Hi Mark,
I have been listening to your program for over a month now. When I was a teenager, I did drink and experiment with some drugs. But that was way, way back in the mid '70's.

Sex Survey Finds Age Is No Passion Killer

LONDON (Reuters) - If you thought sagging hips, gray hair and wrinkles were sure to extinguish passion's flame, think again.
Age is no barrier to an active sex life and the over-40s are having as much fun in bed as their younger counterparts, according to a survey published on Thursday by Pfizer, which makes drugs including the impotence treatment Viagra. More...

Colleges, drinking and death

EDITORIAL - BUFFALO NEWS

It's always tragic when a young life is lost. But it's made even worse when that loss could have been prevented had there been better oversight by authorities. The recent deaths of two young people, in separate incidents just hours apart, tap that source of added sorrow. More...

A drug lesson worth remembering

A Profession Run Amok

By Nicholas Regush

There is no drug that can cure modern psychiatry. This is a profession that is close to routinely practicing medical terrorism by shamelessly over-prescribing drugs to people of all ages, often for phantom diseases and for purposes that have no rational basis in science. More...

AGONIZING OVER ECSTASY
Two Very Different Stories

By Mark Elliot

One night last summer on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, a police officer was confronted by something he'd never seen before. "I've seen a lot of things and taken a lot of abuse doing drug busts," he said. "But this is the first time anyone I've arrested has ever asked me for a hug."
