Just say no ineffective in winning war against drugs and latest craze,the N-Bomb

 25i compound

Just say no isn't working. This favorite phrase of the 1980's was part of President Ronald Reagan's program to rid the nation of drugs. It was an often heard phrase, part of a widespread campaign, launched by former First Lady, Nancy Reagan. But drugs are proliferating, with the latest called 25i, a substance that is described as LSD-like and that can create serious problems for users, as occurred with two adolescents in Sherwood, Oregon.

The Oregonian reported two teenage girls had been given the drug 25ialso referred to as N-Bomb, by a young man and were observed having seizures on the side of a road by a police officer in Sherwood. Sherwood is part of the greater Portland suburban area.

This newest drug to hit the streets has been labeled a Schedule I drug by the Drug Enforcement Division. Such a drug is defined as having an imminent threat to public safety. This one is labeled as a threat because it can cause serious health consequences that include agitation, seizures, hypertension, aggression, visual and auditory hallucinations, elevated white cell count, acute kidney injury and even death.

America has a particular style of drug use in that it crosses all cultures, ages, races and income levels. Much of this widespread drug use has happened as a consequence of the particular trend and national cultural climate at the time, that sparks a certain type of drug to become popular, or a variety of drugs to be in vogue. Experts tell us that young people turn to marijuana and LSD to explore their minds and perhaps change the minds of other people as well, which may be the reason for 25i's new popularity .

The country is losing the war on drugs, that Reagan once referred to as the nation's worst enemy, having taken its recent victim, Philip Seymour Hoffman, the great actor, found with 70 bags of heroin and various prescription pills at his home, dead from a drug overdose, unable to just say no.

Sex, drugs and Bon Jovi: agent's memoir fosters controversy

 NEW YORK,--GHN News Editor - Bon Jovi protests
his former tour manager's memoir said to reveal the elements of the
international star's rise to fame as part of a drug and sex fueled
odyssey.

 Richard Bozzett, former Bon Jovi tour manager, examines Jovi's life on the road that he says the star wanted to keep hidden.

"Jon Bon Jovi
has publicly condemned the book and has criticized me in the media
because I know a lot about Jon and the band that he would prefer to
leave in his past."

Bozzett
relays the story of Bon Jovi's colorful activities and racy life style
through a series of what are said to be never-before photographs and
details of drug activities and other details of Bon Jovi and his band's
excesses during their tours.

"Bon
Jovi fans deserve an inside look into the band's early years," Bozzett
explains. "Working and living with the band on the road from 1983
through 1989, I was there for every moment, and want to share it with
the fans."

"Our
inner circle was like a family," he adds.  The author of the
controversial book provides details of some of Bon Jovi's close
relationships with other entertainment figures and the type of pressures
tour managers had on them in managing the stars.  For example, Bozzett
describes how his former childhood friend and former Motley Crue tour
manager, Richie Fisher, tried to commit suicide by jumping to his death
from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

"That was the moment when I realized tour managers and road crews give
their all to the job without basic benefits like health insurance, job
security, or provisions for the future," says Bozzett about his friend's
attempted suicide and his own hard work in managing Bon Jovi.    "After
being unceremoniously let go without anything to show for my years of
hard work for Bon Jovi, I was lucky enough to persevere and find my
way," said Bozzett. "Richie was not that lucky.  I wrote this book to
create the Unsung Heroes Foundation which will provide basic resources
like health insurance and a 24 hour support hotline for anyone working
on the road and dealing with the 24/7 demands of touring, or at home
trying to get back to work."
