The Denver Post has reported that a recent letter to the Denver County judiciary urged the court to lower the fine for possession of marijuana of less than one ounce to $1.00. The current penalty for possession of marijuana of less than one ounce is $50.00, plus a $100.00 state surcharge accompanied by a $10.00 bureau fee. Fines would still include the $100.00 state surcharge accompanied by a $10.00 bureau fee. Mason Tvert, a member of the panel and the executive director of Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation, which has pushed decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana , said "lowering the fine would send a message to police "that it is not worth their time or the court's to issue any more citations."

The following are "Flu Facts" from President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology: Influenza epidemics cannot be prevented with currently available tools, but four categories of methods are available to mitigate the effects of an epidemic: 1. Vaccines to prevent infection. For seasonal influenza, vaccines reduce the risk of serious disease in infants and children, pregnant women, older adults, people who have chronic medical conditions,or those who might infect high-risk people through their work or household contact. 2. Antiviral drugs to decrease the likelihood of infection or severe disease in uninfected individuals (usually those with known or suspected exposure); to reduce the severity and duration of disease in patients already infected and ill; and to lower the rate of virus shedding in infected individuals, thereby decreasing the likelihood of transmission to others. 3. Medical care to manage clinical illness, which may range from mild to extre...

Mexico's new ruling to legalize small amounts of narcotics seems to lean towards curbing corruption and extortion of casual users by Mexican police rather than the safety of it's public in whole. The provision does call for mandatory rehabilitation after three fouls. The Associated Press reported that "the new law sets out maximum "personal use" amounts for drugs , also including LSD and methamphetamine. People detained with those quantities no longer face criminal prosecution." Bernardo Espino del Castillo of the attorney general's office stated, "in practice, small users almost never did face charges anyway. Under the previous law, the possession of any amount of drugs was punishable by stiff jail sentences, but there was leeway for addicts caught with smaller amounts." Espino del Castillo concluded, "The bad thing was that it was left up to the discretion of the detective, and it could open the door to corruption or extortion." Go...

Health Industry Experts are reporting that the swine flu vaccination that will be available this coming fall will possibly require two vaccinations that will need to be spaced about three to four weeks apart. According to the Los Angeles Times, Health Officials are claiming that the swine flu vaccination does not provoke as strong an immune response as does the seasonal flu vaccine, it may be necessary to administer two doses of the swine-flu inoculation for it to be most effective. "If two doses are needed, they will be given perhaps three to four weeks apart" said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, Los Angeles County’s health officer. The Novel H1N1 vaccine is not intended to replace the Seasonal Flu vaccine – it is intended to be used along-side seasonal flu vaccine.

Flu outbreaks occur more frequently in the Fall and Winter when cooler weather is prevalent. In colder weather people obviously spend more time indoors and congregate in closer proximity making it easier for the virus to spread. WebMD states that "The flu virus can survive longer periods indoors in winter because the relative humidity of indoor air is very low in comparison to the outside air." As a way to prevent the flu, Mobile Medical Corporation (MMC) advises individuals to wash their hands often in order to kill germs and bacteria. MMC also recommends a flu shot. In years when the vaccine strains and the virus strains are well-matched, the vaccine can reduce the chances of getting the “Flu” by 70%-90% in healthy adults.

Between 1996 and 2005 the use of antidepressants among Americans has doubled. By 2005 there were approximately 27 million people with prescriptions for antidepressant pharmaceuticals. A leading drug research firm recently reported that more than 164 million prescriptions were written in 2008 for antidepressants, totaling $9.6 billion in U.S. sales. A series of clinical trials in 2003 showed that antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children and teens. After the 2003 study public health warnings on use of antidepressant drugs began to appear. Dr. Mark Olfson of Columbia University and Steven Marcus of the University of Pennsylvania wrote in the Archives of General Psychiatry that "Not only are more U.S. residents being treated with antidepressants, but also those who are being treated are receiving more antidepressant prescriptions."
