Ways to Pass a Drug Test http://www.ways-to-pass-a-drug-test.com Advice & Solutions for Drug Testing Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:56:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 Understanding Miranda Warnings http://www.ways-to-pass-a-drug-test.com/general/understanding-miranda-warnings http://www.ways-to-pass-a-drug-test.com/general/understanding-miranda-warnings#comments Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:56:23 +0000 Mark Owens http://www.ways-to-pass-a-drug-test.com/general/understanding-miranda-warnings You’ve heard them before. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” Typically, folks believe that a police officer needs to provide every individual whom they stop or with whom they speak their Miranda rights. However, that is not true. The Supreme Court has decided who needs to be informed of these rights and when.

While, Miranda statements are based on the famous Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona, the protections do not have their start in that case. Rather, the freedoms that we refer to as the Miranda rights are constitutional rights which the court decided needed to be provided to certain people in law enforcement custody.

The particular constitutional freedoms that are commonly referred to as the Miranda rights include the right to remain silent, the right against self incrimination and the right to an attorney during questioning and in court. The court also determined that the warnings contain at least the same level of specificity as it set out in its ruling and that the warnings be meaningful for the stopped individuals.

Most states add additional warnings to the typical Miranda warnings that they think are important for the people in their jurisdictions. For example, some border states require law enforcement to tell detainees that if they are not U.S. citizens that they have the right to contact their country’s consulate.

The Miranda protections need to be spoken by a law enforcement official to a person who is a criminal suspect and in law enforcement custody before they begin to question the person about the circumstances surrounding the legal matter. The person is considered to be in police custody if a reasonable individual would believe that his or her freedom to leave is impeded, regardless of whether the officers have formerly arrested the individual.

To make incriminating evidence admissible at trial, police need to provide the person with his or her Miranda warnings prior to retrieving the evidence. A suspect who is in police custody must be informed of their rights preceding any police questioning. If the individual is arrested and the officials do not intend to question the person then the Miranda statements do not have to be provided.

If you have been charged with a violent or marijuana crime in Neptune NJ, do not speak to the police. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. Talk with a local Freehold NJ criminal lawyer.

You should stick to this step by step process for a minimum of 21 days, as studies have shown that you need to do something for at least that period of time for it to become a natural part of your lifestyle.

Step 1: Write down what you want to achieve.

You need to write down your own personal goal of quitting smoking pot. By writing down your goal, you will have better success achieving it. Studies have shown that people who write their goals tend to reach their goals more often than those who don’t write their goals down.

Be specific in your goals. Write down the exact date when you want to quit. Write down the date when you wrote the goal down. Sign your name so you can stay more committed to achieving this goal.

Step 2: Know exactly why you want to quit smoking marijuana.

Why is it that you want to do this? Look deep inside yourself, and ask yourself what you stand to gain from giving this habit up. Once you know your inner reason, keep it at the forefront of your mind and come back to it whenever you feel tempted to smoke again.

Once you have clarity on why you want to quit, then you will have all the leverage and motivation you need to do whatever it takes to achieve your new goal. Without having clarity, you will almost certainly fail, as when you feel tempted to smoke again, you will have no real reason not to.

Step 3: Don’t keep it a secret.

It helps to share your goal with others. That’s because once you tell other people, there is that added pressure to really achieve your goal so you won’t lose face. You will also have moral support available to you when you most need it.

Step 4: Find a replacement activity.

If you are currently smoking a lot of marijuana, then the chances are that you don’t spend a lot of time doing activities other things. That is why you want to discover those passions that you used to love prior to smoking before.

The issue of whether marijuana has any medical benefits is all determined on whom you ask–should marijuana be labeled with the dangerous drugs like PCP and heroin, or is it a miracle herb that has an abundance of uses and is being suppressed by the government–perhaps its something in between: an herb with tremendous medical benefits yet with drawbacks, worth looking into.

As the political campaigning over medical marijuana continues, a small group of scientist are investigating the effects on how inhaled marijuana treats nausea, pain, and muscle spasms

The researchers point out that all drugs carry risks–when you look into most medicine cabinets in American households, you will find them filled with aspirins, antihistamines, and pain killers. What doctors try to do is weigh the positives versus the negatives of what the medicine can do and from there they reach a decision–why not for marijuana as well, some researchers are asking.

The truth, say researchers, is that marijuana has medical benefits that assist with those living with cancer pain, multiple sclerosis, nausea associated with chemo therapy, and chronic pain syndromes. Research has shown that the risks associated with marijuana are real but generally small. Newer medical discoveries of the medicinal benefits of marijuana have been since hindered the research team says.

Dr. Donald Abrams, chief of hematology and oncology at San Francisco General Hospital and professor of clinical medicine at UC San Francisco, says he sees cancer patients in pain, not eating or sleeping well, experiencing nausea and vomiting from treatment, and being depressed about their situation.

He notes that he finds joy that he resides in California where the use of medical marijuana is permitted by state law, even though federal enforcement continually raiding cannabis shops in the state and also scrutinize physicians who accept cannabis as a form of treatment for the patient.

“I can talk to patients about medicinal cannabis [and] I’m often recommending it to them for these indications,” Abrams says.

The use of marijuana for medical purposes has a history that goes back thousands of years. The plant was used all throughout Asia, the Middle East, and Africa for ailments like earaches, child birth, stress relief, and pain relief.

Medical researchers have recently began to investigate marijuana’s effects on various kinds of pain such as damaged nerves in people with HIV, diabetes and spinal cord injury; to cancer; and from multiple sclerosis.

For the past three plus decades, Dr. Reindhurst has studied the medicinal effects that nirvana seeds have been used in history. She has a web site full of information on the nirvana seeds and the many uses it has had throughout human civilization.

More specifically marijuana that comes from British Columbia. Canada’s economy is helped by the cultivation and distribution of marijuana, and in British Columbia alone, marijuana has become a $10 billion per year industry.

Unlike the United States, Canada has become very tolerant of private consumption of marijuana, and the laws in Canada have allowed the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Canada has become a safe haven and a popular tourist destination for those that smoke marijuana. Many have claimed refugee status because Canada has become a much more open and tolerant country towards the use of marijuana.

Within the past 10 years the marijuana industry has been booming, not only including the Marijuana Party of Canada, but there are numerous stores that cater to those who use marijuana including seed stores, and head shops. How marijuana was perceived in Canada 80 years ago is the same as how marijuana was perceived in the United States during the same time.

Canada’s recent policies towards the consumption of marijuana is a much welcome change from how it all began during the’30s. Not only is marijuana in Canada tolerated to a certain degree, but many of Canada’s citizens now understand through proper education that marijuana is much more beneficial than it is harmful.

Canada’s marijuana policies have allowed many of its citizens to earn a living growing marijuana with light penalties. British Columbia is seen as the Shangri-La of the Canadian marijuana industry because of the amount of grow houses that have sprung up within the past 10 years. British Columbia also has its own brand of marijuana called “BC bud,” marijuana has benefited Canada’s economy through other means as well. Including retail stores that sell supplies to the growers, and the growers themselves using their hard-earned money to purchase luxury items.

What makes the marijuana industry in Canada different from other countries is the fact that it is not directly tied to organized crime, a small percentage of it is, but the majority of the marijuana trade is run by small grow houses that can bring in around $2200 a pound. In countries such as Mexico their drug trade is synonymous with organized crime, and it is seen as a dangerous place to do business with. Most of the marijuana that comes out of Canada can find its way around various parts of the United States bringing in close to $6000 a pound the farther it gets from the Canadian border.

Canada’s laws, and general understanding of the medicinal purposes and economic benefits of marijuana have made Canada the world leader in marijuana use when compared to other industrialized nations. That may not be a proud thing for most Canadians, but considering the fact that the benefits of marijuana reach far beyond medicinal purposes, marijuana can be a good thing for Canada; as a commodity and for Canada setting an example for other countries to follow in the future. Once lawmakers in Canada realize the good that can come from marijuana it is only a matter of time for the world as a whole to view marijuana the same way that Canada does.

Another 15 million people with spinal chord injuries must cope daily with similar pains as those with MS, but also limited movement which takes away the sleep these patients need.

Several conventional medications are available to help mitigate some of the discomfort, yet they rarely provide the patient with total relief. These conventional drugs often times cause weakness, make the patient constantly sleepy, and has side effects that many of the patients find intolerable such as constant constipation.

Given this outlook, it is not hard to understand why some people with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries have sought relief through marijuana as it has shown to reduce pain and muscle spasms.

Patients of spinal chord injuries and MS also said they valued the drug because it relieved nausea or helped them sleep. A’82 study of people with spinal cord injuries, found that 21 of 43 of the case studies reported that marijuana lessened muscle spasticity (a condition in which muscles tense reflexively and resist stretching), while nearly every participant in a’97 survey of 112 regular marijuana users with multiple sclerosis replied that the drug lessened both pain and spasticity.

This study is not intended to show that all people who suffer from MS find relief simply those who use marijuana do.

Animal research demonstrates that marijuana reduces muscle spasticity. Spasms are theorized to occur in areas of the brain that manage movement, including various areas that have abundant cannabinoid receptors.

One such experiment showed that when rodents receive small doses of cannabinoids they become more active, yet when they receive higher doses they are less active

Many marijuana users also note that the drug affects movement, making their bodies sway and their hands unsteady.

It’s still unknown how the compounds of the cannabinoids create this effect. With all of the findings that suggest the plant has anecdotal properties, clinical research remains largely untested.

Very few reports are helpful because they are limited in the amount of people and in general hard to find.

Still, the lack of good universally effective medicine for muscle spasticity is a compelling reason to continue exploring cannonaded drugs in the clinic.

For three decades, Dr. Julian Reindhurst has studies the medicinal benefits of marijuana. He currently has a blog that gives the historical perspective of how nirvana seeds benefited other ancient civilizations. He also has a website site that looks at the medicinal benefits of the nirvana seeds.

Do you feel that your pot smoking has become a central force in your life and keeps you from doing the things you want and need to do? Would you like to learn new ways to relax and enjoy your time without feeling the urge to smoke pot? People all over the world suffer from weed addiction, and report feeling that they are in a haze or missing out on what life has to offer them. Marijuana use often starts as as a once-in-a-while activity to relax and release tension, but then becomes a default behavior to cope with stress. Once one is dependent on weed to ease their troubles or to give them something to do, it becomes an extremely difficult habit to break.

If you feel like you are under the control of a marijuana addiction or habit, there are three things you can begin to do to start breaking your habit. Quitting weed is easy for some people and difficult for others, but following these simple strategies will help you on your way to becoming weed-free.

The first step is to identify your problem and come to terms with it. Often people who smoke marijuana will think it is a harmless and “soft” drug, but curse it and swear it off when they feel guilty about it. Remember this: soft drug or not, it is still a drug. Even if marijuana doesn’t have detrimental physical effects, its psychological effects are much more damaging. The guilt and fear of being controlled by pot and not living up to your potential or taking care of your responsibilities can lead to anxiety and depression. If you want to quit smoking pot because it is having negative effects on you, you probably have a problem and need to take steps to fix it. It’s no longer “harmless”. It’s that simple.

Second, you must develop a plan or method to approach your addiction. To quit pot, it’s best to have a game plan for how you want to resolve your problem. For some people, quitting weed cold turkey works. Others who are very tactile develop their own plan of attack by writing out their goals and reinforcing them with their own steps of action. Most people find help in books, audio, or forums where they can discuss these types of goals and find support from other people. Get some materials that will get you revved up and inspired to quit and put them to work in your own way. The most important thing to remember is to stay with your plan, even if you relapse, because persistence yields results.

Lastly, don’t feel bad if you slip up one day. Don’t count your relapses as failures. It’s bound to happen when trying to break an addiction. Remember that no one is perfect, and almost nobody gets it right on their first try — especially if you have been smoking for many years. Each day you don’t smoke is a success, and falling back for one day does not matter in the grand scheme of things. As long as you keep a mind set focused on the outcome of being weed-free, and keep going even if you slip up, you will eventually reach your goal, and rid yourself of marijuana addiction.

Its uses can be traced all throughout Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

Medical research recently has also unearthed in the past decade marijuana’s effects on various kinds of pains. These range from damaged nerves in people that have HIV, diabetic treatment, and spinal injuries–marijuana has also shown promise to patients with cancer and Multiple Sclerosis.

Marijuana has also been speculated to help with nausea brought on by chemotherapy and antiretroviral therapy, as well as with severe loss of appetite as seen in people with the AIDS wasting syndrome.

Marijuana is effective with these actions due to the active ingredients of tetrahydro cannabinol (THC) and some 60 other cannabinoids, which mimic the action of chemicals that are known as endogenous cannabinoids, and exist naturally in the brain. Those cannabinoids activate receptors in our nerves, triggering physiological responses.

The only legal extract of THC currently available is Marinol however the results are not evn close to the effects of naturally smoked medical marijuana. Taken orally, its absorption is highly variable and unpredictable and often delayed, says Dr. Igor Grant, a UC San Diego psychiatrist who directs the university’s Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research. “Smoking is a very efficient way to deliver THC,” he mentions.

The consequences of marijuana being considered federally as a illegal drug, limits is use to specified clinics and to patients in states like Colorado that have created laws that allow marijuana for personal medical use.

The only research regarding medical marijuana, comes from the US government issued marijuana cigarettes that come in varying strengths and are supplied to the NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse).

The University of California Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research in San Diego helps coordinate clinical studies to investigate the safety and effectiveness of marijuana and they’ve discovered in their studies related to neuropathic pain, Multiple sclerosis, and nausea.

For the 30 years, Dr. Julian Reindhurst has studies the medicinal benefits of marijuana. He currently has a blog that gives the historical perspective of how nirvana seeds benefited other ancient civilizations. He maintains a site that looks at the medicinal benefits of the nirvana seeds.

The whole topic of marijuana addiction is riddled with controversy. It tends to get either all the wrong type of attention or just no attention at all. On one hand, the evidence that it is addictive in the same way that tobacco, caffeine, or cocaine is addictive is well – weak. Then you have the claims of real people talking about their marijuana addiction, and the description sounds like that of any hard drug addiction. Whatever the case may be, drug rehabilitation centers around the country admit thousands of users each year who seek help with their relationship to marijuana.

To say the prospect of going to rehab is scary or intimidating is only pointing out the obvious. For many, they say it’d be like going to prison – except you can still get drugs in prison! For the record, rehab is far from the prison experience. This article will take a look at what you can count on happening if you go into a detox program for marijuana addiction.

1. Expect a structured, scheduled environment. This means that you will be kept busy with things to do. Don’t worry, time is also certainly allotted towards relation, rest, personal interests, and so on. But what it does mean is that you will have a schedule you are expected to follow. It also means you will not have many decisions or choices to make as to what to do with your time in a broader sense.

2. Personal counseling and therapy. Expect to talk one to one with someone about your drug use, drug history, and your goals in life and your goals in coming to rehab. Personal therapy may be a staple of your rehab experience or just a spare activity.

3. Expect group therapy sessions. This will likely happen very often in rehab, going to group therapy. This provides a safe setting for people to share their stories, connect with another, and offer support to the group. You will not be forced to participate but you will probably want to do so after experiencing one or two sessions.

4. You’ll be given time to exercise. This means usually something simple like hiking but could even mean weight training or swimming, depending on the rehab facility. Exercise offers so many benefits, especially for someone in recovery, that most rehab centers want to get you exercising as part of your road map.

5. You will be given time for rest and even a sort of religious practice. Many people find strength in their faith during a drug addiction program, and rehab centers recognize this by giving you room for such an experience if you feel so inclined. No pressure is going to be put you on, but you will usually have time for “personal rest” and relaxation, which may include spiritual or religious activities.

Confessing up to a drug problem takes real bravery. Marijuana addiction is such as distorted subject in our culture that it makes it even harder when it’s a problem for you. Going into rehab is a huge step in taking control of that problem. By reading this article, you should be mentally prepared for what to face upon admittance into a marijuana addiction treatment facility.
