The Reality of Narcan
Recently I have seen a lot of articles and debate about Narcan, the drug that when administered, saves a person from an overdose on opiates. In the midst of a serious heroin epidemic, it is important to have the information necessary to make judgements and decisions based on fact, rather than heated emotions. Chances are, most of you reading this have either been directly affected, or know someone who has been affected by this devastating crisis. One opinion gaining widespread popularity is that the use of Narcan is enabling addicts to continue to use because they know the life-saving drug will be available. Some have even said addicts knowingly overdose at “Narcan Parties”, only to be saved and continue to inject heroin. Another objection to Narcan I have seen spread on social media amounts to something of the effect of, “Life-saving drugs should be administered on people who actually value their lives.” I am taking on the daunting task of putting my passion about the subject aside to address these concerns. My goal is for every person to walk away from this article able to make more well-informed thoughts, judgements, and decisions.

Best Detox Drinks to Pass a Drug Test
Sooner or later, all stoners will know the anxiety of an upcoming drug test. Depending on how much heads up is given, these tests can send a person into a state of mild annoyance or all-out panic. In some cases, people are absolutely right to worry. THC stays in the system far longer than most other drugs. This means that even though there are far worse drugs and public opinion on marijuana is shifting, smoking weed is more detrimental to your job hunt.

Injustice and the Gentle Giant
About eighty years ago a giant was framed for murder. The timeline isn't exact but what we do know is this was an inside job stemming from the highest levels of government. With no real evidence of wrong doing this beautiful creature's reputation was dragged through the streets and blasted over the airwaves as the mastermind behind all the evil this country has ever faced. They vehemently professed; she's ruining your lives... her friends must be criminals... she's going to eat your babies and destroy your marriage! Eek!! Surely, a giant that big she has no faith, soul, or positive attributes to offer society.

You go online surfing social media and you may come across different ads or techniques to relieve stress and anxiety. Some do yoga, jog, archery or plain just find any extracurricular activity to positively occupy their time; whatever floats a person's boat. One preferred method popular amongst the sub-cultures would be the use of hallucinogens and psychotropic drugs, LSD, Marijuana etc. There are even unconventional methods that individuals use to simulate the effects of drugs using nothing more than common food grocery supplies! All these acts are with the intention of somehow achieving a higher state of consciousness, a glimpse into the another plane of thought - Opening the Third Eye.

Why Synthetic Weed Should Be Illegal
I want to begin this by saying I'm not the typical person who you'd expect to see write an article about why synthetic weed should be illegal. I'm not a "concerned housewife," I'm not straightedge, nor am I even a Republican voter.
