World: Afghanistan’s cash crop, opium, won’t get destroyed anymore

opium0627
  • During the Bush administration, those fighting in Afghanistan fought the war on drugs head-on by destroying opium poppy plants – a huge cash crop in the country. The Obama administration is reversing this policy, letting these beautiful, drug-riddled plants live, but investing hundreds of millions in new crops that don’t get you high. But what’s the fun in that?source

Culture: Michael Jackson’s autopsy: Inconclusive. Wait for toxicology.

  • Another 4-to-6 weeks (at least) of lack of clarity. The autopsy of Michael Jackson, who was reported to have been injected with narcotic painkillers shortly before his death, has proven inconclusive. That means, yes, weeks of speculation of 24-hour news channels await us until we possibly learn the truth about what happened. Unless, you know, the toxicology reports also come up inconclusive. In which case, we’re screwed. source
