Comment is free: Pain, pot and politics

Pain, pot and politics

A link to the blog "Sacred Rain" by Christina Morgan on the medical pot issue. Good article, but more interesting for the extent of discussion following it - probably due to its being published as part of the Guardian's "Big Blogger" feature.

Alter Nat also have an item on Big Parma's deadly experiments just as the UK approves Prozac for kids.

Yours truly has spent the weekend indulging in a Cuban music festival here in London. Bopping away, the sounds are still echoing in my head - a welcome remedy to the darker world of newsfeeds. Also in music, the return of the Isle of Wight festival. But comparisons to Woodstock? Come off it.

With fresh blood on his hands, Israel's leader comes to London. Also, Support for Britain's police chief is crumbling (see notes last week) and a report suggests our civil service are becoming increasingly frustrated with government incompetence. New laws have not made the UK any safer either.

Bombed then beaten to death? As he dies for the 7th time, another piece on how Al-Zarqawi got invited onto the war stage in the first place. Vanity Fair tackle the lies they needed for the war they wanted and OpEd look at "risk-transfer militarism".

Now to read today's news.

Later.
