Increasing neurogenesis might prevent drug addiction and relapse

Researchers hope they have begun paving a new pathway in the fight against drug dependence. Their hypothesis — that increasing the normally occurring process of making nerve cells might prevent addiction — is based on a rodent study demonstrating that blocking new growth of specific brain nerve cells increases vulnerability for cocaine addiction and relapse.

Voting Question: Can you help me find the youtube video I’m looking for?

The video I’m looking for was a video probably made more than 3 years ago. It was on youtube and it was about a couple somewhere in Europe who have a drug addiction. All I remember is that this girl liked dolls or something and the boyfriend had blonde or red short hair. I remember one scene where she is forced to give a blowjob for 50$ to support their drug habits. They also shoplift items to keep a living. I think the drug was either heroin or cocaine, something like that. I really hope someone out there knows the video I’m talking about. It was also 10 to 15 minutes I think long. It was a short film so to speak.

What is your opinion here Almighty Latin King & Queen Nation Gunning down people in our streets and distributing illegal drugs throughout our communities ?WASHINGTON, Feb 24, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ —- The leader of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation (ALKQN) in Texas and one of his enforcers were found guilty this afternoon on multiple charges related to their participation in a large scale narcotics and firearms trafficking conspiracy, announced Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division Lanny A. Breuer and U.S. Attorney James T. Jacks of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas. Specifically, the two men were found guilty for their roles in the May 4, 2008, murders of a pregnant female and another bystander.

“Gunning down people in our streets and distributing illegal drugs throughout our communities, these gangs spread violence and addiction wherever they go,” said Assistant Attorney General Breuer. “We will not allow their repugnant acts to go unpunished. Today, a jury of Texas citizens sent a message loud and clear to would-be gang members — we can and we will hold you accountable for your crimes.”

“For more than a week, this jury listened to testimony concerning the movement of a large amount of drugs and guns throughout the state of Texas by members of the Latin Kings criminal organization,” said James T. Jacks, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas. “Not only did this gang pollute the streets of Texas with dangerous drugs, as a result of their heinous actions, two adults, one of whom was pregnant, were brutally murdered with an assault rifle. We are proud that we, along with the hard-working members of the agencies that contributed to this investigation, have brought civilized justice to otherwise uncivilized gang wars. This office is proud to have assisted the Department of Justice’s Gang Unit in the successful prosecution of these criminals.”

Jose Robledo Nava, aka “Chino,” 31, of Lubbock, Texas, and James Johnathan Cole, aka “Blitz,” 19, of Lamesa, Texas, were each found guilty by a federal jury in Lubbock on two counts of using a firearm to commit murder during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime, and one count of a conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine and 100 kilograms or more of marijuana. The jury also found Nava guilty on one count of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, one count of conspiracy to engage in the business of dealing in firearms and one count of possession of stolen firearms.

Do recreational drugs make us fail to remember?

Have you ever forgotten to post an important letter or let an appointment slip your mind? A new study from UK researchers suggests that for those who regularly use ecstasy or other recreational drugs, this kind of memory lapse is more common. Their research uncovered potential links between memory deficits and cocaine for the first time. Continue reading

Voting Question: can I find a girlfriend being shy?

i’m a 23 year old college student. I started taking zoloft to reduce my social anxiety and help me out with finding a girlfriend. I’m having bad side effects, and don’t know if it is worth having my shyness go away with medication. I only had one girlfriend on and off three years in my life. I later found out she was a prostitute on criagslist, and a drug dealer who had cocaine addiction. She took advantage of me. I never had sex with her because I was too shy.

i’m told by many girls that I’m hot, and attractive in terms of looks. I’m a wealthy small business owner. I’m also muscular and fit.I’m really shy, and appear socially akward, and have a hard time getting intimate with girls. Despite, all these good traits I have, I am not able to find a girlfriend. I feel lonely, and sometimes feel that there is no hope.

How can a shy guy like me get a girlfriend?
ps: i’m a small business owner and college student.

Voting Question: Have taken Adderall off and on for 8 months. want prescription have an appointment. truth or lie to doctor?

I have been taking adderall off and on for 8 months. at one point i dosed everyday for 2 months straight. i have a drug history that if explained to a doctor the assumption would over shadow the logic in why i think i need ADD meds. im 27 years old and my first experience with narcotics started with Phenobarbital at age 7 for epilepsy. i started experimenting with illegal narcotics at age 16 and started with pot and alcohol then moved on to hallucinogens in which i loved dearly but price, availability and quality put a stop to recreational use. so when i could get i dosed heavily and alone to intensify the trips. then i was introduced to cocaine and at first was amazed by the fact that i split a quarter ounce(low quality) with someone in about an hour and went in the house as soon as the last line was gone and went straight to sleep.

i felt it was over rated and didn’t have a problem for a few years until i came across a large amount and used daily. although i hate most of the effects i did do a dive bomb into cocaine hell for about a year. a year before i used close to an amount that could be considered recreational it didn’t grab a hold of me till i attempted college(and failed) and used daily to not only motivate myself but help with social anxiety. things were great for about 3 months and catastrophic event in my life caused me to go down junkie lane.

i injected almost pure coke for 6 months straight and would intentionally overdose to see how far past the “lethal dose” i could go past. i smoked crack when i couldn’t get the pure coke and was mentally lost without “my shot”. i lost everyone and everything and when tried to shoot a gram of pure to kill myself and somehow came out of it alive and with a ferocious will to live. i never injected again after that and weened myself off the needle by smoking and snorting until i was coke free.

i came out of cocaine hell with a strong will and i took ahold of my life and started the climb back into society. that was 2-3 years ago and since i have been a completely different person. i used to be a very negative, depressed, pessimistic person and now i am the complete opposite.

i was diagnosed with multiple(like 10) mental disorders as a child. ADD was not one but depressive, bi-polar, schizo, and many others were. i feel that when i kicked my addiction i somehow beat my mental disorders in the process. i used to be tormented by intruding thoughts and tendancys of violence, hate, rage, paranoia, suicide, ect. i kicked the drug and all these things that haunted me my whole life.

i have been happy ever since but i have always felt like i burned out considering the many years of aggravated drug use and self destructive behavior. all mental disorders seem to have left me but something else that has haunted me my whole life didn’t go away. im riddled with sleep disorders.

i tried perscription pain pills to help but eventually developed to a high tolerance and my first withdrawal from opiates. i always experimented and often binged for sometimes months on pain pills but as soon as i got dope sick i dropped them like a cigarette butt.

my first experience with adderall i fell in love. i abused them for some time by overdosing and snorting. i took as much as 300mg in one 24 hour period. i hated the way i felt afterwards and i naturally lowered the dose to that equivalent to a dose prescribed by a doctor(60-70mg). by naturally i mean i have no interest in exceeding 2-3 pills per day.

the results are unbelievable. ive completely changed my life since i started using adderall. i am social like i always wanted to be, im motivated and have the new ability to finish projects i start which is something that eluded me prior to exposure. ive put in fukn furnaces for the last 10 years and im damn good at it but never what i wanted to do with my life so now i am training for IT certifications and preparing to return to college and actually finish this time. ive finally took the initiative to have a relationship with my daughter who is 9 now and i barely know because of a mental block i overcame. im confident and quick whited, cool and collect, positive and productive, social and stress free.

it cures my daytime sleepiness and when i want to goto sleep then i sleep. and i wake up rested and motivated. im more organized, productive, social, and am ready to finally be a part of society instead of a stain on the underbelly.

im even following a long time dream of playing music while i study for certification. the pills produce positive results and the results remain but the days i dont have i notice the sluggish. absent minded, unmotivated, procrastinating person i always was.

its really like a miracle drug. i hear they make a patch which i would be fine in taking to assure the prescribing doctor that i dont have any intention in abusing the medication. id like to try a array of different ADD meds and dosages to
