| Several interesting drug-related stories have surfaced on the typicalInternet news sites over the last few days -- from Afghanistan's opiumcrops to Serbian customs seizing 133lbs of Heroin! Let's start at the beginning, shall we? Quoted from Afghans May Use Spray on Poppy Crop posted on CNN.Com: Withprofits from this spring's record opium crop fueling a broad Talibanoffensive, Afghan authorities say they are considering a onceunthinkable way to deal with the scourge: spraying poppy fields withherbicide.This is all apparently the US's attempt at erradicating poppy crop production in Afghanistan. Feel free to read all about it. Another interesting story on CNN which I'm sure most of us have heard about by now... George Michael Found Slumped Over in Car... Again. Quoted from the article: Popstar George Michael has been arrested and cautioned after being foundonce again slumped over the wheel of his car in London and inpossession of cannabis, British media said on Monday.The Sun tabloidsplashed the story that Michael had been arrested across its frontpage. It was his fourth motoring incident in eight months, includingthree involving him being asleep at the wheel, the newspaper said.Howmany people want to bet that if the exact same thing had happened herein the United States, to any regular old Joe Shmoe, he'd be locked upwithin a month serving 10 years? Funny how celebrities like George Michael, Paris Hilton and Mel Gibsonget a slap on the wrist and maybe a few years probation when it comesto driving drunk or smoking less-than-legal substances -- but Godforbid you're an 18-year-old kidwith $60 of weed on you... then your siblings get handcuffed, your doggets shot, and you're hauled off to jail like an animal. I guess itreally is true... "Those without the capital, get the punishment." And in other international news, Serbian Customs Seized 133lbs. of Heroin: Serbiancustoms officers seized Tuesday at the Macedonian border 133 pounds ofheroin, whose market value was estimated at $2.3 million. TheCustoms Agency in Belgrade said the officers uncovered the heroin,wrapped in 120 packages glued with tape and stashed in a specially made"bunker" in a German car at Presevo, the town on a main highway insouthern Serbia, close to the border with Macedonia.Thearticle claims that the bust was made possible thanks to an"international exchange of data". I can't help but wonder how thatconversation went... 'Til next time. -- Posted by Amanda King http://www.nooked.com/news/itemtrack...0e141d107a32e1 More... |
