Adequate age for using cannabis
What would you tell someone 15-22 who came to see you and said they were thinking about using cannabis? “Everyone says it’s great fun and safer than drinking. Enlightened governments are legalizing it around the world. Some of my friends do it and they are still getting good grades.” What would you tell this fictional, curious, would be cannabis consumer? My understanding of your opinion of psychedelics is to take them infrequently and integrate the experience into your life before dropping again. Do you think the same applies to mota? For over fifty years we...

As a MD, have you ever heard of anything like this? Lets say you drink a lot, and quit, and want to cleanse your liver and detox it and help it regrow. Is this even legit?

Can I replace ghb instead of alcohol ? GHB and alcohol are relatively similar in effects and risks. Both can lead to dependence with daily use and both can be very toxic in overdose. Alcohol is easier to handle for most people and accidents on overdose are less common. On the other hand, GHB is probably less toxic for liver and brain than alcohol. You can replace GHB instead of alcohol, but it is always important to take precautions...
Read MoreAlcohol withdrawal
Is it possible to get physical withdrawals from having a 2 glasses of wine (11-12%) every nite for over 18 months? In a technique, strict way, daily intake of 2 glasses of wine is equivalent to 2-3 units of alcohol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_alcohol) Daily intake below 4 units of alcohol in men, and below 2 units in women is considered “low risk”. But these are theoretical considerations. Most people will not develop physical withdrawals from this pattern of use but there are also psychological, behavioural, social and motivational aspects. It is...
