Orange You Glad You're Alive?
1998-11-10 15:48:00
The San Francisco Bay Guardian is reporting on a Florida biochemist who's developed THC-bearing oranges. Since oranges are not illegal (yet), you could theoretically get high from your morning glass of Sunny Delight. Unfortunately the Bad Guys have come down on this guy and stopped him from distributing his orange seeds to dopeheads until they have time to make it illegal.
I think this story is GREAT. First off, the guy developed the oranges out of VENGEANCE against the cops, who had confiscated his minivan because his kid had been picked up with a crappy pipe and a couple of seeds and stems. VENGEANCE is an excellent motivating factor and I applaud the scientist for his long-held grudge.
Second, I think every biochemist in the country should stop the boring stuff they're doing and work on putting bad drugs into fruits and vegetables. There should be drugs everywhere! If for nothing else, it makes the Feds look like idiots chasing guys like this down.
It's the high-tech equivalent of taking their little cop hats and throwing them around in a circle. "Look, there's some THC over here! And some over here too! Ha ha ha! Look at em run!" Anyways, I hope to see more of these interesting uses of biotech in the future.

About 14 years ago when I was on a road trip and stopped in Seattle, I was invited to a party. At this party there were these little tiny glasses sitting in a flat-bottomed bowl of ice. Thin cylinders about an inch in diameter and 4 inches tall, with thick glass at the bottom. Into these were poured frozen AKVAVIT... also known as the water of life. (More...)

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. Our base of operations is always the ultra swank Spock Mountain Research Labs - the World Leaders in Beverage Science and Leisure Technology. This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)
