Overweight bears slim down after seizure in drug raid near Canadian border
Two bears, overweight and ailing with broken teeth and claws when they were seized in a marijuana arrest at the Canadian border, are back in the pink of health, their caretakers say.
Corky and Pumpkin, seven-year-old sows that weighed 135 to 180 kilograms rather than the normal 90 to 115 kilograms when they arrived at Sarvey Wildlife Center in January, are also in better spirits, refuge owner Kaye Baxter said.

Navy storms N. Korea 'heroin ship'
The cargo ship, Pong Su, was intercepted Sunday by a navy warship after it refused police orders to stop off Australia's south coast. Troops boarded the ship using a helicopter and boarding vessels.
Police suspect the ship transported 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of heroin seized in the southeastern town of Lorne last week. Three men, from Malaysia and Singapore, were arrested last Wednesday and charged with importing heroin taken from the ship.

Feds considers axing potent pot
A strain of government-certified marijuana is extremely potent but difficult to grow, and may eventually be abandoned as too much trouble, officials say.
The flowering tops or buds of the strain, grown for Health Canada in a vacant mine section in Flin Flon, Man., contain between 20 and 25 per cent THC, the most active ingredient of marijuana, laboratory results show. American tests on marijuana seized by U.S. police forces suggest ordinary street dope averages about five per cent THC, with sinsemilla - considered the champagne of weed - averaging about 10 per cent.

High Holy Day for Potheads
The first of these days has already passed: April 15, tax day, when millions of Americans, according to the latest research, fail to pay billions in taxes. The other day is April 20 -- Saturday -- a day when thousands, if not millions, will "mow the grass." That's a polite way of saying that these folks get baked, blitzed, paggered, blazed, obliterated, perved, shmacked ... in other words, they get high, as 4/20 is recognized by many as "national smokers day."

LSD Takes Trip Down Memory Lane at Age 60
LSD, the hallucinogenic drug that launched a million trips for hippies, was discovered 60 years ago when a Swiss chemist accidentally inhaled a substance that made his bike ride home something special.
Albert Hofmann was actually trying to develop stimulants for the circulatory system in his Sandoz AG lab on April 16, 1943 when he mixed up a batch of LSD from ergot, a fungus that grows on rye.

60 Jahre LSD
Ein "intensives, kaleidoskopartiges Farbenspiel": So beschreibt Albert Hofmann seinen ersten LSD-Trip. Der Schweizer Chemiker entdeckte die Droge vor genau 60 Jahren zufällig in seinem Labor. Seit damals wollten sich unzählige Künstler, Musiker und Literaten von den psychedelischen (aber seit 1970 weltweit verbotenen) Halluzinationen inspirieren lassen. Mediziner debattieren noch immer über die therapeutische Wirkung der Substanz. Cary Grant empfahl hingegen nach einem Selbstversuch, dass alle Politiker LSD nehmen sollten.

Students make 'E' to pay off their loans
High flying science graduates are paying off student loans by manufacturing ecstasy and other synthetic drugs for organised gangs, the Observer can reveal.
Strict controls over the sale and importation of the ingredients needed to make ecstasy have led the gangs in charge of the multi-million pound trade to turn to chemistry students who can divert the substances from their legitimate research.

How can I know someone uses Marijuana?
While there may be no ABSOLUTE signs, here are some clues. Remember that one clue alone is less likely to indicate marijuana use than several together.
The person has rolling papers, small scales, or tiny plastic baggies... <CENTER>
