I know, I know. You’re depressed. Its’s an oppressive, overwhelming, dehumanizing world out there. You’re single, your “friends” are all assholes, the summer sun feels like some cruelly ironic wink at the coldness inside your soul. But there’s good news: Weed is a thing! (And so are dabs, for that matter) A study published in Social […]
MDPV, methylenedioxypyrovalerone, or “bath salts” is a research chemical or designer drug of the stimulant class. In the UK, they have 4-MMC or mephedrone, which is like if coke and MDMA had a baby and I could put that baby up my nose. But I’m here to talk about MDPV… for now. Never listen to […]
Sometimes science is great, sometimes it is not so great.

The messaging service which allows users to send texts, sexts, photos, videos and group messages over Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE networks as an alternative to standard text messaging has provided quite a challenge for the Drug Enforcement Agency’s surveillance. An iMessage from one iPhone to another has proven to be nearly impossible to […]
Basuco, Colombia’s answer to crack cocaine, is a problem in Bogota. With an estimated .1 percent of the city addicted to the cheap, smokeable, insanely impure cocaine paste, officials may turn to a surprising but completely reasonable tool for treatment: cannabis. According to Univision and the BBC, Colombia’s capital plans to establish “controlled consumption centers” […]
Adding to New York’s long, rich history of people keeping drugs hidden in strange, uncomfortable places, a man at Lincoln Hospital’s psych ward in the Bronx was found with no less than 17 bags of white powder stuffed up his ass.
