Neunzig Prozent sind von irgendwelchen Drogen abhängig

Cannabis solle legal konsumiert werden dürfen, allerdings nur von Erwachsenen: Das sagt Gabriel, der einige "Spice"-ähnliche Räuchermischungen entwickelt hat und anonym bleiben will, im derStandard.at-Interview. Er selbst rauche "zwischen zehn und fünfzehn" Joints am Tag, von harten Drogen wie Kokain rät er jedoch ab. Die Fragen stellte Maria Sterkl.

In Sinaloa, the drug trade has infiltrated 'every corner of life'
Reporting from Culiacan, Mexico -- Yudit del Rincon, a 44-year-old lawmaker, went before the state legislature this year with a proposition: Let's require lawmakers to take drug tests to prove they are clean.
Her colleagues greeted the idea with applause. Then she sprang a surprise on them: Two lab technicians waited in the audience to administer drug tests to every state lawmaker. We should set the example, she said.
They nearly trampled one another in the stampede to the door, Del Rincon recalled.

Day Tripper
In the circles where LSD eventually thrived, the moment of its discovery was more cherished than even the famous intersection of a fine English apple with Isaac Newton’s inquiring mind, the comic cosmic instant that gave us gravity. According to legend, Dr. Albert Hofmann, a research chemist at the Sandoz pharmaceutical company, fell from his bicycle in April 1943 on his way home through the streets of Basel, Switzerland, after accidently dosing himself with LSD at the laboratory. The story presented another example of enlightenment as trickster. As a narrative it was very fondly regarded because so many of us imagined a clueless botanist pedaling over the cobblestones with the clockwork Helvetian order dissolving under him.

Mushrooms, Christianity and the History of Christmas
The Pharmacratic Inquisition review by Martin W. Ball, Ph.D., author and host of the Entheogenic Evolution Podcast
The Pharmacratic Inquisition is a provocative film from Gnostic Media that makes the argument that virtually all of the mythology, symbolism, and story of Jesus and related Christian traditions relate to two basic subjects: astrology and shamanism. For those unfamiliar with the evidence in support of this claim, this film can be truly eye opening and revolutionary.
Much of the material for this film rests upon the work of John Allegro. Allegro was one of the original scholars chosen to translate the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient Christian texts that were discovered in Qumram near the Dead Sea in the middle of the 20th century. Unlike his colleagues, Allegro was not beholden to the Catholic Church and therefore was able to develop his theories and interpretations free from Catholic dogma. The result was the radical claim that Jesus was a psychoactive mushroom. In particular, Allegro argued that the mythology and symbolism surrounding the Christ figure all point to Amanita muscaria mushrooms, the iconic red and white mushroom so common in Christmas symbolism and imagery.

How Opium Can Save Afghanistan
America's drug war in Afghanistan has been a miserable failure. So why not legalize opium production and let Afghanistan become the Saudi Arabia of morphine?
Afghanistan may be one the poorest countries in the world, but by legalizing and licensing opium production it could conceivably become the Saudi Arabia of morphine.

JWH-018 in Spice: Warum gefährlich?
Der Autor dieses Artikels ist von Beruf Biochemiker (Diplom), mit fachlichem Schwerpunkt in organischer und pharmazeutischer Chemie.
Hier eine kurze Auflistung der wichtigsten Informationen zu Gesundheitsrisiken, möglichst einfach formuliert:
Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass JHW-018 im Körper zu potentiell krebserregenden Substanzen umgewandelt wird
JHW-018 ist wie THC fettlöslich. Durch diese Fettlöslichkeit lagert es sich im Fettgewebe an und kann dort auch längere Zeit nach dem Konsum noch in diese Substanzen umgewandelt werden
Es ist ungewiss von welcher Reinheit das in Spice verarbeitete TWH-018 ist, auch evtl. Verunreinigungen könnten gesundheitsschädlich sein
Reines JHW-018 ist übrigens weiß, mit steigender Verunreinigung geht der Farbton dann vom gelben über ins braune bis tiefbraune
Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass Spice eine Kräutermischung ist, lässt sich die Güte des verwendeten JWH-018 nicht an der Farbe bestimmen
JWH-018 lässt sich, im Gegensatz zu THC, sehr leicht überdosieren. Diese Überdosierungen können leicht zu Panikattacken führen

US hunts Caribbean drugs but odds favor smugglers
It was early evening and the crew on a U.S. Air Force surveillance jet was taking a hard look at a suspicious plane that had just taken off from Venezuela.
"He's not squawking," says Air Force Lt. Col. Bryan Dickson, the commander, meaning the plane was not broadcasting the standard signal to air traffic controllers. "Anyone not squawking is suspect."
