tell me about your drugs 08/18/2004 04:40 PM

New York retail prescription drug prices. New York [USA] has a state law requiring pharmacies to keep and provide a Drug Retail Price List for the 150 most commonly prescribed drugs. The NY State Attorney General's Office collects that information monthly and makes it searchable by zipcode, city or county. The stark comparisons show that even within one region, retail drug prices can vary by as much as $120, or 50%. With five million New Yorkers uninsured and having to buy their medications at retail prices, this is a handy new tool.

Sports and the War on (Some) Drugs


Sports and the War on (Some) Drugs 05/27/2004 09:35 AM

In this remarkable story, the Mercury News shows how laboratories helped turn athletes into record-beaters. It's more fuel on the fire in a movement to keep athletes from using performance-enhancing drugs of any kind. The whole scandal reeks of hypocrisy, at every level. Sports is big money, and people will do just about anything to get some of it. The public doesn't really care about athletes who do outrageous things to build their bodies; if the public really cared then the average lineman in pro football wouldn't weigh more than 300 pounds. We want our entertainment. We will get it. The sports establishment -- the franchise owners and the leaders of national and international associations -- are worse. They're hungry for power and television fees, and not much else. The war on (some) drugs has always been the most hypocritical of all. I use a performance-enhancing drug every morning. It's called caffeine, and it's in my coffee. Uh, oh, call the morality police, right? Too much caffeine, like too much steroids, could do severe harm. Yet somehow I'm able to moderate my intake. I'm in the middle of a fascinating short book just published by the Independent Institute, a right-to-libertarian think tank. It's called "Drug War Crimes: The Consequences of Prohibition" -- and it's an indictment of the war itself. I'll tell you more about the book in a follow-up posting soon, but the bottom line is that the negative costs of the drug war are undoubtedly higher than we'd pay if we did the smart thing and legalized drugs and treated abusers for health problems, not as criminals.

ScriptCenter: ATM for Drugs


ScriptCenter: ATM for Drugs 06/24/2005 04:01 PM

scriptcenter.jpgNew ATM-like prescription machines are being rolled out in California and Virginia, where new changes in states' laws allow medicines to be dispensed without a pharmacist. This new machine, called the 'ScriptCenter,' has been installed at a Longs Drug in Del Mar, California, and coughs up as much Furosemide and Metformin as your pharmacist has loaded into it. That's the thing—it's not like there's a robot in there with a mortar and pestle. Instead, you call your orders in like normal, and the techs load the machine up with your drugs, which you unlock with a secret code and pay for with a credit card. That means you can pick up your prescriptions any time you want, not just when the pharmacy is open.

DE A wants to reclassify low grade painkillers as morphine equivilants. The DEA, in all it's wisdom, has decided that the next target on the "war on drugs" is hydrocodone, the most commonly used prescription pain killer in the country. "Ah," you say..."but surely there's congressional oversight for that sort of radical change in the Drug Schedule." But you'd be wrong. Funny old world when the budget and staff keeping getting bigger and bigger and the only way they can win a battle is to chase the arthritic.

The War On Drugs In The Classroom


The War On Drugs In The Classroom 11/10/2003 11:30 PM
The video shows police officers and K-9 units ordering suspects to the ground while they conducted a sweep. A tip had come in about clandestine drug activity, and in previous weeks one youth had been caught trying to distribute hundreds of prescription drug pills. During the sweep, police detained 107 underage suspects while they searched their backpacks. Police found no drugs, and were only able to report that some 12 backpacks had been singled out by the police dogs. Now if you were thinking this was a typical rave-turned-police bust, you're wrong. This was just before first period at Stratford High School in the sleepy Charlotte suburb of Goose Creek, South Carolina.

R ep. Kirk (R), states, that Washington now must fuse counterterrorism and counternarcotics into an inseparable mission. It seemed almost inevitable, but could this indicate use of broad (possibly unconstitutional) anti-terrorism legislation for prosecuting drug users? With Britain downgrading marijuana, and much of the Western world softening on drug use, it seems that the United States won't give up. In fact, they even have Wal-Mart in on the action.

  • Reason: Pill Sham. Here's a bit of legal information that may interest Rush Limbaugh: Under Florida law, illegally obtaining more than 28 grams of painkillers containing the narcotic oxycodone—a threshold exceeded by a single 60-pill Percocet prescription—automatically makes you the worst sort of drug trafficker, even if you never sold a single pill. Even if, like Richard Paey, you were using the drugs to relieve severe chronic pain.

    Thank heaven for good drugs


    Thank heaven for good drugs 09/04/2004 06:36 AM

    Bill Clinton called into the special Larry King roundup on his bypass surgery. He sounded great. Of course I projected my own experience onto his. I sounded great too, at that point in the process. They're pumping relaxing drugs into your system. I don't think you could feel anxious, no matter what. Good drugs.

    It didn't really come home what was going to happen until the guy came in to shave my chest the morning of the surgery. He didn't stop there. Basically every single square inch of my body was shaved, except for the top of my head. I tried to make light conversation, but my mind was on what was about to happen.

    Before they carted me away I had to go into the lavatory and wash everything I could reach. That's when I fell apart. Sobbing, crying, wanting to get out of there. I looked at my chest and realized this was the last time I was going to see it. I had a pretty good idea of what they do in bypass surgery, and I had a visual image there and then of my vital organs coming out through a big hole there. I collapsed, got up and put myself in the rolling bed they had brought in, and let them roll me into the surgery part of the heart clinic.

    Somewhere along the line they must have hooked up something intravenously, because while I was waiting in the corridor for someone to come get me, I got really high. Cracking jokes, and sort of observing all the preparations for the surgery. I'm not sure if I was actually in the operating room, but let me tell you, I sure didn't mind. Next thing I knew I was crawling my way through some weird weird ideas into a strange reality, the recovery room. There was an attendent there, reading a magazine, giving me ice cubes to suck on (I was really thirsty) and giving me more opiates to keep me from freaking out. When morning came (24 hours since the beginning of the surgery) they brought me breakfast, and made me get out of bed to eat it. I did.

    They don't let you lie in bed for any long period after the surgery, if they did you'd get even sicker, gotta get moving asap. The amazing thing is that your body can do it. I remember the first walks I took around the cardiac ward were the most gratifying of my life. But I wasn't out of the emotional hole yet. Maybe I'll write more about that after Bill Clinton has his surgery.

    Yesterday he cracked a great joke, "Like the Republicans, I want four more years." Here's lookin at you kid. Murphy-willing, knock wood, I am not a doctor (or a Republican), it should be a lot more than four more years.
