Critics lambaste jump in marijuana charges

During a decade when Canadians grew increasingly tolerant of marijuana use, the number of simple possession charges more than doubled — a trend that critics say has increased the costs of running an already overburdened court system.

Charges for marijuana hit 50,246 across Canada in 2002, according to recently released figures from Statistics Canada. That compares with 1992, when there were 23,178. More...

Prescribed heroin 'safe for addicts'

LONDON - Many heroin addicts could be helped by a programme which includes the drug itself alongside conventional treatments, say researchers.
Although the idea of giving the drug which is the root cause of the addiction is still fiercely opposed by some, evidence is increasing that some users could benefit. More...

COMMENT: The deck is stacked . . ....against us
It's not enough to preach 'responsible gambling,' says recovering compulsive gambler DOUG LITTLE

Toronto Globe and Mail - I fumed when I read the article in these pages earlier this week by Jon Kelly of the Responsible Gambling Council of Ontario. While Mr. Kelly describes his council as "a non-profit organization funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care," the council, which doles out advice to problem gamblers, is hardly as benevolent as it sounds More...

Subject: shocked

Hi Mark;
l was listening to your program last nite and was shocked to find out you are a fag.
l listened to you when you were on CKLW and was impressed the way you helped people, but it,s all over now l wouldn,t listen to you if you were the last person on earth. Reason it,s because of your immoral and discusting lifestyle and the way you and your kind and the Liberals have taken our country deeper into the sewers, but l guess there is one upside to it you will all burn in hell. l am almost sure l will rite CFRB off to after more than 30 yrs of listening for allowing people of your kind to even be on a high rated station like CFRB.

Drug-rehab grad Noelle Bush: It was 'quite a challenge'
Today, Noelle Bush can start thinking about her future instead of her next drug test.

After 16 months, the governor's 26-year-old daughter Friday graduated from the drug-court program that kept her from a possible prison sentence.

While Gov. Jeb Bush and wife Columba looked on, Noelle hugged Orange Circuit Judge Reginald Whitehead after he congratulated her on making it through the stringent drug-rehabilitation program. More...

Tobacco firm tries to lure celeb smokers

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A tobacco company is offering a free lifetime supply of cigarettes to celebrity smokers as part of a guerrilla marketing campaign to raise the public profile of its recently launched brand.

In a tersely worded pitch, Freedom Tobacco International Inc. said it was seeking to "seed" its cigarettes with adult celebrities. The appeal was made Tuesday to publicists through a Web-based network subscribed to by hundreds of public relations agencies.

"To be honest, celebrities make or break your brands. If you look at who drinks what or that sort of thing, celebrity endorsements have always meant a lot," said Patrick Carroll, founder and chief executive of the New York-based company.

VOODOO DRUG ADDICTION RECOVERY

By Mark Elliot

Imagine being addicted to a drug like heroin and trying to find an effective remedy that works fast and keeps you from going back again.

How about Spit- therapy? That’s one where other addicts in treatment spit on you as a punishment for wrong-thinking. Never heard of it?

Well, how about Desert Therapy? As one organization explains it: "providers who are committed to the utilization of outdoor modalities to assist young people and their families to make positive change."

Never mind that it’s for 21 days where nothing is done to address the issues of addiction, except to place the addict somewhere not listed in the Zip Code Directory…Sound good?
