Question by danielesuzy: Any other way to get methadone legally besides a clinic ?!?!?
Hi. My boyfriend is a heroin addict. He snorts quite a lot of it everyday. He would really like to go on methadone,he thinks its the only thing that will work. Dont tell me how addictive it is please and dont judge. I have called around and was told he has to fail at other programs before he could be accepted into that one. I guess I understand where they are coming from to an extent but at the same time I feel its unfair. He should be able to give it a try. He has tried suboxone and has went to meetings . He has tried cold turkey. He has tried therapy. Nothing has worked so why do they need legal proof he will fail a detox?! Help please. Id like to get him help legally and inexpensively.

Question by me: How come nicotine is not a schedule I substance?
Nicotine meets all the criteria for being a schedule substance:
– The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
-The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
– There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

Why is it not a schedule I substance or a II-V substance?? Isn’t it the one of the most addictive substances…? Why is THC labeled as a hallucinogen?
4Get the THC stuff, I don’t know why I added it in.

Question by Sam: Drug abuse effects on my body?
Id just like to start saying i know i have a problem and i know what im doing is bad for me. Im not able to talk to a actual medical docter right now so i am looking for advice. im 16 And have been abusing pills for about 2 years now. i got out of “rehab” 4 months ago but took up my old ways pretty quickly. one thing ive done about three times now is a benedryl trip. ( i know its ridiculous but your hearing this from someone with a drug problem) ive taken about 25 to 30 each time. ive kinda had this realization of how stupid it was for me too do this because i could have easily died. Now im just worried if ive seriously injured my liver. when i was last in rehab they took bloodwork and said i was fine but im worried about the damage ive done since, more to my brain, heart and liver. do you think its important i go to a docter and get a thorough check done. I know it sunds pointless because i continue to do drugs, and i sound like a hipocrite im just kinda lost and not sure what i should do when it comes to what i have dne to my body, besides stopping, which trust me i am trying to do, its a battle and i have slip ups now and then.
please no hate, thats really not why i posted this.
