May 03 – (Philadelphia) – Vito S. Guarino, Acting S pecial Agent in Charge of the Philadelphia Division of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) today announced the overwhelming success of the fourth national prescription drug “Take-Back” campaign held this past Saturday. 

Citizens in Pennsylvania and Delaware dropped off more than 36,000 pounds of expired, unused, or unwanted pharmaceuticals at 425 collection sites in Pennsylvania and Delaware. 

The 18 tons collected in the two states far exceeds the 21,000 pounds collected during the last National Take-Back Day in October 2011. Law enforcement officers stationed at the sites reported a record number of participants in Saturday’s collection. 

The substances collected will be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.

A sandwich bag filled with oregano has long served as the punchline for practical jokes on unsuspecting parents or gullible roommates. 
    
Fake marijuana has certainly come a long way. 
    
Sold as herbal incense under names such as K2, Spice, Genie and Wicked, a synthetic marijuana has legions of smokers around the country rolling it or putting it in their pipes. 
    
Banned in eight states, it’s legal in Pennsylvania — for now — and sold in head shops, at some gas stations and on the Internet. Yet this synthetic and chemically treated substance is potent and potentially dangerous. 
“Most people aren’t expecting it to be that potent. It’s overpowering,” said Roger Weaver, who works at Hemp’s Above, a Mechanicsburg shop that carries mostly smoking accoutrements.

PA Republicans Are Wrong on Medical Marijuana

Two bills sit in Harrisburg limbo as thousands of patients suffer

Do you want a Summer Six-pack? It's more than working out! Find out what it takes!

On Monday, the Daily News ran a cover story about the plight

 of Colleen Begley, a New Jersey medical marijuana advocate who is facing more than a decade in prison for possessing two pounds of pot that she says were destined for people with ailments ranging from migraine headaches to AIDS.

Get the Creatine that’s 26x STRONGER than all others - CELL-TECH HARDCORE! Only $35.99 at Bodybuilding.com. At first glance Begley’s case is not unlike thousands of others across the country involving American citizens who are being—or have been—
prosecuted under archaic drug laws that place pot in the same category as heroin (and treat it even more stringently than cocaine, which, as a Schedule II narcotic is deemed medically beneficial). Yet the fact that Begley’s story made it to the front page of a major out-of-state newspaper is indicative of shifting attitudes toward pot—and ultimately, I think, a growing distaste among most Americans for seeing otherwise law-abiding citizens assaulted (Begley was punched by police) and jailed for what most consider a relatively innocuous weed.
