Drug

A drug is any substance other than food, that when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin or dissolved under the tongue causes a physiological change in the body.

In pharmacology, a pharmaceutical drug or medicine, is a chemical substance used to treat, cure, prevent, diagnose a disease or promote well-being. Traditionally drugs were obtained through extraction from medicinal plants, but more recently also by organic synthesis. Pharmaceutical drugs may be used for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.

Pharmaceutical drugs are often classified into drug classes—groups of related drugs that have similar chemical structures, the same mechanism of action (binding to the same biological target), a related mode of action, and that are used to treat the same disease. The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System (ATC), the most widely used drug classification system, assigns drugs a unique ATC code, which is an alphanumeric code that assigns it to specific drug classes within the ATC system. Another major classification system is the Biopharmaceutics Classification System. This classifies drugs according to their solubility and permeability or absorption properties.

Shithead (card game)

Shithead (also known as Karma, Palace, Shed, Three Card Game and by many other names) is a card game similar to the Finnish game Paskahousu. In the game the object is to lose all of one's cards, with the last player to do so being the "shithead", who must deal the next game and may be subject to some minor forfeit of the group's choice, such as fetching the next round of drinks.

The game, and variations of it, is popular in many countries amongst backpackers, and as a result is widespread. Although the basic structure of the game generally remains constant there are often regional variations of the game's original rules.

Rules

There are many variations of the rules, and there is no universally accepted set. A common set of rules is listed here.

Setup

From a standard, shuffled deck of 52 cards, each player is dealt three face-down cards in a row. Players are not allowed to see or change these cards. On top of the face-down cards, they are dealt the same number of face-up cards. Three cards are again dealt to each player (face down), and this becomes the player's hand.

Drugs (journal)

Drugs is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Adis International (Springer Science + Business Media) that covers topics in drugs and therapeutics. Besides research articles, the journal also publishes "Adis Drug Evaluations and Profiles", evidence-based, single-agent reviews.

    [Chorus 3X: Dom Pachino]
    Fuck yeah, shit yeah, why not?
    Fuck yeah, shit yeah, we on the block
    [Hook: Infinite]
    We like drugs, bitch shove this up your nose
    Drugs, ecst' sprinkle on your nipples
    Drugs, I'm smoking, you blowing, do you
    We getting fucked up, you'se a sober face, dude
    [Infinite]
    I-95 stash box *sniff* moving large
    Move tons on the Metro like a drug cezar
    Keep my lines anorexic, I'm a modern Escobar
    In a boat, in a float, from a plane from afar
    If you crack, and got a blunt, if you pop and got a
    blunt
    Son, then triple stack, E pills rub it on your cut
    Got 'dro, got blow, kingpin, capo
    Got the best porito, your baby momma told me so
    Keep blue, keep red, hardly smoke, here's wrecks
    You can smoke it for free, mami, if you wanna give me
    head
    You'se a fiend, no problem, having troubles, I can
    solve 'em
    Got butter, here's a twenty clientele, keep revolving
    Fuck with me, frozen face white just like Montana
    One *sniff* of the pure, have you screamin' 'shit's
    bananas'
    [Chorus 3X]
    [Hook]
    [Chapel]
    Yo, I used to be in love with drugs when I became a
    thug
    I understood what a drug deal was
    You had to cook it up, lay it on the scale, get the
    mag' down
    This is just a double up, or could it be some more now
    Fuck yeah, shit yeah, sell it, make some more now
    Fuckin' with that raw now, P. done bought a store now
    Distribution caking up, everybody score now
    Investment, looking good, bout to go on tour now
    Yeah, that's really really hood, stacking up and down
    town
    Napalm, the ultimate, yeah, it's really on now
    Napalm, the ultimate, yeah, it's really on now
    [Chorus 3X]
    [Hook]
    [Dom Pachino]
    My first blunt, was the beginner for a sinner
    Next I'm on the block serving fiends like dinner
    Started out with an ounce of cheeba
    That I copped from a dred, in a spot on Cebra
    Ounce turned to a quarter, quarter turned to a half
    Half turned to a whole, I had to higher a staff
    Three up in the projects, three up in the 'burbs
    When I went O.T. is when I cancelled the herb
    That's when I met Flacco, in Tampa Bay
    On tour in '97, introduced me to yae
    Yae, I can cook it, they smoked it and sniffed it too
    Plus triple my funds, cop a condo, it's new
    Now let me tell you what a condom will do
    Have birds over my house, I'm daddy Perdue
    Now, let me tell you what daddy would do
    Wake up with three in the bed, they covered with goo
    Addicted to sex, confess it to you
    Addicted to music, Napalm coming through
    Now, let me tell you what Napalm'll do
    Make paper, fuck bitches strangle your whole crew
    [Chorus 3X]
