Florida Bans Bath Salts Containing Drug Similar To Cocaine: Melbourne Criminal Defense Attorney Discusses the Potential Drug Offenses and Punishments Associated With MDPV

Melbourne, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) March 03, 2011

Florida’s Attorney General prohibited the use of bath salts containing the substance, methylenedioxypyrovalerone, or MDPV, in stores across Florida late January. The bath salts are often used as a stimulant that creates a high similar to the effects of cocaine or methamphetamines, and are equally as addictive.

This Florida ban comes after stories of abuse circulated throughout southern states, primarily in Florida and Louisiana. Louisiana first banned the bath salts at the beginning of January, and Florida poison control centers report they have received about 60 calls with accounts of people abusing the salts, and using them in human consumption by either snorting, eating or smoking the salts.  Read more...

1973 www.amazon.com Watch the full film: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, refers to a maladaptive pattern of use of a substance that is not considered dependent. The term “drug abuse” does not exclude dependency, but is otherwise used in a similar manner in nonmedical contexts. The terms have a huge range of definitions related to taking a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect. All of these definitions imply a negative judgment of the drug use in question (compare with the term responsible drug use for alternative views). Some of the drugs most often associated with this term include alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methaqualone, and opioids. Use of these drugs may lead to criminal penalty in addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, both strongly depending on local jurisdiction. Other definitions of drug abuse fall into four main categories: public health definitions, mass communication and vernacular usage, medical definitions, and political and criminal justice definitions. Worldwide, the UN estimates there are more than 50 million regular users of heroin, cocaine and synthetic drugs. Substance abuse is a form of substance-related disorder. The general group of pharmacological agents commonly known as hallucinogens can be divided into three broad categories: psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants. These classes of …

1973 www.amazon.com Watch the full film: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Cocaine (benzoylmethylecgonine) is a crystalline tropane alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the coca plant. The name comes from “coca” in addition to the alkaloid suffix -ine, forming cocaine. It is a stimulant of the central nervous system, an appetite suppressant, and a topical anesthetic. Specifically, it is a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which mediates functionality of these neurotransmitters as an exogenous catecholamine transporter ligand. Because of the way it affects the mesolimbic reward pathway, cocaine is addictive. Its possession, cultivation, and distribution are illegal for non-medicinal and non-government sanctioned purposes in virtually all parts of the world. Although its free commercialization is illegal and has been severely penalized in virtually all countries, its use worldwide remains widespread in many social, cultural, and personal settings. Amphetamine (USAN) or amfetamine (INN) is a psychostimulant drug that is known to produce increased wakefulness and focus in association with decreased fatigue and appetite. Amphetamine is chemically related to methamphetamine and lisdexamfetamine, a class of potent drugs that act by increasing levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, inducing euphoria. The class includes prescription CNS drugs commonly used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is also used to treat …
