...health to the sun of Miami, and we don't wish to cause them any distress." A science-oriented writer suggests gradually depressurizing the cabin until all the passengers, including the skyjacker, lose consciousness due to a lack of oxygen. Or maybe the crew could spray a small dose of a tranquilizer into the passenger area, turning the culprit-along with everyone else-into a contented, harmless heap. Still another suggestion is that the guns firing darts dipped in tranquilizers to fell animals without injury be used on airline pirates. More elaborate is a recommendation to construct a bogus...
...regional director for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Narcotics agents throughout the U.S. agree that genuine THC is virtually unobtainable on the street. The reason, say Callahan and other experts, is that the process of synthesizing THC is so complex and costly ($5 to $10 per effective dose) that its manufacture makes no commercial sense, even to the Mafia. According to Stanford University's Psychopharmacologist Leo Hollister, genuine THC in doses as low as 70 milligrams may produce symptoms like those caused by LSD-dizziness, blurred or vibrating vision, shortened attention span and otherworldly hallucinations.

Moreover, methadone costs only about 10$ a dose, in bulk...
...discharged but required to report to a clinic regularly for at least a year-daily at first, later tapering off to once a week if they stay clean. "Clean" means that their urine samples reveal no heroin on analysis. On these visits, patients are required to drink a full dose of methadone to show that they have been taking it at home and have retained their tolerance. This precaution is continued indefinitely, even after patients have held a job for a year or more. In the pilot program, in which hospitalization is omitted, preliminary results appear to be as good...
