In Deep Shiitake

Attorney Scott Harvin says his client, Edward V. Spearman, 30, of Walterboro, S.C., is absolutely not guilty of possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms — a “large quantity” police found in his home – “in various growth stages.”

“No no no, Harvin says: they’re Shiitake mushrooms” – a completely legal and edible delicacy. The police also found Home-brewed beer, Harvin says. And what about the marijuana, which police said they found lying in the open? On that, Harvin had no comment.

A THOUGHT: I’m sure it was just oregano. Not!

Cops Didn’t Need To "Crack" This Case!

Upset that his cocaine dealer had given him the wrong change, a South Carolina man called police to complain about the unsatisfactory transaction and, of course, was promptly arrested.

According to cops, Dexter White, 41, called 911 to report that he paid his dealer $60 for crack cocaine, but had received only $20 worth of the drug. White contacted police with his consumer complaint around 4:30 AM Friday (an hour at which Better Business Bureau operators apparently were not standing by).

A North Charleston Police Department report notes that White, in a written statement, identified his supplier as “C,” and said the drug dealer refused his demand for “his $40 in change.” He added that he smoked the entire $20 worth of crack before calling 911.

In the 911 call, which can be found below, White initially (and inexplicably) asked a police dispatcher to send a canine unit to his location. He subsequently explained his predicament, which prompted the operator to ask, “Okay, you said you bought some drugs from them and they didn’t give you your change back?”

For his efforts, White was arrested April 29 on a disorderly conduct charge (for loitering where drugs are used or sold). He was booked into the Charleston County Detention Center, where White has previously found himself on many occasions, according to court records.

White, pictured in the above mug shot, is jailed in lieu of $400 bond.

Talk about NARC-oleptic!

A man called a cab in Chicago, Ill., and then passed out on the way to his destination. After about 10 minutes of unsuccessfully trying to wake him, the frustrated cabbie delivered him to the Rogers Park District police station. When police searched the man’s bag, they found what was apparently a miniature meth lab, complete with processed drugs with a street value of about $450,000.

 Police arrested Joseph A. Hoffman, 25, and released the cab driver without telling him exactly what his fare was carrying. “They said they found a lot of bad stuff,” the hack said.

A THOUGHT: He had $450,000 worth of meth and still couldn’t stay awake?!

The Verdict is in, but Court hasn’t even started…

The scene: Missoula (Mont.) County District Court.
The charge: Criminal Distribution Of Dangerous Drugs — a Felony.

The drug: 1/16th of an ounce of marijuana police found in Touray Cornell’s house. When potential jurors heard what the case was about, they staged a “revolt”, District Judge Dusty Deschamps said. Juror after juror being considered for the case said they would refuse to convict anyone over such a small amount of pot. Deschamps polled the remaining 27 juror prospects, and 22 of them said they would not issue a guilty verdict in the case, saying that even holding a trial for such a “crime” was a waste of taxpayer money. “A mutiny,” declared Deputy County Attorney Andrew Paul.

Cornell agreed to a plea bargain in exchange for a year in prison, to be served concurrently to a year’s sentence on a theft charge.

A THOUGHT: A citizen revolt on this  issue isn’t a surprise. That it happened in a courtroom is.

Just clowning around…

The 4:00 a.m. quiet in a neighborhood in Roberts, Wisc., was shattered by shotgun blasts. Sheriff’s deputies report that Archie R. Stone, 40, who was visiting his mother, was “not in touch with reality.” Once he was in custody, investigators determined that Stone believed evil clowns were attacking  his mother’s home, so he grabbed a shotgun to repel them. He fired about 22 rounds into the walls and ceilings, and claimed he had killed a number of the clowns. Stone’s mother and father fled during the rampage, and he fired at them, too, deputies say, but missed. Stone allegedly admitted to deputies that he was stoned on an unspecified hallucinogen. He has pleaded not guilty to reckless endangerment and firearms charges, and is undergoing psychiatric examination. (St. Paul Pioneer Press) …

A THOUGHT: Multiple rampaging clowns, a hallucination, One actual rampaging clown: Objective = reality.

German man arrested after snorting drugs off police car

A nightclub reveller was detained by German police after they caught trying to snort amphetamines off the top of their unmarked patrol car.

The 26-year-old was lining up the powdered drugs on the roof of the car in a disco car park, when the two police officers surprised him, a Nuremberg police spokesman said on Tuesday.

The man had no idea the vehicle belonged to the police, and it was coincidence that the officers – who were walking by their parked car – discovered him just as he was about to take the drugs.

“He’s got horrible luck,” said Bert Rauenbusch, police spokesman in the southern German city.

Quit Smoking : Or commit suicide trying!

Chantix (chemical name varenicline) is a drug sold by Pfizer to patients who wish to quit smoking.  The drug works by affecting dopamine, nicotinic and other chemical transmitters in the brain.

The rationale of Chanitx is that by activating these transmitters, a smoker’s craving for nicotine, and the pleasure a smoker perceives from nicotine, will be reduced. 

Patients taking Chantix have suffered dangerous and serious adverse side-effects.  These side effects include agitation, depression, onset of psychiatric illness such as psychosis, mania, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and hallucinations.

Chantix may lead to the recurrence of old psychiatric illness.  Some patients have attempted or committed suicide. Chantix patients have reported serious accidents, including car accidents, while on the drug.  In early 2008 and mid 2008, FDA issued an alerts about some of these serious adverse side-effects. While the rate at which these side-effects occur is not yet known, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices has reported that, by the end of 2007, Chantix accounted for more reports of serious drug adverse events in the United States than any other drug.

Pfizer has been slowly admitting that these Chantix side effects occur.  In November 2007, the Chantix label was updated to mention in a “post-marketing experience” section that Pfizer had received reports of depression, agitation, changes in behavior and suicide in patients taking Chantix.  In January 2008, Pfizer added more information to the label about potential risks of suicidal behavior, depression and other side effects.

As of 2010, Chantix is still regularly available to patients.

A THOUGHT:  What happened to the good ole’ days (not really that long ago) when people just grabbed a hold of their bootstraps when they wanted to take on a challenge, and simply said, “I can do this!”? Why is it that there is a drug for everything now. If I am too hyper, I can take a pill; If I am too sluggish, I can take a pill; If I can’t sleep, I can take a pill; If I am overweight, I can take a pill; If I am underweight… well… I can eat a cheeseburger, or two, or five!

Get a grip folks! For 10,000 years people have coped with life, stress and problems without a little pink pill and done just fine. You really can do anything if you put your mind to it… unless it’s the little blue pill (Viagra) you need. You can take those! Good Night!
