Codeine is not a designer drug. It is a mild narcotic drug derived from the opium poppy, just like its bigger sister, heroin.

Some cough medicines still use it, but it is a scheduled drug under the narcotics act in this country.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy184/babel_36/yan_carn.jpg

To borrow an expression from Daphne, this young lady is Jose Herrera&#039;s handbag. She is invariably stuck to his side carrying his papers and &#039;things&#039;.

This is the very same Yanika Bugeja who reported a bus driver for being aggressive to an African man and who then ran to The Times to have her picture taken in a careful pose. Other people do their bit to fight racism and keep it to themselves. Not Dr Yanika Bugeja, who hopes that Jose will - ahem - sit up and take notice.

Jason, I am asking myself why I am replying to you.

What worries me is not what Jose has done to us, but what he may do if he becomes a Minister of Justice.

Now where is that green soap?  I stink.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am aware that a person could be accused of perjury if he had the intention of committing a crime or of thwarting the course of justice in giving false information under oath. I understand, as a non legal person, that it is not a matter of just telling a trivial lie when under oath.

The OED defines perjury as: “The action or an act of solemnly affirming the truth of a statement that one knows to be false, spec. (Law) of wilfully giving false evidence or testimony while under oath. Also, the action or an act of taking an oath which one does not intend to keep; the violation of a promise, vow, or solemn undertaking; a breach of oath.”

In consideration of the above I would ask the legal experts whether Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera has, in fact violated the oath she took on being appointed as a magistrate, when she signed a legally binding promise of purchase document (konvenju) to purchase a property together with Dr. Carmelo Galea, one of the parties in a case, involving two million Euros, which case she was presiding at the time, and to booth deciding in his favour.

Apart from this konvenju, but still with regards to perjury, I strongly suggest to your legal representative, to ask the magistrate in court, whether she ever tried to thwart or in fact whether she lied blatantly when under oath, at any time during which she was being investigated by the Commission For The Administration Of Justice.]]></description>

I think you are referring to GHB and it&#039;s not new, nor a designer drug in a sense that it is a naturally occurring chemical (in humans). It&#039;s like alcohol.

Codeine is a designer drug (a couple of molecules away from heroin and found in cough syrup), and a new one would be Meow Meow.]]></description>
