		Drug used as an analgesic, similar to the real-world morphine.
		The drug was supposed to remove aggression and thus render the planet free of violence, but an unfortunate side effect was that the populace stopped working, eating, or caring about anything and simply gave up on life, dying in their newfound nonaggressive state.
		The drug is trafficked by the criminal faction known as the Outcasts (formed by the original settlers of Malta), and outlawed by all the major Houses.

		Drugs frequently included for some (but not necessarily all) other indications are listed in the Table.
		Pharmacists should not trivialize lifestyle drugs, keeping in mind that all drugs have side effects, and that the acceptability of the side effects is proportional to the patient's (not the physician's or the insurer's or the pharmacist's) assessment of the condition's severity.

	Love and Addiction: Introduction
		Drug researchers like Isidor Chein, Charles Winick, and Norman Zinberg have shown convincingly that it is not drugs that addict people, but people who addict themselves.
		The social history of America's evolving reactions to mind-altering drugs, even drugs such as marijuana and LSD which are not regarded as "addictive," tells us a lot about how we view our own strength as individuals and as a society.
		Those young people who suddenly repudiate convention and seek solace in drugs, or a religious commune, are only expressing tendencies that were always present in acceptable guises in their home and school lives.

	FDA Process
		This was the first time in U.S. history that drug manufacturers were required to test drugs, in order to provide evidence that the drug was safe, before it could be made available to the general public.
		The FDA does not become involved in the drug development process until after all laboratory and animal testing is completed and the drug companies are seeking permission to begin clinical testing on human subjects.
		It is estimated that only 5 in 5,000 drugs that complete animal testing ever reach clinical trials in humans and then, only one in five of these drugs will be granted final approval by the FDA after all testing has been completed.

	The Medicine Chest 'Villain': Roger Bate WT Op-Ed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Testing a drug during an epidemic in a poor country with less stringent trials regulations than in the home market appears opportunistic, and it probably was.
		To make a profit they obviously need their drugs to work and there is no doubt that they benefit from the swifter testing regimes abroad, but then so do we all.
		The drug approval process in the developed world has become so slow, with bureaucrats scared to approve anything that might be the new thalidomide, that it kills thousands annually by denying them the benefits of new treatments.

		On still another level, some studies coded verbal references to various substances; some concentrated on the appearance of a substance regardless of whether or not it was used; others focused on use; still others paid attention to a variety of character and context attributes associated with use or the frequency of use.
		Of the two studies concerned with illegal drugs, one tallied the number of television news programs, public service announcements, or documentaries that mentioned illegal drugs, and the other the number of 5-minute intervals per film in which illegal drug use appeared.
		Illegal drug use is seldom portrayed on television; the one prior study that examined movies also found low rates of illegal drug references.

	BeyondMass - Generic vs Brand name drugs....
		A generic drug is a copy that is the same as a brand-name drug in dosage, safety, strength, how it is taken, quality, performance, and intended use.

		Generic drug companies gained greater access to the market for prescription drugs, and innovator companies gained restoration of patent life of their products lost during FDA's approval process.

	Space 1999 Catacombs: science
		The barmycin range of drugs is fictional (although obviously inspired by penicillin, a group of antibiotics derived from the fungus Penicillium, identified in 1928 by Alexander Fleming).
		But on the flip side, we know that bacterial antigens (little markers on the outside surface of a cell that the memory cells recognize) and drug sensitivities do drift with time and geography, so perhaps contracting an illness upon arriving in the distant past is not too unbelievable as all that.
		The series invented some exotic sounding drugs such as metrazine (Matter Of Life And Death), mezadrine (The Troubled Spirit), somnol (Mark Of Archanon), dexetrol (One Moment Of Humanity), ionethermyecin and tymoxin (both in The Beta Cloud).

		These "reality shifts" generally lead to an understanding of the true nature of the universe - an effect that Dick, whose drug intake was as prolific as his fiction output, believed he had experienced personally.
		He had experienced not only the drug culture which surrounds the book's protagonist but also some of the hallucinations and delusions which Arctor and friends encounter there.
		Strangely enough, in 1974 the other drugs in his life were put to shame by a rank outsider: vitamin C, under the influence of which he had perhaps his most celebrated hallucinatory episode.

	Drug Policy Alliance: Drugs and Terror Don't Mix
		In the latest attempt to bolster public support (and funding) for the failed war on drugs, the White House has unleashed a slick ad series featuring fictional debaters, Nick and Norm, two middle-aged white businessmen dining at an expensive restaurant, talking drugs and terror.
		The illegal drug Americans prefer is marijuana, grown for the most part within our own borders by American citizens with no connections to international drug cartels, much less terror networks.
		But if the FARC and Northern Alliance were destroyed and every corrupt official from here to the tip of Chile died of old age, the drug cartels would still prosper, enriched by the drug prohibition economy.

		As the title suggests, Gould's life is explored through a series of thirty-two self-contained but interrelated vignettes, a structure inspired by Bach's "Goldberg Variations," the compositions that were the basis for one of Gould's most famous recordings.
		Fictional recreations, many starring an excellent Colm Feore as Gould, follow the musician from his precocious childhood to his early death at the age of fifty.
		Especially interesting is the film's mix of dramatization and documentary, as it juxtaposes its fictional recreations with actual interviews with Gould's friends and associates.

	SparkNotes: Go Ask Alice: Context
		While some people believe that Go Ask Alice is not a true diary after all, but the wholly or partly fictional work of Beatrice Sparks (one of the book's editors and the author of several fictional teen "diaries"), the diary indisputably evokes the drug and sex-saturated atmosphere of the late 1960s.
		Easier access to drugs and birth control and an unpopular war in Vietnam only solidified their desires as they followed the mantra of mad scientist Timothy Leary to tune in, turn on, and drop out.
		If the book is fictional, or a fictionalized diary, the author still allows Alice to speak in her own highly plausible language, with a first-person account that makes her experiences, foreign to some readers, sympathetic and realistic.
