Its not surprising that there would be a link here because a while back, a Florida legislator's office had asked me for a copy of my Dept of Ed poster. ...

So while this study appears to have predicted the Oregon failure, it must be acknowledged that it was not a definitive study.  

...However, it in fact could be argued that yet again the theory is left untested, for policy changes that were intended to limit availability have failed, perhaps predictably.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Salvia Paper Publication Date</title><dc:creator>lange@aodinitiatives.org</dc:creator><category>Salvia</category><dc:date>2007-12-06T10:18:45-08:00</dc:date><link>http://AODinitiatives.org/iprevention/blog/files/4046b2cb302a599db5cf34a481baf320-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://AODinitiatives.org/iprevention/blog/files/4046b2cb302a599db5cf34a481baf320-2.html#unique-entry-id-2</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm told that our paper College student use of Salvia divinorum will be published online by the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence by about December 20th.

...Now, we need both very rare events to happen at the same time; on any given year, that would be a probability of 0.00000075 that a trash picker would get your medicine on any given day.  ...  All that seems so unlikely that it is not surprising that we don't hear any evidence that trash sifting is a common source of prescription drug abuse.
