Do I Have a Case for Domestic Abuse?
Question by Sarah: do I have a case for domestic abuse?
What is the criteria for getting someone arrested for Domestic abuse?
Best answer:
Answer by El Jefe
This varies from state to state. In my state, some things that qualify:
Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to a person. Bodily injury means physical pain, illness, or the impairment of any physical condition. So, just slapping someone hard enough to cause pain counts. Even feeding someone a strong laxative concealed in food would count.
Intentionally or knowingly threatening another with bodily injury. “I’m going to beat you until you don’t know whether it’s day or night!” Just the threat counts, you don’t need to back it up.

Niacin is a vitamin, not an illegal drug. It is present in many foods. They will not test for it.
Even doctors do not test for it unless there seems to be a nutritional problem.
Be aware that taking too much of any vitamin can cause problems.
“Pharmacological doses of niacin (1.5 – 6 g per day) occasionally lead to side effects that can include dermatological conditions such as skin flushing and itching, dry skin, and skin rashes including eczema exacerbation and acanthosis nigricans”.

So, About Marijuana Drug Counseling…?
Question by Mary Grim: so, about marijuana drug counseling…?
i am a 16 year old junior in high school, and i smoke marijuana every once in a while in the safety of my home. i have no addiction to marijuana and i do not use it out of a constant need for escapism. i also have never and will NEVER try hard drugs.
it’s not like i smoke to get high and avoid my problems, i smoke to stimulate my appetite (currently prescibed to amphetamines for I-ADHD), to help me sleep (as opposed to using addictive sleeping pills), and to think outside of the box (my two passions are art and literature).
my teachers know me for being intelligent, mature, and hard working. i am enrolled in AP classes and maintain a 3.5 GPA. if you told them i smoked weed, i’m certain they wouldn’t believe you because i’m not the stereotypical “stoner”.
