The criminalization of cocaine has greatly contributed to our country’s vast prison population

They do, however, cast further doubt on the strength of empirical support for Miron’s intuitively plausible theory. Figure 10 reveals why the added data from the 1990s onward weakens the estimated relationship between prohibition enforcement expenditures and homicide: federal per capita drug prohibition spending has continued to rise despite a steady fall in the homicide […]

The price of keeping hundreds of thousands of drug offenders behind bars is high and rising

Attorneys for prosecution, whereas for 97.5 percent, drug trafficking was the most serious offense .In terms of drugs involved for defendants actually convicted of federal drug offenses, 30.6 percent involved marijuana, 22.4 percent involved crack cocaine, 21.5 percent involved cocaine powder, 12.5 percent involved methamphetamine, 7.8 percent involved opiates, 0.5 percent involved hallucinogens, and 4.8 […]

Solely individual-based explanations of the causes of public health concerns are insufficient

Again we find that individuals living in states that have statutorily removed jail sentences as penalties for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana are statistically less likely to report jail as the maximum penalty and more likely to report fines as the maximum penalty. However, again we see that the actual difference in […]

Patients with co-occurring behavioral and medical conditions represent such a population

Whilst the aim of our study was to examine the relationship between baseline features and subsequent outcome , it is important to note that there are limitations with this approach. First, we did not account psychosocial stressors and other confounding factors/events that may have occurred in the time between baseline and follow-up. Indeed, it is possible […]

ALC and PSU groups were abstinent from alcohol and/or psychostimulants for about one month

Future work could potentially benefit by further extending the present work to other health outcome variables such as ART medication adherence and HIV symptoms among persons with HIV/AIDS. It also may be advisable to explore how distress tolerance and emotion dysregulation relate to a broader array of symptoms and disorders. Finally, the present study was a […]

The same procedure and a core set of tobacco items were used for data collection across sites

However, most programs allowed tobacco use in designated outdoor areas, such as front or back porches, program parking lots, or other specified areas.Data collection was conducted by research staff during site visits in 2019. All adult clients enrolled in each program on site visit days were eligible to complete the survey.Research staff reviewed study information […]

Cumulative doses may affect the opioid receptor differently than length of time receiving opioids

In our multivariate analysis that included RASS and CAM-ICU findings, age did not continue to be a predictor of WS . However, the RASS and delirium findings, when added to the model, significantly increased the model fit. That is, we found that they are both related to WS. From a conceptual and clinical perspective, it […]

Marijuana is consistently the most widely used illicit drug among adolescents

Fourty-four percent of twelfth-graders have used marijuana in their lifetime, 20% used in the past month, and 5% use daily , representing a large increase from the 16% of 8th graders who have tried marijuana. Furthermore, 40% of high school students who used marijuana in the past year met criteria for marijuana abuse or dependence […]

The study of the EC system in renal disease is important for several reasons

While multiple complex processes are involved in the pathogenesis of ischemic AKI, tubular cell injury, increased oxidant stress, and inflammation are common denominators.IR-induced renal tubular injury results in increased expression of adhesion molecules, such as vascular and intercellular adhesion molecule1 , and selectins, such as Pselectin and E-selectin.This is followed by the attachment, activation, and […]

Some products already exist to facilitate such second order validation of crimes

Beyond these three limitations, Lehner and others point out that smaller vessels may not have AIS and may also be more difficult to differentiate from false-alarms, like breaking waves. We posit that few ships intent on criminal activity would have AIS either. Finally,Paes and others note that the Earth’s curvature and meteorological influences on data […]
