Cocaine underwear in Spain
Drug smugglers are seeking ever more inventive ways of smuggling cocaine into the country with two recent cases highlighted by the EFE news agency.

He’d been passed the drugs in a toilet by the Filipino crew member of an Italian ship who’d smuggled the cocaine on board the ship in Costa Rica.

Österreichischer Gefängnisdirektor für Legalisierung
Klar lässt sich eine Gesellschaft mit mehr Polizei kontrollieren. Aber will ich das? Man könnte ja die Spardiskussion ernst nehmen und sich die Frage stellen, ob nicht bestimmte Varianten der Entkriminalisierung und Legalisierung von Drogen deutlich weniger kosten als der derzeitige Kontrollaufwand und noch dazu ein sinnvollerer Ansatz sind.

Lords of the Revolution Ep. 104 "Timothy Leary"
From the moment Harvard professor Timothy Leary ate magic mushrooms in 1960, his life would never be the same. Advocating the use of LSD and other mind altering drugs to expand consciousness, Leary transformed himself from an eccentric Harvard professor into the leader of the 1960s psychedelic counter-culture movement. Leary's influence helped shape the music, fashion and politics of a new generation.
