This hypothesis is further supported by an animal study that determined that aerosolized acetaldehyde but not ethanol induced histamine-mediated bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs (Myou et al., 1994). The mucociliary apparatus consists of mucus secreting cells, sero-mucinous bronchial glands and ciliated cells that line the conducting airways from the trachea to the terminal bronchi deep in […]

The process of creating moon rocks involves generously applying hash oil to a cannabis bud and then carefully rolling it in kief to ensure maximum potency. If you’re smoking your moon rocks in a bong, follow these same rules (to minimize oil loss, use an ice pinch slide). Again, if you’re smoking a high quality […]

DMT is a powerful substance that can cause several mental and physical effects. We rely on donations to continue to promote evidence-based information about drugs without political or commercial interference. While they may look similar, and have similar chemical structures, they induce different experiences and should not be confused. The presence of a sober sitter […]

Drinking alcohol may cause pain in the pancreas, or in some cases the liver, but can reduce the risk of gallbladder pain. The main cause of gallbladder pain is the presence of gallstones, and alcohol reduces the risks of gallstones occuring. Alcohol increases the risk of gallbladder cancer, but this cancer is normally painless and […]

Make meetings a priority – Join a recovery support group, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and attend meetings regularly. Spending time with people who understand exactly what you’re going through can be very healing. You can also benefit from the shared experiences of the group members and learn what others have done to stay sober. […]

Researchers have also suggested that red wine, in particular, might protect the heart, thanks to the antioxidants it contains. Alcohol is also a known risk factor for atrial fibrillation, which is an abnormal heart rhythm in one of the chambers of the heart, the left atrium. In atrial fibrillation, rather than pump blood into the […]

When babies have seborrheic dermatitis, it’s called cradle cap. You may find it on the skin of a baby’s scalp, eyelids, nose, and groin area. Cradle cap normally clears up on its own by the time the baby is 8 to 12 months old. Try putting mineral or vegetable oil on the baby’s scalp for […]

Recovering from the effects of Molly (MDMA) is a crucial step towards reclaiming one’s health and well-being. Recognizing the need for recovery is the first and essential step in this journey. In this section, we will explore the signs that indicate the need for recovery, the difference between recreational use and addiction, and the importance […]

A greater decrease in heart rate in ethanol treated rats compared with control rats during β-adrenoreceptor blockade with propranolol indicates that the ethanol treated rats had an increased sympathetic activity. An increase in sympathetic activity is consistent with impairment of the baroreceptors that, when activated, inhibit the sympathetic nervous system[45,47]. It is important to note […]

Having a co-occurring mental health condition and exposure to environmental factors can also increase the risk of developing a crack addiction. Crack is a freebase form of cocaine that is processed using water and either ammonia or baking soda, until it forms a rock crystal that can be smoked. Crack cocaine is also known as […]
