:

"A natural herbal cure was found for diabetes. The amount paid to the person that discovered it to not market or announce the cure: $30 million"

LOL! It's hilarious! Cite? Evidence? :)

"The approximate number of Americans that die annually from FDA approved drugs: 125,000"

Sure but that is misleading - if we don't treat them with drugs, over 500,000 would die a year. No drug is without side effects.
