This week’s episode is about hallucinogenic drugs on Tulane’s campus. Recently a very large amount of drugs, estimated in worth of tens of thousands of dollars, were confiscated from the Kappa Sigma Fraternity house. The drugs included MDMA, LSD, opium, and mushrooms, among others. This demonstrates the pervasiveness of hallucinogenic drugs on campus and how it has become part of the common “party culture” that we commonly see. We don’t want to tell people “don’t do drugs,” that’s someone else’s job! But we do want to explain the history of these drugs, what they are, and what positive or negative effects people should expect when choosing to take them.

The Louisiana Black Bear: No More Protection Needed?
http://www.bbcc.org/
The Louisiana black bear was first brought into the national spotlight by the well-publicized display of sportsmanship by Teddy Roosevelt. Currently listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, the Louisiana black bear is again making the news as some proclaim it has recovered sufficiently to be delisted, and even hunted.

Psychostimulants, such as Adderall or Ritalin, are one of the most abused legal drugs on college campuses. These drugs have become very prevalent within the college culture nationwide, particularly in high achieving students in professional schools. Although they prove to be helpful when properly prescribed to ADHD patients, they can also be very dangerous to those who misuse them. Dr. Holly Peek and Dr. Mordecai Potash discuss the good and the ugly of psychostimulants on college campuses on the first episode of Psych Gumbo.
