What Exactly Is a “Human Services” Degree?

Question by jackdaniels16555: What Exactly Is A “Human Services” Degree?
I am looking at a grad school and they have a large “school of human services”. The degrees are all over the place though. They range from mental health counseling to health care administration to emergency management to various public safety degrees. Is “human services” just a code word for “crap we can’t fit in any other field”? It is obvious what other schools with in a university consist of such as “school of psychology” or “school of mathematics” or “school of biological sciences”.

Why Is Weed Made Out to Be Such a Huge Drug Like Crack?

Question by Mr.Explosion: Why is weed made out to be such a huge drug like crack?
Alcohol is legal, a horrible thing that’s gotten me knee deep in sh*T for how dumb it’s made me act. Something that weed couldn’t do and never has done to me. Some people have compared it to crack, well one thing is, weed is Natural, crack is made in a lab. Cigarettes cause more damage than weed does because of the additives. Even SCIENCE proved it to have beneficial while having little negative side effects. (Libertarian)
For you cons that are about less government, how is arresting someone for changing THEIR consciousness less government? Unless it made them act violent, but it doesn’t
I’m not a hippie in any way assh*le, I’m not a liberal or anything close to one, I just like weed and think it’s retarded that something like that is a crime when alcohol is legal
Why is this in politics you ask? BECAUSE POLITICS HAS EVERY REASON TO DO WITH WHY I CAN GET ARRESTED FOR ENJOYING IT!!!

Also I am not making this up. Someone -always- makes a rude comment -my- way. 🙁 Please help me. I guess it’s me since it seems not to happen to anyone else. I want to know what I can do to deal with these problems better.

What Can Percocet Abuse Do to Your Baby During Pregnancy?

Question by Amanda: What can Percocet abuse do to your baby during pregnancy?
A girl I know is due in August and has been abusing the pills before she found out and ever since she found out. She has been taking 5-8 a day. The doctor supposedly tells her everything looks/sounds good but I’m doubtful. Could something be wrong with her baby when it’s born? Thanks for any answers. She also has not told her doctor about her substance abuse.
Could the doctor be able to tell anything is wrong through listening to the heart beat? Or any ultrasounds? It’s not fair to make your baby suffer while you get high.
