"We got 250 joints out of 3 ounces!"
-= FOLLOWUP =-


How many joints can be rolled from 3 ounces of marijuana? "That's the greatest visual thing we have, because people are actually amazed at the amount of 3 ounces of marijuana," Heverly said. "It was worth the effort of all the hours it took to roll those joints."

The Nevada referendum is being bankrolled by a Washington-based group called the Marijuana Policy Project, whose chief benefactor is former Progressive Auto Insurance CEO Peter Lewis. He and two other like-minded men, philanthropist George Soros and University of Phoenix founder John Sperling, are the deep pockets behind more than a dozen successful drug liberalization votes since 1996.

Cannabis drugs pass testing 'milestone'


Cannabis-based drugs could be prescribed in the UK as early as 2003, following successful final-stage trials in patients with multiple sclerosis. Compared with standard treatments alone, the drugs significantly improved symptoms of MS and reduced pain caused by other types of nerve damage, GW Pharmaceuticals has announced. The company is the sole UK holder of a licence to cultivate and supply cannabis for medical research.

Just kidding Osbournes will do two more seasons
-= FOLLOWUP =-


Tactics by j.haider

On Monday, ABC released a transcript of Barbara Walters' interview with Sharon, which is to air Wednesday on ''20/20,'' in which Sharon says the combined pressures on her family of life in a media fishbowl and her own colon cancer treatment are too much for the Osbournes, and that they'll pull the plug on the show after the coming season. But late in the day, Sharon and MTV contradicted the interview, with Sharon issuing a statement saying the Osbournes would live up to their contract to shoot at least two more 10-episode seasons. ''I have every intention of fulfilling our commitment to MTV for a full 20 episodes,'' she said in a statement. ''I love my MTV.''

Don't Touch that Dial


Mobile phones packing Java virtual machines are gaining in popularity, and are headed for American shores. Will they be the next arena for malicious hacking? Java phones are coming to the U.S., bringing with them a second chance for mobile applications, and, experts caution, a new platform for malicious code.

"It's going to be an issue," says Tony Davis, acting CEO of Tira Wireless, a Toronto startup that certifies and publishes J2ME (Java 2 MicroEdition) applications. Davis already uses a Trojan horse program when he makes sales calls. "When I meet with European carriers, I pull up a phone and show them a car racing game that's actually not just that, it's sending a huge amount of traffic back and forth," Davis says. "I tell them, your customer is going to get a bill for 500 pounds at the end of the month, and who are they going to come after? You."
