Actually, safe injection sites are lowering deaths from overdose. In a supervised site medical care can be given when one may have ODed if by themselves.
I wish my state allowed us to carry Naloxone without a script⊠my area has a problem with opioid use.
I like tomatoes and I like peppers.
I am not so sure I like this?
Hmmm.
Maybe as a root-stock to graft a variety of other tomato and pepper plants to â Sell em as âall in oneâ salsa plants. But spicy tomatoes??? idkâŠ
Iâd give them a try or force on friends.

âDoctor, could you please redo my insulin prescription? The one you gave me is wrong.â My patientâs frustration was obvious over the phone. She was standing at the pharmacy, unable to get her diabetes medication.
We had gone through this just the week before. Iâd prescribed her the insulin sheâd been on, at the correct dosage, but when she showed up at her pharmacy she learned that her insurance company no longer covered that brand. After a series of phone messages back and forth, Iâd redone the prescription with what Iâd thought was the correct insulin, but I was apparently wrong. Again.
Between 2002 and 2013, prices tripled for some insulins. Many cost around $300 a vial, without any viable generic alternative. Most patients use two or three vials a month, but others need the equivalent of four. Self-rationing has become common as patients struggle to keep up. In the short term, fluctuating blood sugar levels can lead to confusion, dehydration, coma, even death. In the long term, poorly controlled diabetes is associated with heart attacks, strokes, blindness, amputation and the need for dialysis.
The exorbitant prices confound patients and doctors alike since insulin is nearly a century old now. The pricing is all the more infuriating when one considers that the discoverers of insulin sold the patent for $1 each to ensure that the medication would be affordable. Today the three main manufacturers of insulin are facing a lawsuit accusing them of deceptive pricing schemes, but it could be years before this yields any changes.
Can you grow an insulin bush?
Fuck NYPD. I hope Google stands their ground and makes em take it to court.
anybody remember the CB radio era? Most of the chatter on there was the location of âsmokiesâ, the truckers used to pass the info up & down the interstate
I read that cops in some places are actually using Waze by setting up a visible cop car and then having a hidden trap a few miles later to catch people as they speed back up. Every few cars they move it down the road a little farther

Robert F. Kennedy Jr Explains How Big Pharma Completely Owns Congress
It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.â Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime Editor-in-Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ) (source)
