Anti-addiction drugs used to treat obesity.File photo dated 08/09/09 of an obese woman. Issue date: Friday July 30, 2010. Dramatic effects have been seen from a weight loss recipe that combines anti-addiction drugs with dieting and exercise. A group of obese trial patients put on the programme lost up to 6% of their bodyweight over the course of a year. US researchers, led by Professor Frank Greenway, from the Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, recruited 1,742 patients aged 18 to 65 for the 56 week trial, but only half saw it through to the end. Participants were randomly prescribed either a combination of the drugs naltrexone and bupropion or dummy placebo pills. See PA story HEALTH Obese.

In this photo taken May 13, 2009 marijuana grown for medical purposes is shown inside a greenhouse at a farm in Potter Valley, Calif. In the mountain forests along Californias North Coast, refugees from San Franciscos Summer of Love have spent four decades hiding from the law as they tended some of the worlds most fabled marijuana gardens. After all those years, several statewide efforts to legalize marijuana could finally let those growers come out into the light. But at a community meeting in the heart of Northern California pot country on Tuesday, many growers said they were more worried about the cost of legalization to their bottom lines than about any federal raid.
