Detective Neil here, at your service. The use of OPIODS has hit the headlines in the UK this week. (Use of painkillers up 80% in 10 years, costing the tax payer \u00a3263 million per year, 90% of cases they don’t work, 200,000 known Opioid addictions in UK, 16,800 deaths in the US from opioids alone, serious side effects etc…) This isn’t a chirpy post, and I know it’s Friday, yet it’s something I think is really important to talk about. What are opioids I hear you say? Street legal heroin basically. LEGAL drugs derived from the opium plant from which heroin is made. (Side note: did you know the ADHD drug, Adderal, is street-legal Meth<\/a>? No wonder it made me jittery when I tried it a few years ago). <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Somehow, these highly addictive and harmful drugs have been approved, whereas medicinal cannabis (here it is again), a plant – from Mother Nature – which has been proven effective in treating 400 health conditions including dissolving cancer tumours and alleviation of pain, is highly anti-inflammatory and is a powerful antioxidant, remains illegal. Did you know the US government has a patent on CBD (cannabidiol) as a neuro-protector? (meaning it protects the brain) Hmm… <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now. This Pharma company is the main source of wealth for the Sacklers family. Check this out: The Sacklers family have made donations to our ELITE academic institutions includingOXFORD University, UCL, King’s College. Some of our leading Schools Of Medicine. CONFLICT OF INTEREST, MUCH?!! Oxford University has received \u00a311m from Sacklers. (Side note: Do you know where education for already qualified doctors on the latest drugs comes from? Something to think about…are we all guinea pigs?? The book, Bad Pharma, by Dan Goldacre explains this in superb detail, link below. And yes, we are guinea pigs). Another side note, did you know that pharmaceutical drug side effects kill more than 106,000 people every year in the US – when used CORRECTLY, as prescribed by their doctors. We don’t hear about them in the news do we? (Link below)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
