Controversy over medicinal marijuana has reached the eighth grade in Belmont, where a middle school principal has refused to let a student display her project on the possible medical benefits of pot. Ralston Intermediate School Principal Deborah Ferguson told 13-year-old Veronica Mouser last week she was barring her project -- called ``Mary Jane for Pain'' -- from the school science fair opening today. Projects are supposed to be hands-on, the school says, and marijuana is still considered an illegal drug by the federal government. Veronica burst into sobs and called her stepfather from the nearest phone. Now the emboldened teen, who loves debating and wants to be …

Burning the Bush for Sickle Cell by Peter Gorman For nearly 20 years, South Central L.A.’s Sister Somayah Kambui, a former member of both the US Air Force and the Black Panther Party, has been trying to educate the public about sickle-cell anemia. Not just the disease, but how smoking pot can alleviate the pain it causes and how eating hempseed oil can help alleviate its symptoms. Sickle-cell anemia, an inherited red-blood-cell disorder, affects at least 75,000 Americans, and an estimated 2 million more carry the gene for it. However, it rarely affects anyone without African ancestry, and has remained largely unknown to most of the US public. The disease causes n…

N O R T H A M P T O N, Mass. — Why do criminals launder their money? So it doesn't smell like marijuana, apparently. When Nikita Santor was arrested on drug charges, her parents were good enough to try to bail her out. The only problem, police said, was that they brought the $50,000 in rolled up wads of $20 bills that smelled strongly of drugs. Police confiscated the money and Santor remains in jail. Santor was first arrested on Dec. 18, when she and a companion, Michael Lenahan, were pulled over in their 1997 purple Dodge Intrepid for following another vehicle too closely, police said. State Trooper Michael McCammon "detected the odor of marijuana emitting from the…

Air Force report, Majs. Harry Schmidt and William Umbach were flying F-16s toward their base after six hours of an uneventful mission when they spotted gunfire on the ground and reported it to flight controllers. One of the pilots requested permission to fire, but was told to wait. Seconds later, Schmidt reported surface-to-air fire and advised the flight controllers that he was going to "roll in," or attack the shooters. Umbach confirmed the sighting, adding, according to the report, "I've got some men on a road, and it looks like a piece of artillery firing at us." The bomb released by Schmidt landed a few feet from a Canadian machine gun crew, killing Sgt. Marc Leger…
