Federal Agents Make Huge Drug Bust In Fort Wayne


A major discovery in Texas leads to what possibly is the largest drug bust ever in Fort Wayne. US Customs officers stopped two trucks carrying ceramic pots at the Texas/Mexican border. Drug sniffing dogs alerted them that something illegal was onboard. Turns many of the pots had marijuana stuffed inside. Authorities say the pot was baked inside the pots, then sealed with a lead coating to hide the drug as it went through customs.

Cannabis bald auf Rezept?


Cannabis als Schmerzmittel für Multiple-Sklerose-Kranke könnte in Großbritannien ab dem kommenden Jahr auf Rezept erhältlich sein. Cannabis habe sich bei der Nervenkrankheit in klinischen Tests als wirksam erwiesen, teilte der britische Pharmaproduzent GW Pharmaceuticals mit. Das Medikament werde in den Mund gesprüht und über die Mundschleimhaut aufgenommen. Anders als beim Rauchen von Cannabis löse es als Spray nur einen minimalen Rauschzustand aus. GW plane nun, zu Beginn des kommenden Jahres die Marktzulassung bei der zuständigen britischen Behörde zu beantragen.

"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.

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.

Alcohol/Violence Bigger Danger Than Drugs in Clubs


Alcohol and violence pose more of an immediate health hazard than drugs for young adults who enjoy clubbing, researchers said on Tuesday. Drugs such as Ecstasy, speed, cocaine and heroin are a serious problem in clubs but assaults fueled by alcohol are the main reason clubbers seek hospital treatment. "There is a perception that clubbing is all about drugs and wild debauchery, certainly the latter. It is still primarily about drink," said Dr Chris Luke of Cork University Hospital in southern Ireland.
