High Times.
The widely publicised
legalisation of marijuana sales in
the US state of Colorado last week
may have come just in time for
Aussie pharmacists heading to
resorts such as Vail or Aspen for
their northern winter holidays.
The move has seen 24 legal
drug shops open across the state
already, as well as signs erected
at Denver International Airport
warning travellers not to take
cannabis home with them.
As you’d expect, the sensation
has led to many puns and plays
on words, with one of the most
popular being that in Colorado it’s
now much easier to get a Rocky
Mountain high.
NO brainer
Apparently you can buy almost
anything on eBay - a 21 year old
California man has been arrested
after allegedly stealing human
brain samples from a medical
history museum and selling them
on the auction website.
David Charles was arrested in
mid December after investigators
were contacted by a man who
became suspicious when buying
six jars of brain tissue on eBay for
$US600 (plus $US70 shipping).
The Indianapolis Star reported
that Charles was accused of
breaking into the Indiana Medical
History Museum multiple times
and stealing human brain tissue
and “other preserved material”.
Authorities claimed Charles
stole 60 jars of human tissue on
December 15, the Indianapolis
Star reported.
The police sting began when the
purchaser rang the museum after
noticing labels on the containers.
The police then contacted the
seller, who had obtained the brain
tissue from Charles, police said.
The Indianapolis Star reported
Charles faced charges of theft,
marijuana possession and
paraphernalia possession,
according to court documents.
