War on Drugs Makes Women the Enemy
If you've been following the story of Cleveland's alleged serial killer Anthony Sowell, you know it's horrific. Eleven female bodies have been found in and around the man's home, leaving the public wondering how could these crimes go on undetected for years. Writing in the Daily Beast, Cleveland journalist Mansfield Frazier says he knows why: Sowell was able to kill drug-addicted women without anyone noticing because the war on drugs targets women.
Are Prescription Drug Ads More Harm Than Help?
Chances are you've seen more prescription drug commercials than you can count — Viagra, Cymbalta, Celebrex, and Yaz are just a few that I can name from memory. The ads are pervasive and influential and pharmaceutical companies know that. From 1997 to 2005, drug companies tripled their spending in television ad campaigns from $1.3 billion to $4.2 billion.
UK Report Calls Date-Rape Drug a Myth

Book Bag: This Is Your Country On Drugs

Coasters That Detect Date-Rape Drugs in Drinks
Getting reminders that there are predatory men out there willing to spike your drink with date-rape drugs kinda keeps me from ever wanting to leave my apartment again, but at least for the brave bar flies out there, there are now coasters that can be used to detect two "popular" date-rape drugs, GHB (aka "Roofies") and ketamine.
Some bars are willing to fork over the 40 cents-per-coaster to hand these out to women so that they feel safe enough to drink at their bars. It's pretty shocking that this is common enough that a whole industry has been built around it.
Is the War on Drugs Being Waged From the Wrong Battlefront?
Just consider me Mary Poppins this morning: a little sweet Prince William to help the War on Drugs go down. The Prince is on the front lines of the battle — the warship the Prince is serving on just seized $80 million worth (almost two tons) of cocaine from a speedboat just north of Barbados.
William's ship is patrolling the waters of the West Indies looking for drug runners, and this score came early on in their mission.
Jake Gyllenhaal Finds Coffee, but No Love on Set
Jake Gyllenhaal was all business other than his footwear — sandals with socks — on the set of Love and Other Drugs in Pittsburgh, PA yesterday. The actor isn't letting himself go after training for his role in Prince of Persia as we saw from his sleeveless wardrobe last week, but this time he kept his toned biceps under wraps. Reese is a few short hours away on her own movie set in Philadelphia, but the two lovebirds are no strangers to popping in to visit each other while they're hard at work.
Drug Traffickers Blow by the US, Head for Euros
Drug traffickers now join rappers and models who have been ditching the dollar for the more exquisite euro.
White House drug officials announced this week that cocaine is being rerouted from the US and heading through Venezuela to West Africa eventually reaching its final destination — Europe.
With such a weak dollar, drug dealers have more to make by hustling in the Old World.
