Two are pain relievers but help different areas.

paxil is a mild anti depressant that shouldn’t bother anything at a low dose.

I hate to see someone on Oxycodone. Unless you have a terminal illness try to get off that as soon as you can. HIGHLY addictive.

Also, one of the patient infomation leaflets (PILs) of any one of the three medicines your on should have a drug interactions section that will tell you if these medicines interact.

Hope this helped.

Irritability
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Sluggishness
Abdominal pain
Vomiting
Constipation
Unusual paleness (pallor) from anemia
Learning difficulties
Signs and symptoms in adults
Although children are primarily at risk, lead poisoning is also dangerous to adults. Signs and symptoms of lead poisoning in adults may include:

Pain, numbness or tingling of the extremities
Muscular weakness
Headache
Abdominal pain
Memory loss
Mood disorders
Reduced sperm count, abnormal sperm

In the same period the number of admissions to psychiatric hospital caused by the drug soared by 85 per cent due to the fact that those who smoke the drug regularly are more than twice as likely to suffer illnesses such as schizophrenia, hallucinations and delusions later in life.

Teens using marijuana to alleviate feelings of depression just compound the problem.

As well as psychotic illness cannabis can cause affective disorders such as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Even worse it is linked to cancers.

Cannabis users display neuropsychological dysfunction (relative frontal lobe functioning deficits, cognitive inhibition) and attentional deficits similar to those found in schizotypal or schizophrenia patients.

Regular use can shrink the parts of the brain which control memory, emotion and aggression. The hippocampus, which is thought to govern emotion and memory averages 12 percent smaller and the amygdala, which has a part in controlling fear and aggression, 7 percent smaller. This suggests that heavy daily use may be toxic to human brain tissue.

Blood flow velocity is significantly higher in users and they have higher values on the pulsatility index (PI), which measures the amount of resistance to blood flow. This is thought to be due to narrowing of the blood vessels that occurs when the circulation system’s ability to regulate itself is impaired. This leads to abnormalities in the small blood vessels in the brain.

The active chemical in MJ called delta-9-tetrahyrdocannabinol (THC) binds to cannabinoid (CB) receptors located on several cell types in various organs. This greatly increases the risk for heart attacks and strokes in addition to impaired learning and memory.

It can also effect physical health. Three to four cannabis cigarettes a day cause the same amount of damage to the lungs as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day. Thus there are rising levels of lung diseases such as emphysema.
In comparison to cigarettes marijuana smoke has significantly higher levels of toxic compounds, including ammonia and hydrogen cyanide. Ammonia levels are 20 times higher while hydrogen cyanide, nitric oxide and certain aromatic amines occurred at levels 3-5 times higher.
It can also effect the unborn child. Scientists have identified that endogenous cannabinoids, molecules naturally produced by our brains are functionally similar to THC from cannabis and play significant roles in establishing how certain nerve cells connect to each other. Maternal cannabis use allows THC to travel through the placenta and impair fetal brain development and impose life-long cognitive, social, and motor deficits in affected offspring.

Low doses of Ä-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), equivalent to that in the bloodstream of an average marijuana smoker facilitate infection of skin cells and can cause these cells to turn into malignant sarcoma. Men who regularly smoke cannabis have a 70 per cent increased risk of testicular cancer.

And then there are all the car crashes caused by people driving under the influence of drugs that are at this moment being quantified but already show that more drug drivers kill than drink drivers!!

Not to be mean here either, but your Pastor shouldn’t talk about things that he/she knows nothing about. A gateway drug?????? I don’t know that it is a gateway drug either, some people smoke pot and never do any other form of illegal drug. Pot has been around since the Egypticians. They found traces of Pot and Cocaine in several of the mummies of Egyptician Kings.

I think people like your Pastor just get a little carried away when it comes to illegal drugs. Really it is the individuals choice if they want to do drugs. There are plenty of sins being committed, so could we say Adultery is the Gateway to Hell, yeah we could, lying is the Gateway to Hell, yep sure is, Stealing is the Gateway to Hell, yep sure is, getting my point.

Ecclesiastis says “Nothing has changed under the sun”, meaning men and women of our time are still committing the same sins they committed in the days of old.

I think it would be better said to say “SIN IS THE GATEWAY TO HELL”

Anyway, it is more natural that the toxic Cigarettes that are killing more and more people each year. I don’t smoke marijuana, but i drink a beer now and then and If you drink beer or wine you are also consuming what could be believed as a gateway drug but yet it is still legal, but regulated by laws to protect you and others. The same can happen with marijuana, and if it is regulated by laws, yes you will have accidents and people will abuse it but I don’t think you can overdose to a point of killing yourself like alcohol. You can however get to a point that can be considered under the influence that can cause you to be in a situation that can kill you and others. That’s where the law should help but we know how that goes with respect to drinking and driving.

Why are they talking about it??? Because people are smoking up as you type, and in a sense they are smoking away billions of tax dollars that could be collected if the drug was regulated. Government companies can produce a government grade that can be distributed creating jobs and money to pay off government debt.

I think that someone in California stated that they smoke 18 billion away every day. If that is true, legalize the damn thing already.

They don’t hire random people off of the streets for drug tests, you usually need to be referred to a clinical research program by a doctor because you are suffering from a particular illness or ailment of which the pharmaceutical company is trying to research…

However, here is a link to a few sites with info, including the NIH page on clinical trials, and links to a few pharma websites that have info on their clinical studies.

There are few workplaces that want employees who are high or otherwise non functional on the job. In some jobs, it’s imperative that employees be alert and sober. In others, it’s simply desirable.

If a workplace lets it be known that they no longer tolerate drug users, then the employees have a choice. Stop using or lose their job. New employees would have to pass a test to get hired. Bottom line is the business would have more alert employees.

Your own work place might lose their current staff. But there are plenty of sober people looking for work. You can all be replaced.

It turned out that the workmanship defect rate and workplace accident rate was over 50% lower for my people than for the rest of the plant. As a result management decided to expand the drug testing to all employees. Everybody was given 60 days notice then everybody in the plant lined up to fill the bottle. After this every month a random selection of employees are now sent out for testing.

Every employee who came up hot was terminated.

Guess what the results were? Our workmanship defect rates dropped almost 70% and our on the job accident rates dropped by over half. The company saved over a million dollars a year on workman’s comp insurance rates alone.

And the real irony is that a competitor went and hired the people we fired – and that company went out of business early this year.

If taking enough to make you uncomfortable is what you mean by overdose, yes, it probably happens now and then.

If taking enough to kill you is what you mean by overdose, it probably hasn’t happened.

From animal studies, the lethal dose of marijuana is possibly about one third of your body weight at one time. I say “possibly” because the experiment hasn’t been done on humans. Some researchers say 1500 pounds smoked within 15 minutes is lethal.

But just because it is nonlethal, isn’t a reason by itself to legalize it.

I might be a bit suspicious of a pastor that knows so much detail about hell. I might prefer one that could describe heaven in detail instead.

Plus, Marijuana is Impossible to OD on…

It is 100 times safer than alcohol… Fact.

And unlike the legal poison of alcohol it actually has many medical uses. Aids patients can relieve their pains…

Chemotherapy patients also could use it to ease their pains without the harmful side affects of hard pain killers… it also helps increase chemotherapy patients appetite so they want to eat and don’t just wither away….

Tell that to your pastor.

Best of luck!

2) just got off a job where we actually had a random test of 100% of our employees. We got back 35 negative test results and one borderline result requiring no retest. basically 100% of our workforce passed.

3) drug testing is totally ineffective in reducing drug use in the work place. See #1

4) Just another reason to hate Ronald Reagan in particular and republicans in general.
