Once upon a time, HIV/AIDS infected persons were taking up to 20 pills a day at all different times of the day. One pill a day helps in compliance with medication and less opportunities for opportunity for drug resistance.

Police: Shooting of two teens in Texas park has ‘earmarks of a targeted attack’ – CNN.com.

This is scary. Apparently these women were lesbian, therefore this could be a hate crime against members of the LGBT community.

People need to learn to stop hating those they do not understand!

Reports: Miami ‘zombie’ attacker may have been using ‘bath salts’ – This Just In – CNN.com Blogs

by: Sonya Adams, LMSW, LCDC, SAP - June 3rd, 2012   Filed under: Homeless, Mental Health, Recovery Info, Social Work Add Comment

Reports: Miami ‘zombie’ attacker may have been using ‘bath salts’ – This Just In – CNN.com Blogs.

This has been one of the most bizarre stories I have followed. This whole idea of zombies is crazy. However, the effects of drugs is not crazy. As a therapist and substance abuse counselor, the effects of the ‘bath salts’ should more than scare the entire country.

Teens and young adults are experimenting with synthetic drugs and do not realize the long term effects of their use. The ‘instant gratification’ of the immediate high is not worth the price that will be paid down the road.

If this guy was on ‘bath salts’ and did this behavior while high, I wonder, was his high really worth his death and the negative fame he has received? Not in my opinion.
