...urine sample cup has won FDA approval as the first drug-testing kit for home use. Translation: parental use. While the $30 device, expected in the stores in about six weeks, may never "empower the individual citizen," as inventor Dr. Theodore Brown promises, its ability to detect cocaine, heroin, marijuana, PCP, amphetamines and morphine with a mail-in urine sample is bound to spark a storm of controversy. Customers need only place a urine sample in a plastic package included with the kit, mail it in to a government-certified laboratory, and, after one to three days, dial...

The band is already defunct (the lead singer and songwriter, the puckishly gifted Brad Nowell, died of a heroin overdose in May), but no rock album this year sounds more alive...
...young teen is decidedly more dangerous than beginning at twentysomething. Our research shows that the earlier someone smokes marijuana, the likelier that youngster is to move on to other drugs. Children who smoke pot before age 12 are 42 times likelier to use drugs like cocaine and heroin than those who first smoked after...
