Medical Marijuana
Medical marijuana helped cancer patient improve
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Fri, January, 27th 2012 by THCFinder
I don't understand why New Jersey doesn't look at states with successful medical marijuana programs for help with initiating the programs here.
Oregon is one such state. My sister lives in Oregon, and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma last spring. Her appetite diminished to nothing. She lost 60 pounds and was in danger of dying, not from her cancer but from malnutrition.
Medical marijuana helped her regain some appetite. As she grew stronger, her cancer went into remission. She was able to tolerate treatments and use less pain medication.
Marinol, the synthetic form of marijuana, did not work for her. My sister is 69, not a pot-smoking junkie as portrayed in the movies of earlier times that convinced many — obviously our governor is one — of the evils of marijuana.
Marijuana deserves its place in the pharmacology for treatment to patients who need it. In order for them to get it, someone must be allowed to grow and sell it.
Shame on our federal government for not stepping in and making this happen. Shame on our state for pretending to be helping while throwing up roadblocks.
Support the growth and sale, and hope you and yours never need it.
Patient Advocates File Appeal Brief In Federal Case To Reclassify Medical Marijuana with the DEA
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Thu, January, 26th 2012 by THCFinder
Washington, DC --(ENEWSPF)--January 26, 2012. The country's leading medical marijuana advocacy group, Americans for Safe Access (ASA), filed an appeal brief today in the D.C. Circuit to compel the federal government to reclassify marijuana for medical use. In July 2011, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) denied a petition filed in 2002 by the Coalition for Rescheduling Cannabis (CRC), which was denied only after the coalition sued the government for unreasonable delay. The ASA brief filed today is an appeal of the CRC rescheduling denial.
"By ignoring the wealth of scientific evidence that clearly shows the therapeutic value of marijuana, the Obama Administration is playing politics at the expense of sick and dying Americans," said ASA Chief Counsel Joe Elford, who filed the appeal today. "For the first time in more than 15 years we will be able to present evidence in court to challenge the government's flawed position on medical marijuana." Although two other rescheduling petitions have been filed since the establishment of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, the merits of medical efficacy was reviewed only once by the courts in 1994.
The ASA appeal brief asserts that the federal government acted arbitrarily and capriciously in its efforts to deny marijuana to millions of patients throughout the United States. ASA argues in the brief that the DEA has no "license to apply different criteria to marijuana than to other drugs, ignore critical scientific data, misrepresent social science research, or rely upon unsubstantiated assumptions, as the DEA has done in this case." ASA is urging the court to "require the DEA to analyze the scientific data evenhandedly," and order "a hearing and findings based on the scientific record."
Patient advocates argue that by failing to reclassify marijuana, the federal government has stifled meaningful research into a wide array of therapeutic uses, such as pain relief, appetite stimulation, nausea suppression, and spasticity control among many other benefits. In 1988, the government ignored the ruling of its own Administrative Law Judge Francis Young who said that, "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man."
Kansans Call For Legalization Of Medical Marijuana
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Wed, January, 25th 2012 by THCFinder
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - "Support safe medicine," the signs said. "We would like safe access to medical marijuana," Esau Freeman shouted.
"Oh I'm very upset," Freeman said. "I feel like these legislators are being obstructionists, they're dragging their feet," he said.
Freeman, a member of MedCanKan.org, was just one of about 20 activists in a small, but passionate crowd gathered at 914 SW Harrison Street to support legalizing marijuana for medicinal use.
The rally was organized by the Kannabis Project, a political action committee "to reform cannabis laws in Kansas" - just ahead of an hearing on the issue inside the Docking State Office Building.
The Cannabis Compassion and Care Act, or HB 2330 received an informational hearing Tuesday in the House Health and Human Services Committee - after it languished in the House for a year.
Time, organizers say, could mean life or death for a patient.
"My mother developed terrible psoriasis and arthritis, and I encouraged her to use it," he said, referring to cannabis . "And she felt like the law was the law, and she didn't use it and she was prescribed FDA-approved drugs - which actually killed her," he said.
HB 2330, introduced by Rep. Gayle Finney of Wichita, would legalize marijuana use for patients with certain debilitating medical conditions, served by designated care centers.
Advocates say cannabis reduces pain, moderates nausea and increases appetite among people suffering from cancer, aids, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis c and other maladies.
But the measure has made little headway since Finney introduced it last year.
Committee chairwoman Brenda Landwehr had walked out of a hearing on a similar bill two years ago.
"We'd like for [the committee] to actually have a real hearing, listen to this honest and fair debate about it, have a discussion about it. And then get this bill out of the committee and move it to the floor," she said.
Opponents of medical marijuana say that's the wrong place to decide on a medical issue.
"Marijuana is not a medicine," Dr. Eric Voth, an addiction specialist at Stormont-Vail Healthcare, said. "It's very impure, it's very unreliable. And to vote to make something a medicine, bypasses the FDA and it creates something by popular vote," he said.
"And that is a very serious thing we should not embrace." Voth also serves as chairman of the Institute on Global Drug Policy.
Freeman says that though medical marijuana doesn't cure, his mother would have avoided the drug that killed her.
"I think that if she hadn't taken that risk with an FDA-approved medicine, she'd still be here today to play with my daughter," he said.
California Supreme Court to rule on medical marijuana tiff
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Mon, January, 23rd 2012 by THCFinder
The issue of whether cities and counties in the state of California can ban medical marijuana stores - as some have done - will be reviewed by the California Supreme Court. But don't hold your breath as the ruling is as long as 2 years down the road.
The state's supreme court held closed door sessions last week and made the decision they would review rulings made by lower appeals California courts. This makes lower court decisions that have gone against medical marijuana stores are now put on hold until such time as the Supreme Court makes a ruling.
The chief counsel for a medical marijuana advocacy group called 'Americans for Safe Access', Joe Elford, told media after the Supreme Court decision that patients have been harmed by the lower court decisions and he applauded the higher courts decisions to review them.
"These cases were very problematic for patients and their ability to safely and legally access a medication that works for them," Elford said. "We're very pleased that local governments will now be unable to use appellate court decisions to deny patients access to medical marijuana in their own communities."
Supreme Court to look at two marijuana issues:
The court said there are two issues they will review. There have been rulings in California in which cities and counties have ruled against medical marijuana stores and sought to shut them down. For example, in L.A. due to lower court rulings the city was planning to bar all medical marijuana dispensaries.
The Supreme Court will also look at the state and Federal government remaining at loggerheads, with state law allowing medical marijuana dispensaries, and federal saying marijuana is not legal, period. The state legalized medical marijuana in 1996, the first state in the U.S. to do so.
There are now 16 states and DC in which the use of marijuana is permitted with the recommendation of a doctor, the latest state to join the list is Delaware last year. Medical marijuana is also legal in Canada and other countries.
No timeline for the review as yet been announced.
Medical Marijuana Reduces Traffic Deaths
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Thu, January, 19th 2012 by THCFinder
Legalizing marijuana for medical purposes can mean fewer drunk drivers on the road, and fewer traffic deaths, according to a new study.
Researchers from universities in Colorado, Oregon and Montana reviewed accident statistics from 1990 to 2009, including those states that had adopted medicinal marijuana laws and those that hadn't. To date, 16 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana.
States where marijuana can be purchased legally with a prescription experienced 9% fewer traffic fatalities, "most likely as a result of its impact on alcohol consumption by young adults," the researchers wrote in their report. They cite data from the Beer Institute that beer sales fall after medical marijuana laws take effect.
In other words, medical marijuana is allowing some young people easier opportunities to get high instead of drunk, thus lowering the risk of DUIs and accidents, supporters of legalization contend. The researchers posit several explanations for the reduced death rate. For one thing, driver simulation tests show that drivers under the influence of alcohol have less control than those under the influence of marijuana. Also, because marijuana is more likely to be smoked in private, whereas alcohol is consumed in bars and restaurants, marijuana users are more likely to choose a designated driver.

Medical Marijuana: the Best and Safest Pain Killer Compared to Oxycontin and more
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Wed, January, 18th 2012 by THCFinder
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
I had 5,000 or so patients with 70% complaining of severe pain, who found relief with Mairjuana.
Marijuana treats pain and has never caused a death...
(PORTLAND, Ore.) - I presume that a few people will disagree with my thesis. I will admit to a few exceptions and I will address them later.
For my own review, I pulled up the standard doses of the opiates, (from opium) and the opioids, not from opium but totally synthetic. I'm going to dismiss Codeine, an opiate which is lightly used any more in doses from 15 to 120mg but which is severely constipating and has many other intolerable side effects.
I will base my discussion on Morphine which is the standard pain killer with a usual dose of 10mg sometimes lower. The big "daddies" are Hydrocodone dose of about 20mg but soon to be long acting at about 40mg per dose; Oxycodone dose is about 15mg but has a long acting dose from around 40mg; Heroin dose is around 4.0mg but Heroin addicts frequently take 10 times more; Hydromorphone is not common with a dose of about 2.0mg.
All of these cause severe constipation and addiction and many other adverse side effects but some are much worse than others.
The Opioids, those not from Opium but totally synthetic are Meperidine or Demerol with a dose of about 50mg which is presumed to be about equal to Morphine in the dose of 10mg; Methadone has a dose of about 3.0mg; Fentanyl in a dose of about 0.2mg compared to Morphine.
It is important to note that with long term use all of the above drugs cause tolerance or the requirement for increasing doses for the same relief. I have left out some of both classes, Opiate and Opioid because they seem to be rarely used.
We will soon be having more long acting, more addicting, more lethal drugs like Oxycontin. Drug overdoses and deaths mostly from this later type of drug approached 37,000 deaths in 2009.
I first was introduced to the Opioid painkiller, Demerol, when I started my medical practice, for migraines. I could tell from my patients apparent suffering that it was severe and I thought Morphine might be best. I was advised by my betters that Demerol with a brain blood vessel relaxing action would be better. It was!
On Nov. 18, 2010 I posted Marijuana: Miracle Pain Killer in salem-news.com lightly covering this subject. It received 10 comments. On March 2, 2009 I posted Marijuana vs. Morphine drugs on salem-news.com after I heard that Marijuana was extremely useful for severe pain. On Feb. 13, 2009 I posted Marijuana vs. Anti-depressants. I received 35 comments many advising me that Marijuana was excellent therapy for pain with minimal adverse effects.
One of my biggest surprises in preparing this posting was to see that Marijuana was/is used together with drugs like Oxycodone and Hydrocodone for severe pain and otherwise. This may be one of the exceptions for Marijuana being equal to or better than Opiates. Some extreme pain requires surgical severing of the pain nerve. Transcutaneoous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (T.E.N.S.) may be another option. I still say that with my 5000 or so patients with 70% complaining of severe pain having found relief with Mairjuana and most were able to stop the narcotics.
My experience and that of several thousands of physicians indicate that Marijuana works well for 150,000 Medical Marijuana patients for about 70% of those requesting permits for pain. It also works well for the 30% who have muscle spasms and the 20% of those who have nausea and vomiting for patients with Cancer or HIV or the medications for them.
CBS News had a recent story on the use of Marijuana in the various 17 legal states in 2009. Delaware had 11.86% of people using Marijuana and it went up to 16.29% for Alaska. The overall percentage for use in the U.S. was about 9%. In Australia and New Zealand it was up to about 20%.

Hi vicki
I found this thread by doing a search for horse at the bottom of the trash to treasure page. It has a couple of beautys and I think some instructions. There are other links and some of the pics may be gone but some are still there.
Good luck and post a pic!
Here is a link that might be useful: Carousel horse thread
Hi! I have made 1 carousel horse and my sister has made 19! However, ours are only for indoors. I don't know how to post a picture and don't have time to search today. If I was going to do one for outdoors I would use Patio Paints and a good poly coat over that. If anyone can help me post a picture I can show some of ours. We fill the holes with joint compound, letting each coat dry and adding more, then use fine sandpaper to smooth. We also put them on poles and stands. Any questions I will be happy to answer if I can! Nancy

Teenage girls are regularly skipping up to two meals a day because they think they are overweight, according to a new UK survey examining children's lives.
One in 10 girls aged 14 and 15 often go without both breakfast and lunch, the poll found.
A quarter (26 per cent) of them frequently skip breakfast and 22 per cent routinely pass on lunch.
The survey, by the UK Schools Health Education Unit, also found that most teenage girls believe they are overweight, even when they are not.
Even among younger girls, those aged 10 and 11, 40 per cent thought they needed to lose weight.
Breakfast appears to be the meal that is most often missed, despite the old adage that it is the most important meal in the day.
While 26 per cent of 14 and 15-year-old girls said they often missed it, the problem appears to start at a younger age, with 20 per cent of 12 and 13-year-olds going without, and seven per cent of 10 and 11-year-olds.

This beautiful amethyst bracelet and earring set from Katie Hacker makes a great gift, especially for February babies.
For Necklaces:
- Beadalon® 19 Strand wire, .018" diameter, bright colore
- Twenty-three assorted 8-10mm amethyst glass beads
- Two 2mm silver crimp tubes silver toggle clasp
- Ten silver head pins
- Round nose pliers
- Beadalon Nipper tool
- Two 8mm amethyst glass beads
- Two 10-12mm amethyst glass beads
- Two silver head pins
- Two silver eye pins
- Two silver ear wires
- Beadstrom™ Round Nose pliers
- Beadalon Nipper tool
Tip: For a quick and easy version of this bracelet, simply omit the beaded charms.
- Cut three 12" lengths of Beadalon® 19 Strand wire. Hold the strands together and string a crimp tube 1/2" from the end. String the wire through half of the clasp and back into the crimp tube to form a loop. Use crimping pliers to crimp the crimp tube.
- On one strand, leave 1/2", then string a glass bead. Wrap the Beadalon® wire around the bead and place the end of the Beadalon® wire back through the same hole to hold it in place. String five beads 1" apart along the length of the strand.
- Leave 3/4" and 1" on the other strands, then repeat the technique to string four beads 1" apart along the length of the strand.
- Hold the strands together and string a crimp tube and half of the clasp. Place the strand ends back into the crimp tube to form a loop. Adjust the strands so the bracelet is 7 1/4" long (or the desired length). Use crimping pliers to crimp the crimp tube.
- String a glass bead onto a head pin. Use round nose pliers to make a loop above the bead. Trim off any excess wire. Make ten beaded pins. Open the loops and attach one beaded pin between every two beads on the bracelet.
- Choose two sets of larger matching glass beads and two sets of smaller matching glass beads. String the larger bead onto an eye loop. Use round nose pliers to make a loop above the bead. Trim off any excess wire, then attach the beaded pin to an ear wire. String the smaller glass bead onto a head pin and make a loop above the bead. Trim off any excess wire and attach the smaller bead to the loop below the larger bead. Repeat for the other earring.

What state are you in? Gun laws vary wildly by state, and in some states having an uncased firearm in your backseat is a no-no (and a felony in some cases). Make sure you're doing it correctly. If you're in Michigan, let me know...I know all the laws and then some (I'm a federally licensed dealer).
Now...I think I need to start brewing a bock or something...

Isn't it funny how the liberal, open minded, free thinking, intellectual master minds are so narrow minded when it comes to firearms? Anyone in one of the communist leaning socialist areas may want to look into black powder firearms. They are effective and great fun to use. Any of you who have never used them regardless of where you live should also look into them. There is a lot to be said for firing a side lock and even more for a cap and ball revolver. Great history and great fun.

How to break into a playgroup clique
Started by kiwimum2b , Nov 19 2012 12:22 PM

Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:22 PM
Trying to meet new ppl and make friends in a new(ish) area..we've lived here for 8 months and have been building so pretty preoccupied with that.Thought its about time to get into a playgroup. Went to the open day, 1 person talked to me. Went to playgroup today and its very cliquey..I tried to make conversation, and 2 mums talked to me but as soon as they answered my question they went back into the group(who were all in a little circle on the verandah..)Everyone just ignored me, so I left.So, any ideas on how to break into a very cliquey playgroup, or do I stand no chance??
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:44 PM
It would depend on how long the group has been together. A newer group would be easier to join.
Bring a yummy home made cake next time and see what happens!
Also, ask lots of questions about the other children - people love to brag about their kids.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:48 PM
This is what scares me about joining a playgroup!
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:52 PM
Find one mum you click with the most and invite her over for a coffee at yours. That might get the ball rolling.
Keep going and going until they get used to you being there and they accept that you are remaining a part of the group. Might be hard at first but I suspect it will get easier.
Definitely bring something yummy for them to eat.
If that doesn't work find another group. Don't give up, it is sooooo worth having connections in your neighbourhood.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:53 PM
I'd try another playgroup, OP. They are not all like that.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:54 PM
It helps to go to a playgroup some one else you know goes to. If there are a number of kids at the older age range (about to go to school) then the dynamics will change as those kids/parents go to school. Some groups are just cliquey, or are all parents that already knew each other before the group started.
I guess my tip is - find who the co-ordinator is and ask to be introduced to others.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:59 PM
I am in the same boat kiwimum2b, I took DD to a playgroup and the only person that really spoke to me was the lady running the group and I even had one woman look me up and down and turn her back on me needless to say we never went back there.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:00 PM
I've just done this. I went against my normal tendancy to be shy, and just walked up to the huddle and joined in the conversation. It was hard at first. Ask if there is a FB page for the group (mine has one and it is for organising who will be doing what that week), ask if there is a roster ie cleaning, bringing the milk for coffee, doing an activity etc and say you are keen to go on the roster. When your child is interacting with the other kids, play with them (if their child thinks you are OK they will too) HTH
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:00 PM
I went to an established playgroup where I knew nobody. I just kept talking to people and asking questions about their lives. And I kept going week after week. Eventually I became one of the 'clique' as I had been for a while and everyone knew me and knew lots about me.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:09 PM
Just go and sit with all the ladies in the huddle. Just listen and chime in when you can. Just don't be afraid to pull up a chair next to everyone. I am in a Playgroup and we have been together for almost 4 years and have been through a lot together. We sometimes get new people and some have become part of the group and some have left. Our group is on a Friday - we are all tired, usually frazzled and just want to relax. We all make an effort to say hello to the new people and ask a question or two then it is up to the new person to just join in. The ones who just pull up a seat next to us all are the ones that have the most success. I know it can be daunting but just give it a few weeks.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:14 PM
Thanks for your replies..I guess I just have to keep trying..
The kids were all older than my son, and have obviously been going awhile as they all knew each other and the 'lay of the land' so to speak..they just barged around taking whatever my son was playing with, who in turn just got more and more upset..there's not much choice in my area, so will try the only other playgroup and hope for the best..
I couldn't find someone to click with cause they all sat in a circle on the verandah..I was the only adult outside with all the kids!
Try and try again :-/
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:21 PM
It is networking. One visit will not make you part of the group or have a relationship with these women. You need to actively participate in conversations, appear interested in their children/lives. Just like their friends are.
I disagree with the "invite one Mum over". I think keep attending and suss out the group dynamic. You could alienate/offend others and you really want to make sure that the person you have invited is not universally disliked etc!!!
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:27 PM
I think in any playgroup it's hard to break in on the first day. I've lost count of how many people have come to our playgroup for one session and never come back. I don't think we're rude or b**chy, but of course you're never going to have instant rapport and easy conversation to the same extent as people who've known each other for a year or more. It takes a bit of persistence, and I think as the newbie you have to be the one who makes the effort to join the conversation or start a new one. If you sit back and wait for others to include you it's probably not going to happen.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:33 PM
All very true and valid points...thanks!!
I will keep trying...I think a lot of them have been through school etc together, so very tight..not sure ill have success but will make sure I really put myself out there.
Maybe I'll try a different day where the kids are not so much older than mine..
Thanks for the tips
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:33 PM
I think most established groups of people are cliquey without really meaning to be. We try to be welcoming in our playgroup and engage newcomers, but they need to make the effort too. I'm not there just to be a door greeter for people who are sussing out the group, I'm a mum who wants my 2 hours chat and a cuppa with friends while our kids play together as well. So IMO the best thing you can do is pull up a chair and join in. That's what the most recent comers to our playgroup have done, and it's like they've always been there, even though it's only been a few months. We're also at the stage now where older members will be moving on due to kids starting school, so you might find you have better luck in the new year when there's a change to the dynamic and possibly more new arrivals.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:43 PM
Help out!
I was new to an area and accidently got roped into being a co-ordinator. Something I would never normally do. The playgroup had quite a few established groups but being a co-ordinator was my in.
You don't have to become a co-ordinator but if you are seen actually getting in and helping out that will go a loooooong way to people liking you and talking to you.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:49 PM
Not easy joining an established group. I have joined one about 3 monthso ago and whilst everyone was nice enough its taken time to "break through". I have attended every week, offered to make the morning tea cake, actively joined in to the discussions even when it was a bit awkward with some.
I felt like not going after a few weeks but really wanted to kids to make local friends. It has paid off. The other option is starting in the new year might mean a few people move on and new ones start - it might be easier to be new then. I know our playgroup only has 3 weeks left this year
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:51 PM
What area are you in OP?
I'd suggest trying another playgroup. I understand feeling very nervous about joining a new group. Our mother's group is currently in the process of starting our own playgroup and would be very welcoming to new members. Surely there would be other groups out there like ours.
Edited by chicken_bits, 19 November 2012 - 01:52 PM.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 04:48 PM
I think it is best to find a group with children the same age as your child. Once you can see he is getting something out of it, it is easier to commit to going along every week, even if you aren't enjoying it much. Once you have been there a while and had a few conversations with other mums you'll gradually make friendships and then someone will come along who is newer than you and you won't be the newbie anymore.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 05:06 PM
Once you're not the newbie anymore, it becomes infinitely easier. Until then, ask someone to move over, join in the conversation and breathe through the awkward moments.
Alternatively, you could start your own playgroup. Everyone would be new then!
Posted 19 November 2012 - 05:21 PM

They are definitely not all like that!! Sorry to hear these guys are.

That is a pretty sh*tty experience Maybe even try a different day at the same place (if they have them), often the dynamics can be quite different from day to day!
Posted 19 November 2012 - 05:25 PM
Could you find one where the kids are the same age?
I find at school, kindy, playgroup if the kids are similar ages then you will usually find it easier to strike up a conversation about developmental milestones etc.
I go to one at the local kindy and the good thing is other Mums tend to take their children just before starting kindy so you know your children are going to be in the same kindy class and then (since a lot of the kids go from that kindy to the local school) that may end up in the same reception year/class at school etc
The other Mums talk to each other and include each other because even if they really don't want to associate with you if they know they are going to have to for the next few years they are much more likely to engage you.
You in general! and I hope this makes sense.
Sounds like you may be at one where this is the case, if the kids are a bit older and they all know each other from kindy, school, sports etc then it can be hard to break in.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 06:27 PM
Its good to know that not all playgroups are like this..they do have different days at the same playgroup, so I think I'll try another day aswell as trying the other playgroup.
Apparently this playgroup goes right through all holidays etc, but know there's changes on the committee in the new year with kids going to school. Might be an idea to go in the new year..def need 1 where there are better ages for my son..
It was just difficult when they just stopped talking and went off to sit with the others..hopefully something will work out
Posted 19 November 2012 - 06:56 PM
I would try another day, not all playgroups are like that. The playgroup I attend, I have spoken to multiple mothers and had them speak to me on different weeks. Some of my original mothers group attend this playgroup and we have even made new friends within our mothers group and invite them out and meet up.
Hopefully you find one that's right for you op.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 07:16 PM
Keep trying, but sometimes it takes a few tries at different groups. It took me till my third playgroup to enjoy, get to know people and actually want to talk to them as well..
It's worth it if you can find the right one, I met one of my great friends at playgroup 10 years ago, and we are still friends, both moved to nz within six months of each other three years ago, I moved back and have visited and we still keep in touch!

i was prescribed .05-1 mg every six hours as needed 2/6/11; i am having hallucinations that are not unpleasant; they are lucid, and i know i am hallucinating, i can interact with the scenes played out. it actually seems to be quite soothing but then i have random hallucinations (for example, i SAW the dog inside, but then my husband brought him in) and i am doubting my grasp of this reality. what is going on?
Can ativan, in small doses (.05 mg every 30-36 hours) cause hallucinations?

thank you, i was holding out for the "oh, yeah, that's normal" response but i thought it was a long shot. i just left a message to move up my next appt.
24 Feb 2011
Hey omega520,
Hallucinations are listed as an infrequent side effect of ativan. This means one in 100 to one in 1000 occurences in post marketing studies. So while it is not common, it can happen. I agree, you need to let the doctor know asap.
I would hate for you to lose the dog, lol. Not trying to make light of this situation but relax and let the doctor know soon.
i quit taking the ativan but i am still hallucinating so i have quit driving and trusting myself. waiting to see a psychiatrist but i am on medi-cal and i have to wait. it's scary but i'm dealing.
Glad you are talking to the doctor soon. The ativan may not be the right medication for you.
Thanks for keeping us posted and let us know how you do.

Obama Administration
A White House effort to stem the tide of child sex trafficking is beginning to get results, CTO Todd Park says.
The issue of child sex trafficking is not particularly high profile for the Obama administration, but a new initiative, heavy on technology, could change that.
Federal CTO Todd Park, speaking at a luncheon hosted by TechAmerica in May 2, pointed to a speech given by the president at the Clinton Global Initiative in September 2012 when Obama promised to redouble efforts to go after sex traffickers abroad and at home.
"Just as they are now using technology and the Internet to exploit their victims, we're going to harness technology to stop them," Obama said. "We're encouraging tech companies and advocates and law enforcement -- and we're also challenging college students -- to develop tools that our young people can use to stay safe online and on their smart phones."
Park cited chilling statistics -- that 100,000 American children are essentially sold into a life of sex slavery every year, and that 75 percent of those children are trafficked online.
According to Park, the White House efforts against domestic human trafficking are starting to bear fruit. Efforts to shut down websites that contained ads for trafficked children were unproductive, he said, because the ads would move from site to site. Additionally, traffickers do not overtly advertise the availability of underage girls. Law enforcement officers spent time poring over tens of thousands of online sex ads posted every week at sites like Backpage.com for clues, but this was extremely labor intensive.
As an outgrowth of the Obama initiative, the Ford Foundation helped build a tool that used algorithms to identify signals that an ad was written by or is advertising an underage girl. "I can't get into detail about the tools. We don't want the traffickers to know," Park said.
Park also noted the power of the White House to bring together top talent to focus on problems. "When I was in biz dev, 95 percent of my time was spent getting the meeting," Park said. "At the White House, you make a list of 50 people you want, announce you're holding a meeting in a week-and-a-half, and everyone shows up."

Joomla Idea Pool
Welcome to the Joomla Idea Pool. Please add your suggestions here for future versions of Joomla and vote on current suggestions.
Node Based Scheme
As a CMS we need to provide two different levels of structures. Navigation and Content logic. The idea of the NBS is to provide a simple but easy structure that allows the admin to maintain his trees.
The NBS must be available and open to the 3rd Party devs as well, as they should be able to add structures into the existing tree or build up their own trees easily.14 votes
Native content management on front-end
as the 1.5 "FUAL" does: it will be a great goal. In this way an editoc can manage and delete articles, in the respect of ACL.13 votes
custom scrollbar
there should be a custom scrollbar for content. We dont want to use default ie or firefox scrollbar.. it sucks.13 votes
Media manager (pictures) should be with different folder for each user.
Access to Media manager (pictures) should be with different folder for each user and separated Access Levels.13 votes
Catch login attempts, log and ban IP (something like fail2ban)
I'm administrating few Joomla sites. Recently we have large amount of bot trying to guess passwords. My idea is simple:
- Log false login attempt IP (database and/or "logs/error.php" file)
- Ban for x minutes those IPs which had y attempts in current hour (x, y might be configurable)
In my opinion, this would save many, many sites from hacks!13 votes
Upgrade com_banners
1.Add possibility to easy upload and publish flash files
2.Commercial should have start and end publish date
3.Administrator can set frequency of showing particular banner, for example 1 show for an hour , or each user can see banner one time for a day
4.There should be possibility to assign banners to each ip range or should be another way for geo localization commercial campaigns13 votes
extension for idea pool
need same extension like joomla idea pool and will be non comercial12 votes
Find & Install Extensions/Plugins/Modules within Joomla Administration
Find & Install Plugins/Extensions/Modules inside Joomla Site Administration... like wordpress12 votes
Draggable module positioning
Joomla needs a way for users to easily visualize how modules will appear on various pages. Users could resize and drag all modules (while simultaneously viewing the content) in order to easily make changes, as in Artisteer.12 votes
Improve IN/OUTparameter passing between Joomla and external applications (which could be wraped into Joomla framework). Passing username, password, +other critical parameters would help integrate Joomla with hundreds of other SOAP apps.12 votes
Replace Ideas system (UserVoice) with Joomla extension!
Replace the current system used here at idea.joomla.org with a Joomla extension (e.g. a customized version of obSuggest).
That additionally to the UserVoice features:
- Allow people to down vote a feature.
- Report abuse.
- Report duplicates.
- Display the time a comment was submitted/modified.
- Integrate with the other Joomla.org sites (single-sign-on).12 votes
Responsive Joomla
responsive design is something that is very importent in the modern css maby it's an idea to add it in joomla that's everything automatic responsive or easier to make it responsive12 votes
Blog view for tag component
Currently the tag component offers a list of items tagged or a list of tags, but it would be helpful to have a blog display, with all the same features and options of a "category blog," for each tag when clicked.12 votes
admin ID
User id of joomla 1.6 admin isn't 1 - it's 4X, and in joomla 1.5 it's 6X,
reset autoincrement of jos_users to make the default administrator id=1 in the default package which is available on the site for download.12 votes
json grid in admin for quick sorting and filtering
Admin is full of lists view like, module manager, plugin manager. And we can sort these by clicking to column's heading. In my opinion it should use json grid so that this will not require page load and will save time12 votes
radphp integration
include the radpho default PHP integration in distrubution & make ability to connect radphp to menues and links12 votes
Multi category
Possibility to link a contact to more than one category. Example: Employee, Management, Project team. In general, the idea of linking an item to more than one category could apply to other items also, such as articles for instance. This would for instance reduce the use of featured articles as this would jus be another category.12 votes
Deleted unused images
Possibilité de lister les images inutilisées dans le gestionnaire d'images.
Le gestionnaire de média devrait pouvoir scanner toute la base de données afin de la comparer avec les fichiers présents dans le dossier images de façon à pouvoir lister celles qui ne sont pas utilisées en donnant la possibilité de supprimer celles inutiles.12 votes
Google Webmaster Tools Compatiility
The core components and modules in Joomla should be more compatible with Google Webmaster Tools. For example, the core menu module should bee compatible with google's menu indexing capability, and sitemaps should be auto generated.12 votes
Better TOC (table of content)
Joomla should have a more powerful and versatile TOC (Table of Content).
After all Joomla is a content manager system and it should handle an important aspect as it is the TOC better.
The new TOC should be able to:
* rappresent the list of the content in a droplist (and not only rendered in a table).
An article made of many pages will have a long TOC and having it rendered in a droplist will save a lot of page space and it will be better to look at.
* ability to change the name of the first page in the toc (now Joomla simply names the first page of the TOC as the name of the article without having the ability to change the name which is not great).
* Ability to change the style of the TOC with CSS
* have the choice where to have the toc (top, bottom, or top and bottom of the article), and/or ability to easily change it's location to other positions.
