Cannabis Cook Gets Baked While Baking
A cannabis cook is hoping to weed out the myths of baking with marijuana with a new video.
The weed-smoking chef calls herself "Watermelon" and is the host of a new dope cooking DVD, "Baked And Baking," that she hopes lights up interest in cannabis cuisine.
Watermelon says pot is a great ingredient, but warns a little goes a long way and a lot can make a whole party pass out.

Old missile silo used as a LSD lab
Folks living around the former missile silo figured something wasn't quite right. Maybe it was the vehicles coming and going from the complex when most people were thinking of bedtime. Maybe it was the unfriendly attitude of those hanging around the old complex.
Things started to make sense in November 2000, when authorities raided the site - and said they found enough chemicals to make millions of doses of LSD.

Ecstasy 'makes users depressed for life'
A generation of young clubbers is risking long-term brain damage by taking the drug ecstasy, according to new research published yesterday. Academics are now warning that taking only one or two pills can lead to lasting depression.
A two-year research study carried out by psychologists from London Metropolitan University found that people who had tried ecstasy on only a few occasions had depression levels four times higher than those who had taken a range of other drugs but not ecstasy.

Your Marijuana Tax Stamps Here
The State of Arizona has repealed the drug tax law. Presumably they didn't want to have to worry about whether a judge would finally make it impossible for them to prosecute drug dealers who had purchased the tax stamps. At any rate, you can no longer buy the stamps from the state for 35 cents each if you paid a $100 license fee. Now they are only available from other collectors, like me, who bought them while they were available. I still have both the original version, and the new reprinted version (after the big rush on the MJ stamps because of the court case described below). My price is $10 for each.

Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew in '74
The term medical marijuana took on dramatic new meaning in February, 2000 when researchers in Madrid announced they had destroyed incurable brain tumors in rats by injecting them with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.
The Madrid study marks only the second time that THC has been administered to tumor-bearing animals; the first was a Virginia investigation 26 years ago. In both studies, the THC shrank or destroyed tumors in a majority of the test subjects.
Most Americans don't know anything about the Madrid discovery.
