.... It can alter the heart rate, can lead to sever anxiety, and can cause paranoia and lethargy (Shalala 10). While all that is true, it does not compare to the effects of other harmful substances. For instance, alcohol’s cause of cirrhosis to the liver, and tobacco causes lung cancer and coronary heart disease. The plain fact that both tobacco and alcohol are carcinogens to speed up all cancers, are all good examples of how bad alcohol and tobacco can be. Alcohol is the source of half of highway fatalities, arrests, and homicide. Meanwhile it is accounted for a fourth of .....

.... Another purpose of quantitative techniques, which is used less often, is to focus strategic themes and arguments for trial. Nonetheless, quantitative designs have been strongly criticized (Saks, 1976), in large part because they tend to fall short when used as the principle methodology to anticipate the essentially dynamic character of a trial. The tactical environment of an ongoing trial is fluid. Quantitative methodologies appear to lack the requisite flexibility to grasp the changed meaning of issues as they emerge in the courtroom. In short, once a trial begins, pretrial .....

.... and probably widely used. The problem is that there are as many harmful effects from smoking marijuana as there are benefits. It slows reflexes, dulls the brain, and sometimes causes hallucinations and/or cancer. There's no mystery about why it is illegal in most parts of the world… including the U.S. There is a simple solution that is not being discussed by the hard- headed bureaucracy. THC is easily removed from the plant and could be administered as medicine in pill form. What a novel idea! No… actually it isn't novel at all. Many other forms of illegal drugs ar .....

.... it is still abusing your body, and your body's functions. Besides all that, there are also legal consequences. When someone takes Psilocybin Mushrooms in a medium size dose (1.25 grams - 4.0 grams), there are effects that are a little more serious than taking psilocybin in a small amount. These effects are things such as open-eye visual effects, lights gain auras, star-pattern effects, rainbowing around lighting, increased peripheral vision, sometimes either increased or decreased ability to focus, and other "visions". These are very typical effects of a hallucinogen. These .....

.... is free. I feel that the police department has an obligation to make sure everybody that wants to know about the half way house does. It shouldn't matter who lives in the house. They just got out of prison, so they must have committed some sort of bad crime. Nowadays it is hard to actually go to prison unless you commit such a bad crime as murder or rape-murder. If the Mrs. Kanka had warned her children about that place this might not have ever happened. Also why give a person who might actually be rehabilitated any more problems than they will already have when t .....

.... as a result, 1000 or more persons were sentenced to death each year (although most sentences were commuted by royal pardon). In the American colonies before the Revolution, the death penalty was commonly authorized for a wide variety of crimes. Blacks, whether slave or free, were threatened with death for many crimes that were punished less severely when committed by whites. The Reform Movement Efforts to abolish the death penalty did not gather momentum until the end of the 18th century; in England and America this reform was led by the Quakers (Society of Friends). In Eur .....

.... Supporters of the death penalty believe it is a better deterrent than imprisonment because taking an offender’s life is a more severe punishment. They also argue that no adequate deterrent in life imprisonment is effective for those already serving a life term who commits murder while incarcerated, those who have not yet been caught but who would be liable to a life term if arrested, revolutionaries, terrorists, traitors, and spies. The classic moral arguments in favor of the death penalty have been scriptural and retributive. For example, the statement from the Bible that “ .....

.... government spends at least $10 billion a year on drug enforcement programs and spends many billions more on drug-related crimes and punishment. The estimated cost to the United States for the "War on Drugs" is $200 billion a year or an outstanding $770 per person per year, and that figure does not include the money spent by state and local government in this "war" (Evans and Berent, eds. xvii). The second cost of this "war" is something economist like to call opportunity costs. Here, we have two resources which are limited: prison cells and law enforcement. When more dr .....
