* Illicit drug use cost business $3.3bn * Causing reduced workforces, absenteeism * Problem more "balanced business-type approach" THE authors of a new study showing illicit drug use cost Australian business $3.3 billion in one year say the law enforcement approach to drugs has failed to protect people and commerce.

The foundation said illicit drug use in 2003 cost Australian business $3.3 billion, or two per cent of that year's corporate profits. Reduced workforce, absenteeism The Three Billion Dollar Que…

How cannabis led my boy to become a heroin addict CANNABIS has, for decades, been seen in some quarters as nothing more than a hippy drug. Whether they call it ganja, weed, dope, grass, many people insist it's a harmless way to unwind.

Potential Drug Target for Stroke Identified New research by University of Otago scientists suggests some mechanisms in the brain targeted by cannabis could become drugs targets to counter brain cell damage after a stroke. Researchers from the Medical School's Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology have been the first in the world to show the cannabinoid CB2 receptor appears in the rat brain following a stroke. Their findings were published recently in the journal Neuroscience Letters. Dr John Ashton says the CB2 receptor is a protein produced as part of the body's immune response system. "This response is triggered by stroke and causes the inflammation that lea…
