One of leading hollywood heroines Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975, to Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand. At age 11, four years after making her film debut opposite her father in Lookin' to Get Out, Angelina Jolie began studying acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.Although her dream as a child was actually to become a funeral director, 16-year-old Angelina worked as a professional model in London, New York and Los Angeles. Musical groups and singers such as the Rolling Stones, Lemonheads, Meatloaf, and Lenny Kravitz cast her in their music videos, and even her brother James Haven Voight directed her in his student films for the USC School of Cinema.Wishing to get even closer to pursuing an acting career, Jolie studied at L.A.'s MET Theat

Matthias de L'Obel (1538-1616) was a French physician and botanist. He devised and published a system of plant classification, and served as the personal physician to William the Silent and James I. The plant genus Lobelia is named for him.A number of Lobelia species, including Lobelia inflata (Indian tobacco) and Lobelia tupa (Devil's tobacco), produce a piperidine alkaloid called lobeline. Lobeline is a nicotine-like stimulant, which explains why L. inflata is used by Native Americans and others in the know as a substitute for regular tobacco.Lobeline, like nicotine, really likes to bind to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. However, it is apparently less active than nicotine at these receptors and so can actually diminish the effects of the drug. This antagonism is the basi

After growing up in Baltimore, Maryland and spending some time in downtown Baltimore, I realized there was more to life than living in the Maryland ssuburbs. I started off snorting cocaine with friends and then one day I met someone downtown who introduced me to heroin. Heroin was great and so was cocaine, so I used them both together for a while (8ball) Well before long I had a cocaine addiction and heroin addiction and was in trouble. My heroin addiction led me to spending more time in Baltimore city as that is where the heroin was. Then one day, I was arrested for selling heroin and was put in jail. While in the Baltimore jail my heroin addiction was kicking my butt. I was so sick, I swore if I ever got out I would never use again. Heroin Addiction Recovery  I tried beating my heroin

ROMA - L’ultima vittima viveva a casa con i genitori al Casilino. Aveva 41 anni, era un tossico in cura al SerT. Non lo era invece il 48enne stroncato 4 giorni fa da un’overdose, sempre a Roma, ma in zona Prati, dove nello stesso giorno una donna di 40 anni è stata trovata senza vita a pochi metri dalla sede Rai di viale Mazzini. L’assassina è sempre lei. È tornata. Anzi non se n’è mai andata. L'EROINA. Tanta. Una nuvola, sempre più pura, purissima, fatta per uccidere, per dare sempre più dipendenza. Sta inondando l’Italia, affare senza precedenti per la mafie vecchie e nuove e per i trafficanti internazionali di droga. In altre parole: 589 morti nel 2007 mentre dall’inizio dell’anno solo a Roma siamo già a 26.dal MESSAGGERO del 30/03/08

Sharif Abdel Gawad-BNP candidate found in possession of heroin in December 2007Karl Hanson Drug Dealer Sometimes the depths to which the BNP are willing to sink can surprise even veteran anti-fascists. In their latest assault on Muslim communities, the BNP have started claiming that there is an intrinsic link between “Islam” and the heroin trade. In an interview on the BBC’s Newsnight, Nick Griffin, the BNP leader, accused Muslim immigrants of being responsible for Britain’s hard drugs problems, to which presenter Kirsty Wark responded: "I think there’s a number of people that would dispute that”. Presumably she considered his statement too far beneath contempt to argue with him. As part of their sick and distorted attempt to blame Muslims for the drugs trade, the BNP have i

Heroin addiction is one of the more difficult addictions to treat, making finding a quality drug addiction facility all the more important.

Tony BamberA British National Party member could face police investigations after he distributed hundreds of the leaflets across Preston which blame Muslims for the heroin trade in Britain. Tony Bamber, who stood in local elections for the BNP in Tulketh ward in 2006, denied being solely responsible for the distribution of the leaflets but admitted he was involved. Mr Bamber, 52, said: "The leaflets are not making a comment about the Islamic religion, they are making a statement about the activities of Muslims. "The leaflets were made by Preston Pals, a group of concerned indigenous people in the city." The question of whether the leaflets amount to incitement to religious hatred is now being considered by the Crown Prosecution Service. Detective Sergeant Graham Gallagher, head of t

A welcome present for friends at the front” was the slogan used by Harrods to sell a gift set during 1916. The pack designed with first world war soldiers in mind contained cocaine, morphene, syringes and needles.It wasn’t only morphene and cocaine soldiers could expect to receive to uplift their spirits, heroin was often legally sent in gel form to the front line by well wishing friends and relatives. Heroin in fact is a trademarked brand name, and the product was used to treat coughs in the form of pastilles, cough drops and cough mixture. The name actually comes from the word “Heroic” which is how the first people the drug was tested on described feeling after sampling it.The results of testing Heroin on animals had shown the substance to be non addictive and it was set to beco

A heroin rehab program in Florida seems to have attracted a number of heroin addicts in New York and New Jersey to access drug addiction treatment there. When the residents from New York and New Jersey were asked why they chose to come to a Florida rehab program instead of a New York rehab program they stated the rehab programs seemed more comprehensive down here. They had everything from heroin detox to their own halfway houses. When the Jacksonville, Florida drug rehab was interviewed it was true. This particular drug addiction treatment program had a heroin detox program, inpatient rehab, day treatment, outpatient rehab and its own recovery apartments. In addition, it had a four day family program and a seperate LGBT treatment center. It is no wonder people from all over the country travel to Jacksonville, Florida for treatment. If you are looking for a Heroin drug rehab or heroin detox program, you can call 1-800-99-DETOX and someone will be available day or night to assist you. B

I've always thought of heroin as morphine's older brother (cooler, tougher, associates with delinquents, popular with the ladies, etc.), which is funny, since morphine has been around since the opium poppy or whatever plant that preceded it first evolved the ability to make the compound. Heroin, however, was not brought into existence until 1874.Heroin was first synthesized by a dude named C.R. Alder Wright, who in addition to having lots of given names, was an English chemist employed at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London. Incidentally, Wikipedia has just informed me that St. Mary's was where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin AND where Elvis Costello and Princes William and Harry were ushered into this fair world (read: born). Fascinating.Anyway, Wright was fiddling around with morphine and decided to boil it with acetic anhydride for a couple of hours to see what would happen. This process resulted in the acetylation of the morphine, producing a semi-synthetic com

Troubled British rocker Pete Doherty has been captured on video injecting himself with heroin - just hours after claiming he was drug-free.The shocking footage, shot using a mobile phone, shows the Babyshambles frontman crouched on the floor holding a needle in his mouth. After staring into the camera, he starts 'cooking up' what is thought to be heroin and fills the syringe. The video then shows him injecting into his right tattooed arm and he slumps forward as the drugs start to kick in.A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "It's not the first time he's injected since he was supposed to have gone clean."He may have got clean through rehab, but as soon as the temptation is put in front of him, he cannot help himself. It's so sad to see. He's been given so many chances and so many fresh starts and he just throws them all away".The clip was allegedly filmed at Doherty's home in Wiltshire, England, on Friday (02Nov07) after he returned from the Mtv Europe Music Awards in Germa

Never trust a junkie as they will never tell the truth. Just moments before the footage was taken he told journalists how he was staying clean but still “missing an armful”.

I wandered into town this morning to finally get tattoo number six booked in. Stopped in Ottakar's afterwards to pick up something to read and found The Heroin Diaries on the shelf - I didn't think it came out until next week. I've just been in Starbucks reading it. I've got to the end of February 1987 and my God, it is harrowing. I've read extracts before but this goes beyond what I've already read. Sitting in the sun in the corner of the coffee shop and reading about this man in a world of pain - I defy anyone to read this book and think, 'I want that life'. I had to stop and walk home, chain-smoking all the way, because if I had sat there much longer I think I would have cried. My heart was breaking for this man I've never met, am never likely to know, but whose talent and music has given me so much. How could he stand it? How could he have lived so long like that? How the hell did he come out of it alive?The entry for 28th January 1987 is particularly enthralling,

Violent crime along the United States & Mexico border increasingly is coming northward into the cities of the American Southwest.Another visible effect of the cross-border crime wave is the flood of drugs into the country.Anthony Coulson, assistant special agent in charge of the DEA in Arizona, said records indicate that cocaine and heroin seizures might end up 2X as high as 2006. Marijuana seizures are increasing 25%; 9 months into the current fiscal year, he said, they had seized more pot than all of last year, "and 2006 was a record year, " Coulson said.In the Tucson sector alone there has been a 71% increase in marijuana seizures over the past year, with the U.S. Border Patrol reporting almost six hundred fifty thousand pounds grabbed since October. In Phoenix, deputies are working the unsolved case of thirteen illegal aliens who were kidnapped and murdered in the desert. Across the Southwest, dozens of high school students have died in the past 2 years from overdoses of Mexican "

I read the first article just over two years ago and at the time it literally blew me away. I could have written it. I know that I lived it. I searched for a long time hoping to find out what happened and voila, finally the aftermath. Enjoy!!! I tried it one last time after I wrote “I Miss You, Heroin” in November 2004. A month after the article was published on www.blacktable.com, I took my last shot. Sometimes in life you find yourself doing things you no longer need or want to do. This is epitomized in the awkward conversations you get sucked into when you’re spotted by a high school chum you no longer know. My realization, inevitably came to late. It appeared as the drug swam over me and numbness smothered my body. And that was that. When I came back to Sobriety, I knew it was the end. It wasn’t just the last shot, it was the last thought too. Hundreds of people asked me for my help after they read my story. They asked me how to quit, how to help loved ones, how to be stron

Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan cut a lonely figure during her second day at the Promises rehab facility in Malibu. Wearing dark red-framed glasses, skinny black jeans and zip-up jacket, the 20-year-old was photographed wandering around the centre on her own. Meanwhile, her estranged father Michael Lohan has made claims that the Mean Girls star suffers a number of addictions, including alcohol and the painkiller OxyContin. The drug, also know as Oxycodone, is regularly referred to in parts of America as ‘hillbilly heroin’ and has been linked to scores of deaths in the US. Lindsay Lohan wandered around the grounds of the rehab centre alone Michael, who recently served jail time for assault and driving while intoxicated, told E!

And I’m satisfied they are doing the right thing for her, helping her detox from the painkillers and things. That’s a ver

A man who swallowed a reported 51 balloons of heroin forced a Vietnam Airlines flight bound for Sydney, Australia to make an emergency return to Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat Airport after the man began vomiting nylon bags, according to the airlines security chief Tran Tien Dung. An hour and a half into the flight, a flight attendant saw passenger Nguyen Kant, 36, vomit a red nylon bag and lose consciousness. The airplane returned to Tan Son Nhat Airport. At no time was the airplane or other passengers in danger. "Our medical staff on land immediately suspected that the passenger had swallowed drugs as he showed typical symptoms of heroin shock," Tran told the Thanh Nien Daily. Doctors said that at least one balloon burst open, causing pure tar heroin to leak into Kant's blood stream. Hospital officials reported that Kant defecated 9 additional balloons and an ultrascan revealed 40 similar balloons of heroin still in Kant's stomach weighing more than one pound. There are no

Since decennia, Afghanistan has been one of the main producers of heroin. The plant, the poppy, grows easily, needs little water or care in general, and is easy to harvest: farmers milk opium resin from the plants which is processed into heroin and smuggled.Opium and heroin has become Afghanistan's runaway export success. At the end of the Taliban reign, the cultivation of poppy was outlawed, and the crops were eradicated, up to the extend that the UN Drug Control Program (UNDCP) had closed its offices in Afghanistan with a note "Job Done!".Since the fall of the Taliban, the poppy crop soared from 8,000 hectares in 2001 to a record 165,000 hectares last year. The street value of the annual crop is estimated at US$3 billion, representing about 90% of the world's heroin production. An estimated 2.9 million Afghans, 13% of the population, are involved. There are no cartel lords. Western officials believe trade is controlled by 25 smugglers including three government ministers according

It seems we have a new crisis of illegal drugs running rampant (Hat tip: Hot Air):As many as 17 Dallas County teenagers have died since 2005 from overdoses of the popular new form of heroin known as “cheese” – the most visible sign yet that more youths are caught in the grip of a growing crisis.The Dallas Morning News worked with the Dallas County medical examiner’s office to examine toxicology results from hundreds of autopsies and found more than four times as many cheese heroin deaths as previously reported.This new drug called "cheese" has been around for at least two years now, and appears to be made from a combination of poisonous heroin and legal drugs as well. It reminds me that even legal drugs can be dangerous if they're overused and without a prescription. Let's hope that this new type of traffiking can be stopped.

THE mother of the latest child adopted by Angelina Jolie is a money-hungry heroin addict who NEVER signed the papers to give up her son. And unmarried Vietnamese pauper Pham Thu Dung, 29, may even demand they give the boy BACK. Angelina, 31 — who has two other adopted chidren and one of her own — picked up the three-year-old boy from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh city 10 days ago and called him Pax Thien, which means Peaceful Verse. But the adoption papers were signed by his grandparents and may not be legal if the mother contests them. The child’s grandad Chien, 55, revealed: “Our daughter is a heroin addict and she is a bag of trouble. Her life has been ruled by drugs since she was 16. And granny Nhan, 51, added: “We are delighted he has gone to such a wonderful home. But my daughter is very smart — and she is also very stubborn, wayward and difficult.” Speaking at their rundown home in a poor suburb of Ho Chi Minh City, Chien, a former oil tanker skippe
