Judge rules Hempfest can be held
Ohio Hempfest, an annual pro-marijuana event at Ohio State University, will go on this weekend as planned, a judge ruled Friday. The event's organizers were notified Tuesday that the university was canceling the event, which draws thousands of people. University officials said organizers did not follow the rules and they were concerned about public safety. The festival's organizer, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, then asked U.S. District Court Judge Algenon Marbley to overturn the university's decision to cancel the event.

Grits to legalize pot
The Liberals are committed to carrying out their plan to decriminalize marijuana if re-elected, Prime Minister Paul Martin said Friday in the playground of a day-care centre.
Martin was responding to a question about whether a Liberal government would reintroduce a law to hand out fines - not criminal sentences - to people caught with 15 grams of pot or less. The legislation died last month when Parliament was dissolved for the federal election campaign.

McCartney Openly Talks About Taking Heroin And Cocaine
In an interview, which is to be published on Thursday, former Beatle Paul McCartney openly admitted to trying heroin once and using cocaine over a year while he was a member of the legendary pop group.
Paul said "I did coke for about a year around that time (during the recording of the album Sergeant Pepper)," he continued to say he would also smoke some grass to "balance it out". He admits he was never completely crazy with coke.
McCartney said "Even then, I didn't realise I'd taken it. I was just handed something, smoked it, then found out what it was." He also disliked "getting those terrible come-downs." Paul said he learned from an early age to do things in moderation.

Enter the dragon
'The Ford Estate was notorious in the Eighties. I wouldn't have wanted to live there. Always in the papers, always being vandalised, loads of drug use. One of the worst estates in Birkenhead. There was no purpose for those kids, no point, because there were no jobs. Norman Tebbit told us to get on our bikes, but it's quite hard to ride a bike to London on heroin.
