DRUGS, DRUGS, AND MORE DRUGS
For the last two/three days I have been writing an erudite piece on crystal meth, its manufacture and history. If all goes according to plan, it will be the cover story in next week’s LA CityBeat. In the meantime my media column in this week’s issue is mainly about marijuana.

I would also draw your attention to this bizarre story from Wired. It would seem like we humans are still so stupid that we piss in the river, but, at the same time, have the technology to analyze and measure the chemical content of the urine.
