Season to be Jolly Here is a new take on substance abuse traffickers. We are all quite familiar with drug dealers and drug traffickers. It’s no mystery that in order to get drugs into the public hands for consumption you need to recruit sufficient amount of people to get the product out, and it would appear this is true with alcohol. The way this is done with drugs is to choose the right person who is sufficiently addicted to their drug of choice, cocaine, pot or prescription drugs like Oxy’s, etc. and offer them a way to cover their addiction expenses by selling drugs to others, keep the person hooked on drugs and selling it. This method works well for the drug trafficker, because a drug addict who needs his or her daily dose of drugs will do whatever it take to ensure their supply is kept coming, what better way then to sell the drug you are addicted to. Recent review of...

Drugs, Alcohol & the Xmas office party We are now on the doorsteps of entering the holiday season. This is such a great time of the year. Companies across the nation in every province from British Columbia to Nova Scotia including the Yukon will be working out the details in the next weeks to come for their employee Christmas office party. Unfortunately every year there are also some undesirable guests that show up like, Mr. Cocaine, Sir Pot & of course the life of the party Miss Alcohol. There is nothing wrong with celebrations to acknowledge fellow workers and to wish everyone a good year to come. The issue that has been in question is those parting people that just can’t enjoy a good time without a fountain of beer or hard liquor and for the others it’s the avalanche of cocaine or intoxicating pot smoke. Over the years there has been great attention on safe celebrations, the main media on this...

Crack Cocaine in Toronto Now that Toronto’s Mayor, Rob Ford, has confessed to his “alleged” crack cocaine use maybe we can get some real help out to those who are suffering with their own crack addiction. For anyone not familiar with Crack it’s quite simple; first you have cocaine from the coca plant, with the cocaine you take out any impurities by heating it with a mix of either ammonia or baking soda the result is a crystallized rock of purified cocaine. This form permits people to smoke it by inhaling the fumes from a pipe. Whereas the powder form is for sniffing or snorting but can also be injected. People who choose to use crack instead are looking for a more instant chemical effect than that with the powder form, but the addictive nature is much faster and possibly more difficult to quit. The media has jumped all over Mr. Rob Ford for his actions and rightly so. But what is...

Drugs,Politics and You You are the public; you are the voter and the individual in this society who has put your trust in the politician you believe to best serve the interest of your community. Yet suddenly we find the media bombarding us daily with city mayors using illicit drugs and promising to get addiction treatment and another south of the border arrested for drug possession and distribution of Oxycotin and a congressman also brought to light for cocaine use and given a leave of absence to seek drug addiction rehab. These are the politicians that we heard about due to media letting the public know, but how many are still in office that have not been caught yet? Drug addiction has no consideration as to social status, cultural background, age or sexual gender of which person to inflict. Drugs and alcohol addiction do not suddenly, one day to the next, magically appear. Even though the media defusing the news makes it...

More drug bust and problem still there Well, just this month there have been at least ten new drug bust alerts from across Canada, wow ten separate instances of drug busts. But to make news the drug bust must have some importance or some media known person involved or it doesn’t make the news. On any given day across Canada there can be a dozen drug busts of small time dealers and traffickers. To make international news the quantity must be significant and the operation by drug squads and enforcement officers must be important. Like the recent drug bust on the west coast with millions worth in Crack cocaine, crystal meth, guns, money, etc. The people involved in the drug trafficking business have been supplying a large portion of the west coast Vancouver area. Which than is moved in land and across the country to other major cities like Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto. In following the drug bust across Canada for the last...
