Pills I found in my son's room?

Question 1
Pills I found in my son's room?...  I found some pills in my son's room. They are rectangular in shape and are scored in three sections. Each section has something on it. S 90 3. What the hell are they?

Answers
1)   The light green rectangular-shaped pill is a 2mg (or possibly a 1mg) dose of alprazolam, more commonly known as Xanax. It is a short-acting drug in the class of benzodiazepines. It is used to treat moderate to severe anxiety disorders and sometimes panic attacks.

It can be very dangerous if used improperly (i.e., without close supervision of a registered physician) and should be kept away from children and pets. One can build up a tolerance to the drug, resulting in dependence and eventually addiction. Overall, it is a dangerous drug.

I base these conclusions on past personal experience and medical research, but one should always consult a registered MD (Doctor of Medicine - from the Latin Medicinae Doctor). I hope this helps. - Jenna

2)   Pill imprint S 903 has been identified as Alprazolam 2 mg.

Alprazolam is used in the treatment of anxiety; depression; panic disorder; tinnitus; dysautonomia and belongs to the drug class benzodiazepines. There is positive evidence of human fetal risk during pregnancy.

Alprazolam 2 mg has a low potential for abuse. The drug has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. Abuse of the drug may lead to limited physical dependence or psychological dependence relative to the drugs in schedule 3.

3)   your son is taking drugs! these are xanax bars, he is getting messsssed up - Danny Danny

Those are 2mg Alprazolam/Xanax pills. - Mynem

5)   Xanax - Finny

6)   Ask him, if he has to hide aspirin from you then there is a major communication problem in that family. If my grandmother found medicine in our rooms it was at the table that night and we were asked about before we ate dinner. They could be chew chew Flinstone Vitamins, they could be steroids or date rape drugs, so ask him and give him the chance to explain. - Lawn Gnome

7)   u can use this website 2 identify ANY pills , such as the one u found right now or in the near future .


Lol , i 4got 2 put the link ::::::::::

8)   the pills on the street are someones prescription drug, and has letters and numbers on them. they are still illegal drugs. there are several ways you can do this. go through counseling at your local church, school or police station. which do you trust most? - John Whittington

9)   Xanax They are perscribed pills and can be Crushed up and snorted or taken orally, If your child does not have ADD then it will make him really hyper and attentative. They are not a bad drug they are legal if used by the person persribed. if i were you i wouldnt say anything they are not bad drugs at least you didnt find a syringe and some Heroin in his room... - Me

10)   .
By now I'm sure you have other info, but you can also try this yourself:: Google "PDR" and the Physician's Desk Reference will show up. Click on it, then you'll find a way to submit the S 90 3 into a search box and you'll get the information that others have also provided you with.

Xanax is used by a lot of people to help them relax, so they fall into what druggies call 'downers' an they are a prescription drug for a reason and are taken under the care AND MONITORING of a physician. 'Relax' in this case significantly lowers one's reflexes and judgment abilities, or put simply:: slow and stupid..

Question 2
is marijuana better then alcohol on a physical and mental level?...  nothing to do with the law here. just the effects.

Answers
1)   Unquestionably. - Glenda B.

2)   Apparenlty so yes. Alcohol is very very harming... - suefitz77

3)   socially alcohol has much worse effects

most of the evidence suggests that the claims about ill health from marijuana is exaggerated in the press.

however most people smoke it and its cut with tobacco which is very bad

also it burns at a higher temp and has been linked with mouth cancer

by preference I'd not take either. - mikeheuk

4)   No Marijuana causes anti social behaviour such as paranoia and schizophrenia and depression how do I know I have schizophrenia psychosis because of it. It makes you quite and not so say much to girls and that plus it burns your brain cells. You wouldn't want your doctor to be smoking pot compared them drinking occasionally. - Maker

5)   He who hesitates is lost - just get on with it - KATHRYN B

6)   Physically and mentally alcohol is a winner by a mile ,providing it is taken in moderation and not as a means of getting drunk (medically proven) where as weed is purely for getting stoned and as a result paranoid.(There are exceptions medically ) in many cases ,the latter is mainly for weak people with no will power or ambition,they just like to look dozy with a silly grin,at least the ones i know do. - wozza.lad

7)   Absolutely. I know quite a few alcoholics and alcohol abusers whose behaviour, personalities and lives have been dramatically changed (for the worse) by alcohol. A couple of them committed suicide through depression, some died in car accidents.
I know a lot of people who smoke and I've never seen the same sort of effects - nothing even remotely close.
I know a herbalist who has used cannabis very successfully in medications too.

Everything in moderation though! - zweebob

8)   Both are bad if taken in excess.But i believe marijuana is more harmful as it effects short term memory.But lets take the worst case scenario

Being an Alcoholic is still acceptable and people can live with/by your side.
Worst case scenario for Marijuana is drugged induced paranoia or psychosis.
So if you want to scramble your brain cells then Mary J is for you. - sam

9)   YES - Gr!s3L

10)   I'm seeing varying answers here, so I think it's safe to assume that any drug will affect users differently. But if you want to use drugs, either alcohol or weed, you will most likely have a favorite.

When alcohol is consumed, it's absorbed into a person's bloodstream. From there, it affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), which controls virtually all body functions. Alcohol actually blocks some of the messages trying to get to the brain (blacking out). This alters a person's perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing.

Some people feel nothing at all when they smoke marijuana. Others may feel relaxed or high. Sometimes marijuana makes users feel thirsty and very hungry - an effect called "the munchies."
Some users can get bad effects from marijuana. They may suffer sudden feelings of anxiety and have paranoid thoughts.

Question 3
anyone tried King Bio Homeopathic for nervousness?...  did it work for you and how good?

Answers
1)   Quite useless I am afraid. - Dr Frank

2)   What is this? - gamya

3)   Homeopathy does not work. Now it is official:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/5/12
http://www.jclinepi.com/article/S0895-4356(99)00048-7/abstract - A

4)   If I explain what this product actually is, perhaps you will think twice before buying it.

King Bio Homeopathic for nervousness contains: “Official HPUS Aconitum Napellus, Alfalfa, Argentum Nitricum, Arsenicum Album, Aurum Metallicum, Avena Sativa, Baryta Carbonica, Calcarea Phosphorica, Chamomilla, Gelsemium Sempervirens, Glonoinum, Humulus Lupulus, Ignatia Amara, Kali Arsenicosum, Kali Phosphoricum, Muriaticum Acidum, Natrum Phosphoricum, Passiflora Incarnata, Phosphorus, Staphysagria, Stramonium. Equal volumes of each ingredient in a Bio-Energetically enhanced pure water base. 10x, 30x, & LM1.”
http://www.iherb.com/King-Bio-Homeopathic-Anxiety-Nervousness-2-fl-oz-59-ml/9182?at=0

While it looks like there are lots of active herbal ingredients, it actually contains none of them. Homeopaths believe that ‘like cures like’ so their remedies are made by taking active ingredients that are claimed to cause similar symptoms to what the condition is, but make them safe by diluting them in water or alcohol. If you look at the end of the list above, you will see 10x, 30x, & LM1. These are the dilutions factors.

10X equals a dilution ratio of 10 to the power of 10, and 30X is a dilution ratio of 10 to the power of 30. These are extremely high dilution rates – 30X is equivalent to one drop of original substance in about 50 Olympic swimming pools. LM1 starts with a 3C (one part in a million) remedy. One drop of that is placed into 500 drops liquid (400 drops water, 100 drops alcohol) then one drop of that is placed into 100 drops of alcohol.

It is almost certain that you will not receive one single molecule of any original active ingredient in the bottle King Bio. If you think that’s silly, homeopaths think that the higher the dilution, the more potent it is. To make it even more preposterous, there is no such thing as ‘Bio-Energetically enhanced’ water – this is completely meaningless pseudoscience made up to sound impressive. And even worse still, classic homeopathy is dead against off the shelf treatments like King Bio, because it is only treating your symptoms (nervousness) and 'not addressing the underlying cause' which must be established in consultation.

So no, I have not tried King Bio – I wouldn’t waste my time with this witchcraft. Homeopathy has never been shown to work better than placebo, after 200 years and countless studies; and its not hard to see why.

Question 4
How long does weed stay in your system?...  Alright im up for a drug test pretty soon as i need to comply with my pre employment papers.... and i just had some hash last night(Baguio gold is da shiet),

i need to know how long should i wait before taking that drug test...

any extra stuff i should do to flush it out faster? any masking or flushing agents?

Answers
1)   .
Traces of THC stay in your liver for up to a month. In contrast, alcohol is undetectable after 2 days.

Poppy seeds will mask the THC in your system; poppy seed bagels and a pastry called 'hummenntashen' is chock-full of poppy seeds.

But really: is hash more important than a job or jail?
. - Dept. of Redundancy Department

2)   Oh, I have all the answers for you. lol I'm an experienced weed smoker(now retired) and have had to take plenty of these.

First off, it depends on how much you smoke and how regularly you do it. Usually if your doing it on a pretty regular basis it stays in your urine for about a month. It stays in your blood for a few days, and also stays in your hair follicles for years(untill you cut it)
If your not smoking that often though and this has been your first time in a while, then with my help you should be fine.

Best tricks to cleaning out your urine system faster. Get some cranberry pills! It cleans out your urinary tract. I usually take twice as much as the recommended dosage says since it's a vitamin source. Also, getting cranberry juice, but not the cocktail kind! Real cranberry juice.
Drinking ALOT of water. ALOT ALOT ALOT. Sweating also helps clean it out faster. If you have a gym with a suana in it I deff. say hit it up every day.
You should be alright with all this.
AND! at walmart or any of big shopping departments they have at-home drug tests for marijuana. I've taken it plenty times before as well.

Hope this helps! - Manda

3)   Recent scientific literature has been released that shows cannabis is detectable by a 20 ng/ml test for 3-4 days for infrequent users, 7 days for occasional users, and no more than 21 days for heavy smokers. Keep in mind that the average drug test is for 50 ng/ml so it could be considerably less time than stated. In addition, it all depends on your body weight as well. If you are skinny it would be less, if you are heavy set then it will be longer. Never longer than 30 days though. - freedom doesn't exist on earth

4)   u should always say 2 urself that it takes a whole month just 2b on the safe side . & drink plenty of fluids such as water , cranberry juice , ect. I also hear Monster energy drink is good too but im not sure . Theres also certain body cleansers that you can get at your local GMC , such as naicin . good luck on your test . - Gr!s3L

Question 5
When you smoke weed, are you concious?...  JW. Do you still have control over your body? Or does the herb take over

Answers
1)   you should have some control depends on what kind of sh*it it is - shaun

2)   you should be conscious, as for bodily control you will have a delayed reaction time as well as intensification of senses like colors will appear more vividly, sounds become more distinct, smell and taste sensation is increased.. skin receptors (heat cold and pressure sensors) can also be more sensitive... you may become more aware of automatic non-conscious muscle tensions, and small body movements that i suppose if you are really really high you may think you are loosing control of your body.. however the drug can produce lethargy and drowsiness so you could fall asleep and loose consciousness... - pinky brewster

3)   Hmm , whenever im high i still feel that i am concious . How else would i get up 2 get all my food i wouldnt b able 2 do that if i was UNconcious. lol - Gr!s3L

4)   yes , in fact herb expands consciousness. I am fully aware of my body, my breathing, and my desire for snacks. :) - Cactus Prophet
