Subject: Hey, not really a question
Dear Mark Elliot (or whoever is
actually reading this),
Hey there, I'm probably not your typical listener/writer you have on
your radio show or something. You see, I'm a recreational pot-smoker, (I
smoke every few days with my buddies) I've done acid, E, crack, and
shrooms, I smoke cigarettes, and drink alcohol with my friends. and I'm
15
years old. I am sick of drugs getting bad raps. I personally feel that
drugs have enhanced my life. You see, most people who do drugs
inevitably
decline, until they hit rock bottom and either check in to rehab, or end
up as a star of a funeral. Others just choose to slowly eliminate their
short-term memory by occasionally smoking joints for years upon years.

Marijuana
smoking damages sperm
| Men who smoke
marijuana frequently damage their fertility in several
different ways, research suggests.
Scientists at Buffalo
University found regular smokers had significantly less
seminal fluid, and a lower sperm count.
Their sperm were also more likely to swim too fast too
early, leading to burn-out before they reach the egg.
Lead researcher Dr Lani Burkman said: "The bottom line
is, the active ingredients in marijuana are doing
something to sperm."

RICH AND POOR
ADDICTS GET VERY DIFFERENT TREATMENT
|
Quentin S. -- a young
black man with little money -- is a drug addict, like most
of the offenders who show up in the drug court of Fulton
County Superior Court Judge Doris "Dee" Downs in Atlanta.
When he was arrested for possession of marijuana and
cocaine, she sentenced him to a regimen of drug treatment
and random drug tests.
But when Quentin
repeatedly failed those tests, Downs sentenced him to a
year's incarceration in a state-run detention center, where
he is receiving drug treatment. After his release, his
probation will require outpatient treatment for a year, as
well as intensive supervision.
Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand, is a wealthy, middle-aged
white man. He, too, is having trouble kicking a drug habit.
By his own admission, he is trying for the third time to
break free of his addiction to painkillers. But unlike
Quentin (whose last name is being withheld), Limbaugh is
unlikely to spend time behind bars. Nor is he likely to be
required to take random drug tests or report to a probation
officer.

York Times
Robert Downey, Jr., looking for
absolution.

So you're going to go all linear on me?'' Robert Downey
Jr. says. ''Killjoy,'' he adds, leaning into the tape recorder.
I had just shifted the conversation from spontaneous chat to
Keith Gordon's film adaptation of Dennis Potter's 1986
mini-series, ''The Singing Detective,'' in which Downey has his
first lead role after officially becoming free and clear of all
legal constraints and confinements since his arrest on drug and
gun-possession charges in 1996. (Free Registration Req'd)
