Janet Lee, 21, a student at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, was arrested at Philadelphia International Airport in 2003 after police and security officials thought the flour was an illegal drug. She was held in Philadelphia on drug-trafficking charges and released only when tests proved the substance in the three condoms was flour. The condoms, which are sometimes used to smuggle drugs, were a joke among the students, and Lee was taking them home to Los Angeles. Her civil rights case against Philadelphia, which had been set to go to trial on Thursday, was settled for $180,000, said Ted Qualli, spokesman for Philadelphia Mayor John Street.

If anyone saw the Mercer Report where Burton spun a joint, it was classic! You can view it here http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/drugs/boomers-reefers.html In Depth Drugs Boomers and reefers Are baby boomers flying under radar of drug abuse? Last Updated January 9, 2007 CBC News Pierre Berton works out on his 80th birthday, July 12, 2000. (Aaron Harris/Canadian Press) Not long before he died in November 2004, Pierre Berton, then 84, invited comedian Rick Mercer to his home where he demonstrated, on camera, how to roll a perfect joint. Before the interview, Berton told Mercer, "Bring the pot." When the interview ended, the iconic Canadian told Mercer, "Leave the pot." Berton had been using marijuana since the 1960s. He admitted that he had been a "recreational marijuana user" since then. "I enjoy the odd joint but I never go overboard," he told the Toronto Star. "I smoke about once a month to help me relax." Kind of cute and funny, we thought, but there was a serious edge to the story. Berton may not have been your prototypical baby boomer, but he did represent a generation not usually associated with illicit drug use. As with the boomers, Berton's generation tended to fly below the radar of surveys purporting to detail illicit drug use. This came to light this week in an article in the New York Times titled "This is Your Brain on Drugs, Dad." Writer Mike Males, a senior researcher with the U.S. Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, took issue with some studies on the use of illicit drugs such as marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine cocaine, hallucinogens, and ecstasy by both young and old. Unaware of rising drug use Males says society tends to be unaware of a troubling rise in the illicit use of drugs because many of today's drug abusers are in the wrong group. He cites David Musto, a psychiatry professor at Yale, who says wars on drugs traditionally have depended on "linkage between a drug and a feared or rejected group within society." Males says the fastest-growing population of drug abusers is white, middle-aged Americans, which he calls "a powerful mainstream constituency, and unlike with teenagers or urban minorities, it is hard for the government or the news media to present these drug users as a grave threat to the nation." Blair T. Longley, leader of Canada's Marijuana Party, says Males is on target with his essay. "Frequent consumers [of cannabis] are men with relatively high education and income," Longley told CBC News Online "However, it is poor young people who are seen to be the consumers. This social fact is typical in the way that it contradicts stereotypical prejudices. The public perception of pot is a standing misrepresentation. "People with education and income that consume cannabis are the biggest number, but they are rarely the ones that are seen to be cannabis consumers, and very rarely the ones that are arrested for cannabis crimes. Although young poor people consume less cannabis, they are seen to be doing it, and are those who are most frequently arrested for doing it." While there are similarities in Canada, Canadians tend to be more tolerant of what Americans call "illicit drug use" or "drug abuse," certainly when it comes to cannabis. Statistics Canada reported in 2004 that some three million Canadians aged 15 or older, or 12.2 per cent of the population, admitted using cannabis — marijuana or hashish — at least once in the previous 12 months (considered "current" users). Michael Tjepkema, author of the StatsCan study, says this represents a "significant increase in self-reported drug use over the past decade." Basing his estimates on data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), Tjepkema says that in 1989, 6.5 per cent of Canadians reported using cannabis, and by 1994 this figure had increased to 7.4 per cent. As for drugs such as cocaine/crack, ecstasy, LSD and other hallucinogens, speed/amphetamines, and heroin, the CCHS data in 2004 says 2.4 per cent of Canadians 15 and older used one of these drugs in the previous 12 months — up from 1.6 per cent in 1994. The most commonly used was cocaine/crack, reportedly used by 321,000 Canadians, or 1.3 per cent of Canadians 15 and older. As for cannabis use among older Canadians, those between 45 and 54, Tjepkema's 2004 study says six per cent admitted indulging in the previous year, which drops to two per cent among Canadians between 55 and 64. Drug abuse crisis? Males says in his New York Times article that a "Monitoring the Future" survey on drug use released in December 2006 shows a sharp drop in drug use by U.S. teens over the past decade. John P. Walters, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, says the decline in teenage drug use promises "enormous beneficial consequences not only for our children now but for the rest of their lives." Not so, says Males in the New York Times, citing a study by the National Center for Health Statistics that shows teenage deaths from illicit drugs have tripled over the past decade. "What the Monitoring the Future report does have right is that teenagers remain the least part of America's drug abuse crisis," Males says. "Today, after 20 years, hundreds of billions of dollars, and millions of arrests and imprisonments in the war on drugs, America's rate of drug-related deaths, hospital emergencies, crime and social ills stand at record highs." Longley says if the largest population of drug users are white, middle-aged Americans flying under the radar because they're not considered a threat to society, "it is but one of the tips of the iceberg of the social situation."

http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272610862.shtml THE BIG SCREEN SCENE: Grateful Dead fans have been debating the question of who should play the group's legendary frontman in a biopic about the late Jerry Garcia -- with names from Paul Giamatti to Jack Black to Charlize Theron (!) popping up on Entertainment Weekly's site, for instance. But it may be a moot argument. Producer Justin Berfield says he's already got his man in mind. As a matter of fact, "We've gone out to our top choice, and fortunately they're interested in it and want to do it," reports the 20-year-old former "Malcolm in the Middle" costar. But he's not ready to make the name public. "There's no script yet so that will take a little longer." Life after "Malcolm" has found Berfield busy -- very busy -- behind the camera. He has not only the Garcia biopic in the works, but Jessica Simpson's "Blonde Ambition" filming. Now he's focusing on his next movie, based on Doris Payne. "She's the 75-year-old jewel thief who was just caught three years ago. Her career spanned over five decades across four different countries," he reminds. "We have a script, and now we're just working on getting a director."

Thanks. I found it kinda weird that there was a LOT of talk about this (from Stallone) during the publicity tour.

How prevalent was Stallone's new Jesus messaging in the flick? Just wondering: "We need the God-fearing script, the script that really deals with compassion and deals with the word of Jesus and God, and believe me, people will rally behind it because we need it," Stallone said in a late November conference call to Christian leaders. "It's like, you watch some of the films, they only save these kinds of films for Christmas." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/12/20/MNGHCN2QNR1.DTL http://www.citizenlink.org/clcommentary/A000003061.cfm

Video here: http://168.215.70.72/media/070103_trey.wmv Phish singer could face felony charges Musician Trey Anastasio exits Whitehall Village Court on Jan. 3, 2007. (Photo: Dave Etzler / WNYT) http://www.wnyt.com/x11487.xml?ag=x995&sb=x183 WHITEHALL, Jan. 3 By MARK MULHOLLAND Saratoga-North Country News Chief View the video Click to view the video Ernest "Trey" Anastasio, the lead singer of the rock-jam band Phish, was in court in Whitehall Wednesday for his arraignment on misdemeanor drug charges. The 42-year-old musician was smiling as he left court with his wife and children by his side. But NewsChannel 13 has learned Anastasio had heroin in his car and it appears the district attorney is ready to up the charges against the former Phish front man to a felony. Anastasio was arrested last month on Route 4 in Whitehall after a patrolman saw him swerve over the double yellow line. According to court records, the arresting officer said “Anastasio was hyper and his hands were shaking very badly." Anastasio told police he'd been smoking hashish and taking pills before his arrest. According to court documents, "Anastasio admitted...he was in an argument with his wife earlier in the day...because he was taking the pills and he had a problem." Police searched his car and found more than a half-ounce of prescription pain killers—that's enough for a felony charge—and some anxiety medicine. In addition, there was one item that police couldn’t identify. NewsChannel 13 has learned from law enforcement sources that Anastasio also had a quantity of heroin in the car. Washington County's district attorney wouldn't comment on the specifics of the case, but said he plans to present it to a grand jury. Anastasio remains free on his own recognizance. After leaving Whitehall Court with his family, they hurried into a chauffeur-driven van and drove off. The district attorney says it is likely Anastasio will be ordered to take part in a drug re-habilitation program to avoid going to jail. Last Updated: Wed Jan 3 17:33:00 EST 2007
