What Major And/or Career Would Be Good for Me?

Question by : What major and/or career would be good for me?
I love working with other people, especially youth (3ish to teen). I have much interest and love volunteering and working with disabled youth. Also I have taken interest how judgement is portrayed in the world and how hard it effects teens. Such as self-hurt(cutting), depression, drug abuse, and teen suicide. I was wondering if people knew of any ideas of careers and majors for this type of work?

Anyone Else on Clonopin for Anxiety? How Do You Feel It Works for You?

Question by *Rena*: Anyone else on Clonopin for anxiety? How do you feel it works for you?
I am on clonopin for anxiety,and after having been on Xanax and Valium,I’ve found it’s the one that works best for me. How does anyone else that takes this medication feel? Does it work for you? Just getting a general consensus if this is one of the better medications for anxiety/panic attacks,but for me it’s worked great. The Xanax is far far too addicting,and caused me drug addiction problems for awhile,the valium just didn’t seem to work,but the Clonopin seems to effect me how I need it to. How bad does someone’s anxiety have to be usually before they prescribe Clonopin for it? I know that I’ve got severe severe anxiety,along with Agoraphobia, and the clonopin has seemed to help me the most with all of it. What have been other people’s results with this medication? It’s worked great for me,especially for the social anxiety problems that I have,but just for the overall anxiety in general. The others were ok,the xanax worked for a long time,but then it stopped working (developed a tolerance to it,and they couldn’t/wouldn’t up my dose) so I switched,and I feel that the clonopin has done wonders for me vs all of the other ones! I was just wondering what other people’s reactions to this medication has been?

How does the social problem of drug abuse relate to social institutions? I’m having trouble understanding the question. Any help appreciated!

Because when people (with a brain and a slight I.Q.) do drugs. They realize this world compared to the one they were tripping in is complete trash, therefore they realize social institutions are all illogical ballsh*t made up by old f*cks so they can fill there pockets at the loss of there citizens.

Question by : Does marijuana have carcinogens in it?
I saw the following on National Institute on Drug Abuse on the National Health Institute nih.gov site:

Numerous studies have shown marijuana smoke to contain carcinogens and to be an irritant to the lungs. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke.

Is this true? Thanks.

Is It Legal to Smoke Marijuana Without a Medical Prescription?

Question by goetjens: Is It legal to smoke marijuana without a medical prescription?
I was at school, and some people in my gym class were talking about stupid challenges (like the cinnamon challenge) and eventually got to the topic of marijuana. from my knowledge, marijuana is illegal, with the exception of a medical prescription. But what they were saying is that it is totally legal, even UNDERAGE. They are saying that there is no risk whatsoever, and saying that it is a great stress reliever, and saying that they have friends that smoke it underage. Now; I TOTALLY disagree with this, and will never consume drugs. What is the real answer? I just cant believe what they are saying. I know it can be different in different states. The state that I am concerned of is Michigan. Thanks.
Can I have an answer that tells me a bit more?
Like I said Mr. Fluffles, I intend to NEVER consume drugs, or marijuana.
Call Sign: Helio, It is marijuana, not weed. It doesn’t matter how many time’s somebody tries to convince me. I WILL NEVER DO DRUGS. I can pass plenty of courses/classes without drugs. Thank you very much.

I doubt it, even if you are highly suggestible. Those addiction tendencies will resurface, possibly under another guise, such as gambling, or sex addiction. (1) Detox. (2) Rehab. See section 52, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris ~~~ These calls are all FREE! Be sure to dial the “1” first.
