Like all youths in my country, I sat in my family's homestead watching in rapt attention, internalizing the Canadian values transmitted through these messages. These crazy PS-ehs are remembered fondly and have become Canadian memes threaded through our personal history.

In 1964, the British armed forces tested the effects of LSD on British marines. Their goal was to discover a non-lethal method of incapacitating enemy forces and, if this historical footage is any indication, they found one.

Living in New York City is hard! There are too many people, too much noise, and far, far too many existential crises lurking in front of every Pinkberry. What do you need to make it through the day? A doobie!

Drugs that kill! Hospitals that kill! Pregnancies that kill! These and other things that kill, in today's Health Watch—where we keep an eye on health (yours)!

Need your fix of romance post-Valentines? Need to convince that special someone that shooting up is super-gross? The first of the "Swansea Love Story," a VBS documentary following the ups and downs of a Welsh junkie couple, has been released.

Old folks in Shanghai have taken to scarfing down coke, methamphetamine, and ketamine so they can stay up all night playing Mahjong. First it was eldersex, and now olds are doing kids' drugs? How are teenagers going to rebel now?

Yesterday, we introduced you to the farcical "Draft Larry Kudlow" campaign, a pretend movement to convince TV economist Larry Kudlow to run for Senate against Chuck Schumer. Today, for fun, we'll introduce you to Larry Kudlow the addict.

So last night's Taboo didn't really go out on a limb as far as bringing us unbelievable freakiness that's actually stigmatized. But they did give us lots of drugz, and the folks who turn to 'em to ease(?) their troubles.

Memphis punk Jay Reatard's death caused by "cocaine toxicity," and "alcohol was a contributing factor."

After a shining moment as one big weed spot, the L.A. City Council has voted to cut the number of medical marijuana dispensaries there by more than 90%. The government, dude. This is quite an inconvenience for smokin' commuters. [AP]

The co-founder of the Marijuana Policy Project (not pictured) has resigned, for sleeping with a subordinate and for his record of "predatory" behavior towards women in his office. Related: you have to watch these videos. Our favorite is probably "Grandmother."

It isn't just conservative lawmakers who are worried about New Jersey's new medical marijuana law, which gives people with debilitating diseases the right to purchase up to two ounces of marijuana each month. Pot dealers are concerned, too! "It's going to cut a lot of the bridge-and-tunnel customers," one dealer tells the Daily News, adding that if he tried to compete with the legal stuff based on price, he'd lose "hundreds of thousands of dollars a year." If you're out of work and were thinking about dealing a bit on the side to pay the bills—not such a bad idea, at least up until now!—you make want to think about some other way to make quick cash.

A worker found "a small amount of white powder residue that was later confirmed to be cocaine" in the hanger of the shuttle Discovery at Kennedy Space Center. Great, now drug cartels are using space shuttles to ferry coke. [Space.com]

Did learning that your antidepressant is fucking useless make you toss all your Paxils out the window? Not so fast! You don't want to lose that sweet placebo effect. Because there's still a lot to be depressed about.

Whoo! Let's all move to Jersey! Medical marijuana just passed the Assembly!

"The New Jersey Legislature approved a measure on Monday that would make the state the first in the region and the 14th in the nation to legalize the use of marijuana for medical reasons." [NYT]

Pharma company Cephalon is trying to win FDA approval for one of its drugs, Nuvigil, to be used specifically to fight jet lag. How does it do this magical task? By keeping you awake. It's a stimulant. It "would be approved to treat only the sleepiness associated with jet lag disorder - not to shift the body's clock to the new time zone." So your jet lag treatment options would be as follows:

A new study shows that antidepressants like Paxil are okay for severe depression but mostly worthless for less-than-severe depression. And they think Prozac will be just as worthless. Hopefully this news depresses you enough to make your meds work. [Related]

Mere hours after we asked whether Rush's hospitalization means he's hitting the pill bottle again, an energetic Limbaugh took to the small screen to announce that he is healthy as an ox, and no, he is not high on Oxy.

Was Rush Limbaugh's Hawaiian hospitalization drug-related? This line from a report about his medical crisis raises a flag: "Limbaugh told emergency crews that he was having chest pains and had been taking medication for back trouble."
