...there is no scientific evidence on whether long-term use can produce effects comparable to alcohol's cirrhosis or tobacco's cancer and emphysema. Marijuana's active ingredients?chemicals known as tetrahydrocannabinols (THC)?can cause LSD-type psychotic hallucinations when administered in pure form.

The release of secret conversations between Belfast and London has made it evident that the Ulster government has for some time, been unable to control the police department.
