...establishment. The U.S. Pharmacopeia, a doctors' listing of remedies begun in 1820, first included cannabis in 1870. The Pharmacopeia didn't drop pot until its 1942 edition, the first published after cannabis was outlawed in 1937. Eventually most physicians began to view the drug as little more than a crude intoxicant. They tended to favor new-fashioned drugs that were refined by pharmaceutical firms into pure chemicals. Raw marijuana contains some 400 compounds...
...rest of the album. “Act Like You Don’t Care” is a tender ballad that closes the album on a welcome soothing note. One notable exception to the good thing The Dubnicks have going on this album, however, is the feverish and crude “Worn Out,” about the rantings of a bitter...

The oil boom has fueled fantastic economic growth - 65% last year, down to an estimated 25% this year - and pushed annual...
...Saddam's 20 to 30 Scud missiles (which they were not able to do in 1991) before he can fire warheads loaded with conventional explosives or perhaps chemical agents at Israel or his Arab neighbors. Even if all these pre-emptive measures are taken, Saddam could still try a crude pre-emptive strike of his own, using chem or bio agents against U.S. forces as they gather. But chemical weapons are hard to control on the battlefield; shifting winds could blow them back on Iraqi soldiers. U.S. forces will go into battle in full protective gear. And the Administration says...
