- Politics | ACLU, Rick Steves launch marijuana campaign
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Steves, the Edmonds-based travel guru who five years ago openly acknowledged that he uses marijuana while visiting Europe, says he's not "pro-marijuana," but in favor of discussing the laws that affect the 830,000 Americans who are arrested annually under existing marijuana laws. About 90 percent of the arrests are for possession.

- Drug repository would help low-income folks
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  I have a better alternative, a legal way to pass these expensive meds on to people who need them: a drug repository. Wisconsin, Ohio, Georgia, Nebraska (since 2003), Maryland, Illinois, New York and Missouri already have drug respositories. Another half-dozen states are working to set them up.

Afghan with experience in planting poppies have been helping farmers switch to producing opium in fertile parts of Diyala province, once famous for its oranges and pomegranates, north- east of Baghdad.

- Cocaine Vaccine In the Works
  Posted by Jeff from Slashdot
  Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine are performing clinical trials of a vaccine that teaches the immune system to attack cocaine, preventing it from giving a high. The vaccine is made by attaching inactivated cocaine molecules to the outside of inactivated cholera proteins. When the immune system attacks the cholera proteins, it also 'learns' the cocaine molecules as well.
