...with most problems," says TIME medical correspondent Christine Gorman, "the easy improvements come first, then you hit up against the more difficult issues." The bureau?s statistics support the notion that those in jail or on probation constitute a "hard-core" population, a group that also has other drink-related problems. For example, more than half in both categories reported having been involved in a domestic dispute while under the influence of alcohol; about half of those in jail, and a third of those on probation, exhibited signs of alcohol dependency; and both groups experienced high rates of DWI recidivism...
...This is something that does happen from time to time,? says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman. ?Once in the marketplace, a drug is used by millions of people, but during clinical trials, it is tested on only a few thousand people. So occasionally a small risk will get missed in the trials.? Beyond highlighting the fact that safety watchdogs need to continually update the risk-benefit analysis of the drugs they approve, the Trovan incident also underscores a more ominous development. ?We are running into more and more germs that are proving resistant,? says Gorman, ?and as a result...

...latest rules are a baby step but a necessary first step," says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman. "If you want to study the medical benefits of marijuana, you can?t just buy it off the street. You can?t prove anything about the drug without some standardization, which means utilizing pure research-grade samples." There is evidence, for example, that marijuana can help fight glaucoma and help stem the nausea associated with chemotherapy. The new HHS policy will loosen the rules enough to make top-grade marijuana available without hassles to study these and other possible benefits -- and to help...
