...quit can experience such withdrawal symptoms as anxiety, difficulty sleeping and stomach pain. On the other hand, the risk of becoming dependent on marijuana is comparatively low. Just 9% of those who have used the drug develop dependence. By comparison, 15% of drinkers become dependent on alcohol, 23% of heroin users get hooked, and a third of tobacco smokers become slaves to cigarettes...

This summer units of as many as 18 agents, known to locals as "jump-out squads," began stopping individuals, usually African Americans like Mills, at drug-infested street corners in search of guns, crack and heroin. The police would then take a digital photo, even with no evidence of malfeasance, to file in a database that Szczerba says can be accessed "if we see a subsequent violation." The department plans to continue indefinitely what it calls Operation Bold Eagle...
