		Alcohol Addiction is a chronic disease characterized by a strong craving for alcohol, a constant or periodic reliance on use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, the inability to limit drinking, physical illness when drinking is stopped, and the need for increasing amounts of alcohol to feel its effects.
		Addiction implies that a drug dependency has developed to such an extent that it has serious detrimental effects on the user (referred to as an addict).
		The term addiction is inextricably linked to society's reaction to the user, and so medical experts try to avoid using it, preferring dependence instead.

		CAMH thus concurs with similar recent calls from many other expert stakeholders who believe that the control of cannabis possession for personal use should be removed from the realm of the CDSA and the criminal law/criminal justice system.
		CAMH recommends that a more appropriate legal control framework for cannabis use be put into place that will result in a more effective and efficient control system, produce fewer negative social and individual consequences, and maintain public health and safety.
		CAMH further recommends that such an alternative framework be explored on a temporary and rigorously evaluated trial basis, and that an appropriate level of funding be provided/maintained for prevention and treatment programs to minimize the prevalence of cannabis use and its associated harms.

		Under this new requirement, all Toronto area health care facilities are required to evaluate their wastewater discharge and take steps to reduce targeted toxic compounds, referred to as subject pollutants, through the development and implementation of a pollution prevention (P2) plan.
		CAMH initiated a thorough review of all its product use and processes to identify potential sources of the subject pollutants.
		CAMH significantly reduced its wastewater emissions of subject pollutants into the municipal sanitary sewer system, in turn reducing the overall loading on natural receptors (such as Lake Ontario) and preventing known toxic chemicals from damaging the reproductive ability of marine and aquatic species.

		-- The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), one of eight teaching hospitals affiliated with U of T, is standing behind its decision to rescind a clinical leadership job offer to British professor David Healy.
		Dr. Paul Garfinkel, president and CEO of the CAMH, sent a letter to staff members recently in anticipation of a story aired by CBC TV's The National.
		Healy, who was to have headed up the centre's mood disorders clinic, has maintained that the job was rescinded because of his outspoken views on the Eli Lilly drug Prozac and that Eli Lilly is a donor to the centre.

		Several days later the physician- in-chief and professor of psychiatry at CAMH wrote Healy, “We believe that it is not a good fit between you and the role of leader of an academic program....
		The distortion inherent in the administration’s emphasis that CAMH is a separate and uncontrollable institution is clear when one realizes that at the time the CAMH affiliation agreement was signed in 1998, the chair of U of T’s department of psychiatry was the president and CEO of the hospital.
		The agreement with CAMH, as with other affiliated institutions, makes it clear that the means for carrying out the partnership is primarily through the joint appointment of staff, i.e., the appointment of clinical faculty like Healy.
