This is what happens when you agree to do hoodrat things with your friends…. NYC Women Arrested For Trying To Smuggle Narcotics Through Airport Security Two NYC women were arrested at JFK airport yesterday after a failed attempt to smuggle some “booger sugar” through the security checkpoint by hiding it in their luxurious lady locks. via The Grio Kiana Howell and Makeeba Graham came in to New York through a Caribbean Airlines Flight 526 from Georgetown, Guyana on Sunday. The nervous demeanor of the pair alerted airport security officers, which prompted them to search the two women. The officers discovered conspicuous bumps on their scalps, and proceeded to take them to the airport’s medical center. Health workers at the medical center found and removed 996 grams of “booger sugar” from Howell’s weave, and another 1,046 grams from Ms. Graham’s weave. Ladies….(and we use that term very loosely)……let’s do better. SMH.
Research on the street drug known as “bath salts” has uncovered some disturbing findings… via UK Daily Mail : As lethal bath salts continue to take young lives, researchers have discovered the shocking strength of a key ingredient that leaves users struggling with the after effects for days. MDPV, commonly found in the street drug is ten times stronger than “yayo”, according to the National Science Foundation. It causes users to become paranoid, violent and agitated, at times leading to hallucinations. But unlike with other drugs, such as “yayo” or “molly,” doctors are noticing a worrying trend of people suffering these symptoms for days after snorting the legal high. ‘They’re selling time bombs,’ Louisiana Poison Control Center Director Dr. Mark Ryan told ABC News. ‘We’ve had some people show up who are complaining of chest pains so severe that they think they’re having a heart attack. They think they’re dying. They have extreme paranoia. They’re having hallucinations. They see things, they hear things, monsters, demons, aliens.’ One such victim was 21-year-old Dickie Sanders. He suffered severe hallucinations after snorting a packet of bath salts, labelled ‘Cloud Nine’, became convinced he was being hunted by police and sliced at his throat with a kitchen knife. Saunders survived his horrific injuries, returning home with stitches and telling his mother: ‘I can’t handle what this drug has done to me. I’m never going to touch anything again.’ The side effects persisted, Saunders’ father ended up having to sleep beside him, holding his son in his arms and trying to comfort him. He eventually calmed and drifted off to sleep. But hours later, suddenly and without warning, Saunders left the protective arms of his father and in the midst of another psychotic episode shot himself with a rifle. As Saunders’ tragic became mirrored in more and more incidents across the country, Ryan compiled a database of every bath salts-related case in Louisiana, hit especially hard by the problem, and Kentucky. Ryan noticed that upon snorting the powder, labelled with names including Hurricane Charlie, NOLA Diamond and Bayou Ivory Flower, users all suffered repetitive psychotic episodes. ‘Some patients were in the hospital for 5 days, 10 days, 14 days,’ Ryan said. ‘In some cases, they were under heavy sedation. As you try to taper off the sedation, the paranoia came back and the delusions.’ ‘MDPV is irreversible, it won’t let go,’ his colleague Louise De Felice said. ‘I don’t know of any other drug that has that same feature of not allowing you to escape from it.’ Scientists ran tests to try to determine the drug’s chemistry, finding it to be laced with MDPV, ten times the potency of cocaine. The dangerous combination of the drug’s ingredients ‘flood the brain,’ they said, leading to repeated episodes of psychotic behaviour. In December the Louisiana Poison Centre received more than 110 calls about bath salts, compared with four in October and 24 in November. That trend was being mirrored all around the states. Drastic measures were taken early January to ban the five ingredients commonly found in bath salts products: MDPV and mephedrone, methylone, methedrone and flephedrone. What’s worrying is that drug makers have simply tweaked the formula, skirting around the law. ‘What [drugmakers] are looking for is the side effects,’ said Jimmy Guidry, Louisiana State Health officer. ‘They just have to change the chemistry, and they’ve got something that’s not on the list, and it’s not illegal. They continue to make it legal to have these horrible side effects.’ ‘It’s like that arcade game Whac-a-Mole,’ Ryan added. ‘Every time you think you’ve got a handle on it — boom — it pops up in three different places.’ We never planned on trying bath salts in the first place, but this information is even more disturbing than we imagined — there is a drug that people can’t come down from — the side effects of this isht is PERMANENT! It seems like users either end up killing themselves or others before it’s all said and done. That said — who is making this stuff? Clearly not your average neighborhood drug dealer… So how did something that was made in a lab get into the hands of all these people across the country? That’s what we really want to know!
Celebrities Who Talk About “Molly” Celebrities love their drugs. There’s just something about getting money that makes people want to try out the newest vices to hit the streets. It seems like these days everyone’s talking about popping “Molly” or a more potent version of ecstacy pills. They’ve been around for years, but now more popular than ever. Take a look at some rappers and other celebrities caught talking about or taking that “Molly.”
Interesting, but yuck. Remote Control Roaches Will Help Find Disaster Victims Remote-controlled cockroaches may soon be coming to the rescue of trapped disaster victims. A team of researchers at North Carolina State University have harnessed the insect’s movements through electrical signals and believe it could help find people trapped in collapsed buildings and other disaster zones unnavigable by humans. “The trick is to fire wireless signals at a roach’s antennae and other sensory organs to guide it to a desired destination,” Alper Bozkurt, an assistant professor in North Carolina State University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, told scientificamerican.com. “What we do is similar to riding a horse.” Bozkurt, working with doctoral candidate Tahmid Latif, communicated with Madagascar hissing cockroaches by saddling them with electrical devices that look like backpacks. Each insect backpack included a thin, rigid, printed circuit board with a microcontroller, a wireless signal receiver, miniature plugs for connecting stimulation electrodes and a lithium-ion polymer battery. “The cockroach walks naturally, and we simulate barriers by sending pulses to its antenna. They use their antenna as touch sensors, so stimulation on one side directs these insects towards the opposite direction.” Bozkurt and Latif presented their research last month at the 34th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society in San Diego, Calif. This could actually help save a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t weird as fawk! Image via PhysOrg Source
Let us find out these kids are pushin’ bath salts on the POTUS’ children Malia And Sasha Obama’s Private School Involved In Sex Drug Scandal President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle shell out a whopping $70,000 a year to send their two daughters to an elite private school, but the academy has been embroiled in a shocking cocaine scandal! Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., is also involved in a stunning court battle that threatens to expose even more sordid sex and drug secrets, according to a new report in the National Enquirer. The First Parents publicly support the school where Malia, 14, is a freshman, and Sasha, 11, is in sixth grade, but the Enquirer has exclusively learned they’re concerned by the school’s disgraceful problems, according to an Obama family insider. “Certainly, the trouble at the school has upset both Barack and Michelle,” reveals the source. “Some friends have suggested the girls be tutored privately at the White House, but the Obamas are keen to have the girls’ educational experience be as normal as possible. They don’t want them home-schooled.” The Enquirer has learned drug and alcohol use is rampant among students – 71 percent of Sidwell students said they at tended parties where drugs and alcohol were available, ac cording to an official study published in the school newspaper, “Horizon.” What’s more, nearly 25 percent of the senior boys polled admitted to driving under the influence of alcohol! “I have seen kids snorting coke, smoking pot, getting high and boozing,” the former stu dent, now an adult, told the Enquirer. “There’s huge money at the school and the older kids host parties at their private residences. Many of them live in big mansions in Washington, or in affluent suburbs where drugs and booze are common.” B-b-but wait it gets worse… Meanwhile, a $10 million lawsuit against Sidwell threatens to rip the lid off an alleged sleazy sex scandal in volving the school’s former staff psychologist, James Huntington, who’s been fired. According to bombshell court papers obtained by the Enquirer, Huntington was allegedly carrying on an affair with the mar ried mother of a 5-year-old female student he was counseling. The amorous shrink allegedly took his three children, the mother and her two kids to a Washington, D.C., hotel, where he booked ad joining rooms so the couple could “fool around” while the children slept, according to the suit. The source said: “For all the money the Obamas are spending to send their girls to Sidwell, the school is rife with the same scandals they’d hoped to avoid at a public school.” Not for nothin’, but shouldn’t the Secret Service been up on this kinda thing from the gate??

If you’ve ever seen “C0ca!ne Cowboys” you know exactly who we’re talking about. Miam’s godmother of yayo was gunned down Monday and most folks think it’s karma. Earlier today, a motorcycle-riding assassin pumped two bullets into the head of Griselda Blanco inside a Medellin, Colombia, butcher shop; ending the life of the queen of Miami’s violent C0ca!ne Cowboys era. It was a bloody cinematic ending for the 69-year-old retired yayo trafficker who was insatiably fond of the gangster epic The Godfather — going as far as naming her youngest son Michael Corleone. Longtime Blanco family friend Cristian Rios confirmed reports by Colombian news outlets that Blanco died from her wounds after she was transported to a nearby hospital. “It’s hard to comprehend right now,” he tells Riptide. “I’m hoping the reprisals end here.” Two of her four sons were murdered while she was incarcerated in the 1980s and 1990s. She is survived by Michael, a 34-year-old Colombian American who is under house arrest in Miami while waiting for his trial on a yayo trafficking charge from last year. “Michael is just beside himself,” Rios says. “No matter what people think of Griselda, she was still his mom.” According to the newspaper El Colombiano, a pair of suspects riding a motorcycle stopped at the open-air butcher shop, located in the Medellin neighborhood of Belen Parque. An unknown man riding on the back of the bike got off and walked toward Blanco. He fired two shots at her head from close range. The report states Blanco had been in the shop for about 30 minutes with a pregnant ex-daughter-in-law who was not identified. Whoever was behind the hit may have wanted to send an ironic final message since Blanco is the reputed originator of motorcycle assassinations. Known as la madrina, or the Godmother, Blanco was a pioneer in the blow trafficking industry during the 1970s and early 1980s. According to law enforcement, she oversaw a billion-dollar criminal organization that transported 3,400 pounds of perico a month into the United States. She revolutionized smuggling by developing her own line of underwear with secret compartments to stuff drugs into. Blanco solidified her place in Colombian cartel lore as the mentor to Pablo Escobar. But Blanco was also known as a ruthless queen of death, accused of masterminding at least 40 homicides from Miami to New York, including the murder of a two-year-old boy. On February 7, 1982, Blanco hitmen fired at a car traveling on South Dixie Highway and SW 168th Street. The shooters missed their target, Jesus Castro, an ex-enforcer who had insulted her sons, but hit his boy Johnny twice in the head. According to witness testimony from federal informant Max Mermelstein, an American who worked for the cartel, Blanco boasted about little Johnny’s murder, noting she was pleased that the child had been killed “because it would upset the father.” She also earned another nickname: The Black Widow. Blanco was allegedly behind the murders of three husbands. Blanco was arrested in 1985 on federal trafficking charges and convicted a year later. In 1994, she was charged in Miami-Dade criminal court for the murders of Johnny Castro and two drug dealers who were late with their payments to the Godmother. Four years later, when she was released from a California federal prison, Blanco pled no contest to the three slayings. She was transferred to a Florida correctional facility. She would have faced the electric chair if the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office hadn’t bungled the case. Two of the prosecutor’s secretaries were busted having phone sex with star witness and ex-Griselda button man Jorge “Rivi” Ayala. Following her release from prison and deportation to Colombia in 2004, Blanco became somewhat of a hip-hop cultural icon thanks to the Rakontur documentaries C0ca!ne Cowboys and Hustlin’ With the Godmother. According to Rios, Blanco’s murderous exploits have been exaggerated by her former criminal associates who testified against her and the media. “People don’t understand that she was just a figurehead,” he says. “She’s not responsible for atrocities committed by others in her organization.” Nevertheless, Rios acknowledged Blanco had made a lot of enemies, some of whom are still alive and may have still wanted to collect in blood. “Unfortunately, her past caught up with her,” he says. Boy did it ever… But she still lived long enough to turn herself into quite the legend. If you’ve never seen the films about her you’re gonna appreciate this clip below: Source
That salt strikes again… Deutsche Bank Executive Beaten By LAPD Sues For $50 Million According to TMZ reports : There’s no doubt … Brian Mulligan — an international banking honcho — was beaten to a pulp by the LAPD — based on photos obtained by TMZ. Mulligan — the Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Media for Deutsche Bank — is unrecognizable in the pics — with severe nasal fractures and lacerations, a concussion, a fractured right scapula, and numerous contusions and abrasions. Although the LAPD claims officers beat and arrested Mulligan after he became violent and threatening … prosecutors declined to file charges. Our sources say prosecutors believe the photos are “clear evidence of excessive force.” Indeed, Mulligan already filed a $50 million claim against the City of L.A. TMZ first reported, Mulligan claims two LAPD cops beat him senseless after wrongfully detaining him … claiming he resembled a person suspected of attempted car theft. Mulligan claims the officers took him to a hotel against his will and when he tried to leave officers brutally attacked him. Mulligan’s lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan and Valerie Wass, tell TMZ cops at the scene conceded Mulligan was NOT under the influence of drugs and they described him as “calm, lucid, and cooperative.” They tell TMZ, “Mulligan had committed no violations of law and was not arrested. No drugs were found during a search of his person or his vehicle, and the officers found absolutely no evidence of drug use by Mulligan.” Despite his lawyer assertion that Mulligan had not used any drugs… An executive of one of the largest banks in the world allegedly told the police during an incident in May that he ingested “white lightning,” which police say is a commercial name for bath salts, CBS reports. Brian Mulligan, the 52-year-old managing director and vice chairman of media and telecommunications for Deutsche Bank, is suing the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for $50 million, claiming he was held captive in a motel room by police officers who then beat him to a pulp. The police report, obtained exclusively by CBS, states that Mulligan was sweating profusely and walking with an unsteady gait when officers responded to reports that he was trying to break into cars in a Jack-in-the-Box parking lot. Mulligan told officers he was being chased and didn’t know why. He also stated that he had ingested “white lightning” and marijuana and that he had not slept for four days… A few hours later, at about 1 a.m., police received another call from the same area, this time about a man running in traffic, Officer Joseph told HuffPost. Mulligan, standing in the street, defied officers’ orders to get out of traffic’s way. Instead, Mulligan bared his teeth, snarled and charged at the officers. Sounds like Brian was high off that isht and bit off a lil’ more than his salty azz could chew. Head HERE to see the graphic picture of Mulligan’s injuries. Source Continue reading →
What about all the “patients” that need their “medicine”??? Los Angeles Medicinal Herb Shops Plan On Stay Open Despite City Ban When Los Angeles’ marijuana dispensary ban takes effect Sept. 6, there will still be plenty of pot shops open, and not just in neighboring cities like West Hollywood and Long Beach. After we called several dispensaries this week we found that many in L.A. proper were planning to stick it out, despite the council-enacted prohibition that covers all retail cannabis shops in city limits. Their rationale? -Some said that they were awaiting and even participating in court challenges that essentially question cities’ rights to ban dispensaries. -Some said they hoped an Americans for Save Access voter referendum would overturn the ban and save their stores before they had to be shut down. -Others said they were among the 182 shops that opened before a 2007 city moratorium was enacted and hope to be grandfathered in. -Yet others said they’d stay open until the city sent them a letter expressly telling them it’s time to close. (We reached out to the City Attorney’s office about just such a possible letter but had yet to hear back.) In each case, dispensaries that stay open would be walking on thin ice, as none of these appear to be ironclad legal saviors. Court challenges could take months; the voter referendum will take months. And a City Council proposal to save the pre-2007 dispensaries is being drawn up and studied, but for now the ban is the law. But despite the threat of “the man” some shop plan on thuggin’ it out until they are FORCED to shut down. A representative of a Hollywood dispensary who didn’t want his name used told the Weekly it had yet to hear from the city formally and that “we’re definitely staying open.” The operator of a San Fernando Valley shop told us it is signing on to a lawsuit against the ban. The dispensary will stay open and, he believes, is somewhat safe as a pre-2007 shop. A rep from a shop on Melrose Avenue said she believed “we should be fine” because it was a pre-2007 business. A Koreatown collective operator told us it was taking the situation “day by day.” But at the Hollyweed Dispensary, another pre-2007 shop, operators didn’t plan to take chances. Their long-fought legitimacy was on the line, manager Sunny Simms told the Weekly, and if the city expressly told it to close, it would do so: “We do plan on shutting our doors around Sept 6. We would be liable to lose our business, and we can’t risk that.” They might as well just leave these folks alone, closing these shops isn’t going to stop the kush train from rolling…see what we did there?
