Are those new alcohol energy drinks really safe? Doesn't adding caffeine to an alcoholic beverage encourage the consumption of even more alcohol? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is looking at the safety and legality of alcoholic beverages that contain caffeine as an additive.
At the request of several state attorney generals, the FDA decided to examine the health and safety issues surrounding the popular beverages. The FDA sent letters to 30 manufacturers of the beverages giving them 30 days to show proof that the drinks are safe.

Inhalants are breathable chemical vapors that produce psychoactive (mind-altering) effects. Younger children and teens tend to abuse inhalants in part because they are readily available and inexpensive. Although unintentional inhalation of household products can occur, inhalant abuse, or huffing, is an intention act. Read more...

Police cannot stop a driver and administer a sobriety test based solely on receiving an anonymous tip, based on a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. The policeman must personally observe erratic driving before stopping a suspected drunken driver.
The high court let stand a Virginia Supreme Court ruling in the case of Virginia v. Joseph Harris that overturned his DUI conviction.

Well, they said they weren't going to arrest anyone for personal possession or cultivating weed, man, so that means it might as well be legal, right?
No, what the Justice Department announced was that federal drug agents will no longer make it a "priority" to arrest or prosecute people who are legally using, selling or supplying medical marijuana in the states that allow it.
