Amy Winehouse’s Island Rehab
‘They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no. I’m not gonna spend 10 weeks have everyone think I’m on the mend …’ Amy Winehouse, Rehab
The Causeway is the world’s first private island rehab facility, offering treatments for alcohol and drug addiction, stress and overworking and general psychological problems. Amy Winehouse, of course, has already been and gone.
She spent less than 48 hours at The Causeway before leaving in a helicopter for London to have a brain scan. She met up with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil who took her to the London Clinic. After a night in the capital she flew back to Osea but left after a further few days. Others fighting addictions have stayed. The island clinic is fast becoming the rehab of choice for celebrities and the very wealthy.

Buying It From the Pizza Delivery Guy is so 1990s - World.Wide.Weed
Now you can just order pot online.
It came in a plain brown wrapper--two varieties of high-grade marijuana totaling a quarter ounce, delivered to a downtown San Francisco office building via regular mail. The pot had been ordered off a website in Amsterdam, members.xoom.com/drugsstore/, which is designed to look just like a Dutch coffee-shop menu. The site offers two types of weed and five types of hash, all pictured and listed on a pull-down order form with boxes to let buyers specify how many grams of each kind they want. After ordering, customers receive an email with an address on it. They're instructed to send cash. It's a risk, but in this case it paid off. The twentysomething professional who ordered it found the marijuana to be not only a bargain at $92 including delivery, but sweet, green and potent.

Mexico's drug killings 'soaring'
Drug-related murders in Mexico have already exceeded last year's total despite the deployment of 30,000 troops to tackle the issue, media reports say.
The Mexican newspaper, El Universal, said 2,682 people across Mexico had been killed since the start of this year, compared to 2,673 in 2007.
The northern state of Chihuahua on the US border was by far the worst hit.
President Felipe Calderon pledged to curb drug-related killings when he came to power in December 2006.

The Cheech & Chong Stock Market Indicator
Reefer, grass, the sticky icky, wacky tobacky, dope, the chronic, hippie lettuce, these are just a few of the names young people give to Cannabis, or Marijuana. But what is it about a plant -- a weed, really -- that can cause so much societal angst? Also, dry mouth, paranoia and a strong urge to snack? Wait, why are you looking at me like that? Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just reporting, man. I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were an officer. These sunglasses are really dark. Hahaha. Oh, my bad, I thought you said "Semper Fi Pockets." No way! That is not mine, man! Why are you hassling me?

Mexican Cartels Running Pot Farms in U.S. National Forest
Beyond the towering trees that have stood here for thousands of years, an intense drug war is being waged. Authorities uncovered more than $1 billion worth of pot plants in Sequoia National Forest this week.
Illegal immigrants connected to Mexico's drug cartels are growing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of marijuana in the heart of one of America's national treasures, authorities say. It's a booming business that, federal officials say, feeds Mexico's most violent drug traffickers.

The U.S. Gov't Revamps Its '50s Pot Propaganda
It's comforting to know some things never change... I guess. Here the U.S. Government feeds us the same old bull about "the dangers" of marijuana use.

The slowest bust ever as GPS equiped turtle leads police to marijuana plants
The hero of this little crime drama has a brain about the size of a raisin, so of course she has no idea what happened. She's a reptile -- but who cares? There's a drug suspect in custody, so let's credit her with the arrest.

Police community support officer Zally Huseyin, 46, a mother of five, was shocked when she answered the door to a team of colleagues who demanded to search her house.
The mistake happened after infra-red images taken by a police helicopter showed Mrs Huseyin's five-bedroom, £400,000 detached property in Lower Cambourne, Cambridgeshire was glowing white hot.
