Germans tell government they want dope legalized, bestiality banned
German Chancellor Angela Merkel may spend much of her time trying to solve the euro zone crisis, but drug use, protection of animals and interpretations of history are more pressing issues for some of her compatriots.
More than 152,000 Germans have voted to make cannabis a legal drug in an online poll conducted as part of Merkel’s strategy to bring the German government closer to the people.
Outlawing sex with animals also proved to be an important issue, with more than 93,000 voting to scrap a 1969 law which decriminalized the sexual abuse of animals.

Labordrogen: Blindflüge in die Euphorie
Drogen aus dem Labor lassen Jugendliche nächtelang durchfeiern. Gefahren sind neben dem Suchtpotenzial auch gepantschte Substanzen
Sie werden Speed, Meth, Crystal, oder Arbeiterkoks genannt und versprechen Wohlgefühl, Kraft und Ausdauer - vor allem zum Feiern. Gemeint sind synthetische Drogen aus der Kategorie Amphetamine und Ecstasy und ihre Derivate, unter Fachleuten auch als MDMA bekannt. Die Stoffe lassen sich billig im Labor produzieren und kommen als Pillen mit obskuren Logos oder als Pulver auf den Markt, illegal natürlich.

Colombia decriminalizes cocaine, marijuana
Colombia has decriminalized cocaine and marijuana, saying that people cannot be jailed for possessing the drugs for personal use.
Anyone caught with less 20 grams (0.705 ounces) of marijuana or one gram (0.035 ounces) of cocaine for personal use will not be prosecuted or detained, but could be required to receive physical or psychological treatment, depending on their level of intoxication, according to Colombia Reports. Colombian Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon said law enforcement would continue its fight against drug trafficking, but would not make further comment.

Ten Great Reasons to Kill America’s Ban on Growing Hemp
America’s industrial ban on hemp is “a poster child for dumb regulation,” argues lazy ass pothead! Wait, sorry, scratch that. Make that Senator Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, introducing an amendment last week to the densely contested 2012 Farm Bill, which is either a subsidies and sustainability savior or callous food austerity, depending on who you ask. But if you ask Wyden, “the best possible Farm Bill” is one that repeals a ban on industrial hemp the United States is already quite busy, and expensively, importing from the few feet it takes to cross the Canadian border.
“I will be urging my colleagues to support this amendment,” Wyden announced last week on the Senate floor, reminding the assembled elected that his plan won’t cost American taxpayers a dime. “I want [them] to know I will be back at this again until there are smarter regulations in place.”

Drunken States Of America - DUI
For millions of Americans, the Labor Day weekend is the last big party of the summer.
For the cops and emergency medical teams of Maricopa County, Arizona - like their counterparts across the U.S. – it can mean chaos, blood, and violence.
Drunken States of America premieres on Thursday 28 June at 9pm and follows the mayhem that can be attributed to mostly one thing: alcohol!
Too many Labor Day revellers cross the line between a good time and dangerous intoxication.
The consequences can be severe, ranging from physical injuries to prison.

Cities Balk as Federal Law on Marijuana Is Enforced
Faced with growing chaos in the state’s medical marijuana industry, this city in Northern California passed an ordinance in 2008 that meticulously detailed, over 11 pages, how the drug could be grown and sold here.
Humboldt Medical Supply, a dispensary here in Humboldt County regarded as a law-abiding model that has given free cannabis to elderly patients, became the first to obtain a permit in 2010. The Sai Center, whose owner has a history of flouting city regulations and was described by the mayor as running his business “purely for profit,” was rejected last year.

Alcoholism is a problem that spreads far and wide, and is one that affects people of all walks of life. Many families are affected each day by alcohol abuse. The problem often goes beyond just getting drunk - emotional abuse, money problems, and even physical abuse can contribute to alcoholism.

Smoking First Day At The High Times Med Can Cup
To say it was just a “great” first day at the High Times Cannabis Cup 2012 – would be an understatement. The sun was shining, the crowds were out, and the meds were flowing. It was an interesting transformation to watch this peaceful and sleepy area grow, into the hectic, and smoke-filled hub of the bay area’s Med Can cup 2012.
