Drug trafficker killed by his own 500kg cargo of weed after it crushed him to death when he crashed car following police chase
A Brazilian drugs trafficker was killed by his own stock when he was crushed by half a ton of marijuana.
The man died after he lost control of his car and hit a tree, resulting in his stock of weed stored in the backseat shooting forward, squashing him against the wheel.
The driver was on the run from the Federal Highway police, who had taken up the chase after the smuggler refused to stop at a road block in Bataguassu, 210 miles from Campo Grande.

Gläubige konsumieren deutlich weniger Drogen als Atheisten
Junge männliche Atheisten rauchen und kiffen in der Schweiz fast doppelt so viel wie religiöse Gleichaltrige - Ihr Ecstasy-Konsum ist sogar fünfmal so hoch

Der Glaube ist also ein Faktor, der vor Suchtverhalten schützt - zu diesem Schluss gelangt eine Studie des Universitätsspitals Lausanne.

Schweiz führt Bußgeldregelung für Kiffer ein
Cannabiskonsum wird in der Schweiz seit gestern, Dienstag, 1.

Silk Road: FBI schaltet Drogen-Handelsplattform im Tor-Netz aus
Dem FBI ist ein großer Coup im Kampf gegen den Drogenhandel gelungen: Die Ermittler konnten anscheinend den Betreiber der Silk Road – einem berüchtigten Marktplatz für Illegales – verhaften und die Seite vom Netz nehmen.

Turn On, Boot Up, and Jack In With Timothy Leary’s Long-Lost Videogames
Timothy Leary was nothing if not an early adopter.
