The conventionalisms of drugs, sex, love and alcohol

It is funny how two unconnected pieces of research can relate to the same topic mixing youth, drugs, mental illness, emasculation and risk taking. Both studies are of course full of conventionalisms and made the reader think that nothing new has been brought to the eternal debate between the good or bad effects of drug taking or the eternal role that the hypersexualised attractive woman plays upon the innocent man who cannot resists her charms.

Nice Marylins take drugs too

To follow up on the ‘nice people take drugs’ campaign the world of antiquities has decided to donate to our campaign a proper vintage video of Marylin Monroe taking a puff of a joint during a gathering with friends. We are guessing that the Marylin portrayed in this video will be seen by the general public as more of a pioneer for today’s celebrities and politicians rather than a consumer, ever so occasional, of a class B drug. This is to confirm that ‘famous people take drugs’ too.

Prospects or prison: A young person’s brush with the law

It was in 1999-2000 when hip-hop got more and more popular in Poland. While listening to Polish rap music, I wondered what rappers meant by ‘smoking weed’ or ‘rolling a spliff’. When I was 13, I had my first opportunity to understand. Older school mates asked me If I wanted to “smoke some weed” before classes. Since it was a public holiday, we did not have regular lessons, except for a principal’s speech and a trip to a museum. I decided to abscond, and tried weed for the first time.

A man has been detained allegedly trying to smuggle cannabis into Mexico

A man has been arrested after allegedly trying to smuggle 23 kilos of marijuana, worth about £30,000, into Mexico from the United States. Officers from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested James Williams on October 25th after inspecting his vehicle and discovering the illicit drug. The discovery is unusual as it does not fit in with the usual pattern of drugs being smuggled into the US while high powered weaponry and US dollars are smuggled back into Mexico.
