I love to start my day and have a cup of coffee im not really getting a wake without it so cough is like a drug because its not just like a drug it is a drug is under the category of drugs or subsume all substances that are psychoactive the influencing the human mental set up coffee is definitely a drug ok our todays show is not about coffee its about drugs you know everything about it so welcome to.

Neuro enhancement is a new word for an old activity using drugs to enhance cognitive affective and motor performance. One type of neural enhancer became widespread during the 2nd world war nazi germany pumped it soldiers full of methamphetamine to make them better fighters it was marketed as perfect in. Civilians also took a fancy to the drug that banished tiredness and hunger and made to euphoric for a while you could even buy chocolates laced with it but speed soon became illegal in germany and many other countries because of the serious side effects. Still speed and many other drugs continue to be widely used for the purported neuro and hansing effect in addition to whether there are bitter blockers and modafinil and methylphenidate often called by the brand name ritalin. Is quick nor is a psychopharmacologist he says that less than one percent of the people who take the drugs are regular consumers which is probably due to the ambivalent effect they have. When you take such a substance the desired results are often offset by one side dont want motivation and alertness might be enhanced but other cognitive capacities will be diminished. One way psychotropic drugs work is by intervening in the flow of neurotransmitters increasing their concentration or activating their receptors. Neurotransmitters carry messages from one nerve cell to the next in the brain and throughout the body. Drugs can increase some neural activity but that also has side effects. Stimulants quite often cause headaches and some of the and loss of appetite they are quite common side effects if you mention im convinced it is of stance 9. In the more serious side effects such as delusions psychotic episodes and depression or current less than one percent of cases. As to my criticism of l. S. D. Which are now so popular among dynamic Young Professionals profess a cretin has words of warning. Extreme put 10 to l. S. D. Is a very powerful agent we know it can have serious side effects dark in the. The name who can from cause side effects of chronic consumption of small doses have so far not been researched at all. As l. S. D. Is the key to. My personal opinion is that one should not take l. S. D. Regularly not even micro doses call. The message is messing with the brain is a Risky Business if you want to do the stimulation without too many side effects a nice cup of coffee might be the way to go it has a positive impact on coke at a function. Its very tempting to focus your perception with different drugs or to stay awake so why do people take drugs is one of the reasons why theres a whole range of reasons why people do use drugs that ranges from avoiding unpleasant states of being too yeah achieving more pleasant states of being being more sociable being more emotionally open and there is a very individual factor in this too there are a lot of famous people too who took drugs like Thomas Edison the inventor or he was using cocaine or apple founder steve jobs he said taking l. S. D. Was one of the most important things hes done in this life so do you have to consume drugs to be creative and successful well thats a definite no because there are very many people who would never do that but there are people who definitely benefit in their creativity in their output in their approach to problems of creativity by using those substances and for those people it possibly be yeah they lable so theyre on one hand those creative people those inventors who are taking drugs and on the other hand i think one of the perceptions that truck uses you know dahlan in the social letter that theyre more like criminals so whats your perception of that. Well thats to do with the moral stance every society. Takes in these questions and it also depends on the substance to be honest for example the drug of successful people cocaine is thought of stigmatized in the drug people the junkie used to use heroin for example so can you justify taking drugs when you take it responsibly i think there are ways of using drugs in a responsible and. Socially compatible way. If that is a justification is always a question of legal social system youre moving with him and so we have to change the frames also in which we move to see what should be possible and what should different drugs that should not be taken because the risk individual and for society are too big ok like what for example nothing settlement really. Destroys peoples lives happiness their health and this for example my opinion cant be taken in a responsible way many drugs or region in the use in medicine so. Why do you speak from abuse or is it just because you take a lot of them. Use and abuse are terms that ply a value to using a substance so in every culture what is used and what is the use is defined by the social framework as ive said and firstly they are just fine with logical agents as any other drug. Like a bit of luck or something theres no big difference in the way with. The class action they take its just. Psychoactive substances are attractive to people because they dont only work for example in your heart rate like a bit of luck of what they are working on your mental set up at this point being and people like to yet change their mental set up in the way they wish to at this very time being what are the major Health Risks Involved with drugs. While there are direct health risks that come from the substance itself for example in m. D. M. A. Which is an infantryman like component people can overheat develop a certain insists and there are other harms difficulties that come from the fact that they are legalized that for example people hardly ever know. What they are getting if they buy a substance are they getting that substance how pure is it and they are not taught how to use it theres a lack of knowledge also you can cant look up how much ecstasy to use for example in the north from the tickle textbook lets talk about cannabis whats your opinion on that. But cannabis has been around since. Its part of our Cultural Heritage. The british ships would not have say without him for example so in the hemp production also the blossoms and. Calibers where around and people have always used what was available and. With the stigmatization that happened in the early 20th century especially in america but also here in europe we have lost a lot of knowledge and access to a substance that is in my opinion of medical value and that should be yeah open for use for those people who want to use it or need to use it where there is actually a role for discussion about legalizing cannabis its also here in germany. I mean that is you can we are essentially criminalizing 300000 people every year 240000 of them consumers put its ridiculous. Of us. We mustnt ignore the psychological impact regular consumption of cannabis can lead to a loss of motivation for. Their arguments for and against the legalisation of cannabis for recreational purposes. Among those in favor is hooper timber former chief of police in the german city of manchester. One of his arguments is that the risk of addiction has been proven to be far lower than with alcohol. Government commission on narcotics always says that alcohol is a part of western culture but ignores the fact that cannabis was a traditional medicinal plant and was grown here until the 1960 s. Even though by then it was no longer legal. Now that the medicinal use of cannabis is becoming more mainstream but the taboo surrounding it may be waning it. All the studies say the risks attached to alcohol are far greater than those for cannabis. Is one of them is legal the other is illegal and for me that is not logical. Stephanie bender is a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Cologne University hospital and opposes legalization he says it would send the wrong message especially to children and teenagers and he insists that cannabis is a gateway drug. Unfortunately its readily available on the schoolyards but many of our patients have come into contact with cannabis because its so easy to access and much more so than other drugs its the 1st drug that kids come into contact with they come to learn that the answer to problems in life to emotional problems is taking drugs. And as of stones losing. Arguments for decriminalization focus on consumers and consumption. Proponents claim probably bishan simply doesnt work. Its like. Us head of a Law Enforcement agency i had to deal with the consequences of prosecuting drug offenses each and every day so. I came to the conclusion that pressing charges doesnt have the desired effect what we do is constantly push up the costs for society of illicit drug use Law Enforcement agencies in germany spend about 5000000000. 00 euros a year on what is called the war on drugs. Basically its throwing money out of the window thats good. But to fund bender for once is legalization advocates dont seem to appreciate the health risks of cannabis consumption. And Addiction Research has shown that greater availability and easier access are accompanied by more consumption and more cases of addiction the greatest damage kind of this does is with respect to motivation and your mental state. Long term heavy use can even trigger psychosis legalization advocates counter that this may only be the case in people who are genetically predisposed they also argue that decriminalization means regulation and greater safety instead of dealers on street corners. The model i favor is one of regulation with the aim of pushing out organized crime so the profits have been outrageous. But what about the risks associated with turning cannabis into an above board business. Whats entirely unacceptable is for people to make money from the addiction of others including minors. And so the arguments for and against continue its too soon to say what the long term impact of legalizing cannabis is whether negative or positive. Decriminalizing not only cannabis but all drugs why i won so that im in favor of all drugs but i would like to see those drugs within all different classes of drugs that have been proven scientifically and medically to be left on little harm to the individual in the public to be decriminalized and thats for a very simple reason if you look around in europe you can see that those countries that have a very privileged. Stands on drugs that are very restrictive and very criminalizing and. Difficult the approach to the users have the highest amount of people dying in. Correlation to the drug use so making drugs illegal could be harmful as well the fact that it criminalize that people never know what theyre getting how pure it is what theyre getting if theyre getting what they want to do all makes it more harmful. Take russia for instance in the 17th century there were. Open noses in smokers and the other to me and. Even the Death Penalty was introduced for smokers and nowadays i mean smoking is one of the most used trucks at all so prohibition doesnt work at all what ever you declare for britain becomes more and more interesting and curiosity i wanted to try out is a very human response especially in young people but what about addiction every consumer dependent not at all but in most substance theres a certain amount of people who develop psychological or sometimes physical dependence but theyre usually also people who consume drugs on a occasional or even regular level without ever getting addicted ok but but when do drugs get dangerous. Well they do get dangerous if you have to increase the amount of substance you take in if you cant function socially or in your daily life without the substance anymore if you get up in the morning and need the pint of beer before you can face your kids or go to work you really have a problem. I mean lets talk about kids im a father myself a little 9 year 13 year old girl. They dont take drugs i think so but there will be a time when they get in contact with trucks at school for instance so as a parent what should i do to protect my child well i think in the same way that Sex Education should start early drug education should start early and if you encourage your kids to learn about the substances and if you show that youre interested in take a position where you dont judge prohibit only but also show that youre interested enough to know whats going on in their lives how they are developing and what substances they are getting in contact with thats the best space in my opinion to protecting your kids because eventually most young people will try out something at least in our culture and in my opinion if you as a parent have shown. Considerate care without judgment early on enough to make a big difference so even if the children are taking drugs because we could have you a question and she suspects that her son gets from time to time should she do something about it. Well it would be good to find out whats really going on because if he is an occasional can of his user with his friends in the evening yes she should mention the topic especially in context where a drug dealer is never just dealing with cannabis but also has a whole array of party drugs down to the op yards available for people you should be knowing whats going on but also theyre showing. Authentic concern and being in contact with that child is far better than well. Shaming and blaming it or even reporting it to the police as some parents do because theyre helpless so if you think that youve got a problem with drugs or if your child has got a problem with drugs who should you turn to. Well firstly it needs to be said that. Drug use for children. Youngsters teenagers young adults and pregnant women is never a good idea its always harmful to the developing human mentally and physically thats really should be something everybody is aware of and i think in most cultures as far as i know most countries there is a certain system of help available where you can go to drug counseling if this is not available to you for some reason because you live in a rural area or its socially too difficult to approach such a service your doctor or your father your pharmacist should be the person to talk to and hopefully you will find somebody who will be competent and help willing to help thanks so much for this very very enlightening and interesting talk and i know that youre addicted to in good shape and you know what im craving your emails.

You know the mantra fat is not good for you 1st it makes you fat and it kills you better screen cream its all not good for your health but what about olive oil and what about nuts good had bad fat. Weve been told so often that fat is unhealthy and bad for the heart that week. Tend to believe it. Theres nothing good about fat that makes fat fat fat makes you fat. And it really whenever i hear fats i go in the. Many kinds are not beneficial as part of the diet. But fats arent all bad and we cant live without fat in our diet good eating too much fat is a factor in the growing global problem of overweight and that despite the fact that in rich countries at least lots of fat produced products are available but in medical terms its all much more complex if it is if you reduce fats and oils too much you run the risk of replacing them with carbohydrates. Then you put on weight on your blood liquid levels rise. So is fat actually better than its reputation. It. Depends on what kind of felt it is good press is just fine and good and you could say i just i make everything with olive oil why because it tastes great and its healthy. Linseed oil is good for you. Maybe not oils to. You but all the rest arent. Medical science distinguishes various categories of fat there are other bad saturated fatty acids that mainly come from meat and dairy then there are other good unsaturated fatty acids found in many plants and some fish they can even lower cholesterol levels. That we know that the composition of all of oil is particularly good because of the unsaturated fatty acids a recent study showed that this composition even reduces cardiovascular diseases so you can in good conscience use a little more all of oil from where you can. But does fat consumption affect everybody the same way professor supply for the German Institute of Human Nutrition has been doing research with twins including peter shortcut and hike a boa he had 46. 00 pairs of twins eat a lot of saturated fat for several weeks nearly half of their calorie intake it turned out that each set of twins responded the same way however there were significant differences between the various pairs of twins some react more and others less strongly to the high fat diet. The conclusion of the study is that blood cholesterol levels are mainly a question of genes. Whether the cholesterol level is high or low is genetically determined through diet and can be raised or lowered by about 15 percent someone with a very high level wont end up with a low one by having a healthy diet yet the influence of nutrition on cholesterol levels is just not that great. Thats one reason why cardiologist melanie whom again has stopped telling her patients to stay away from butter entirely another reason is that current cholesterol lowering drugs are very effective. She says it would number less be very wrong to issue an all clear. Yet. We cardiologists have to be careful not to say oh eat what you like it doesnt matter have liver pate for breakfast sausages for lunch a burger for supper that would be totally wrong and theyre all packed with animal fats their cholesterol and fat bombs and they do make a big difference. To your exam of had a heart attack fare a p includes lowering his blood cholesterol level Heart Patients should be especially sparing in their consumption of animal fat in fact saturated fatty acids are bad for Healthy People as well. Do you look at of they influence inflammation processes in the body that play a role in the development of diabetes arteriosclerosis and dementia this can be demonstrated to come again we saw that very clearly in our study and that is another reason why saturated fats are not good for us if it was his and how twins are now more careful about the fact they eat not too much and not too little good ones not bad as we know some fats are much better than their reputation by.
