 Swami Satchidananda, Woodstock's Guru, Dies at 87 (NY Times)
For my money, Satchidananda kicked Maharishi's butt. I'm happy to say that, not only was I right up front at the Woodstock gig, but also present when he married my friend Craig. This cat was a cosmic hoot. Hey, how many other yogi types among your friends do you know who could maintain a perfectly serene lotus position while threading a string up his nose and out his mouth? Dig, Elvis may have left the building, but the Swami has dropped his body and that, my faithful companions, ain't no two-bit Madame X parlor trick.

Dude, Where's My Pain?. Marijuana-derived drugs could be powerful painkillers, but experts say research is just starting to reach critical mass. Randy Dotinga reports from the World Pain Congress in San Diego. [Wired News]
"Researchers have known about the active ingredient THC since 1964, and doctors can prescribe Marinol, a drug made from a synthetic form of it. But while some AIDS and cancer patients take Marinol to control nausea and improve appetite, experts say it's not as effective as marijuana itself because it doesn't absorb easily through the mouth."
Marinol don't do shit, Jack. There just ain't nothin' like a doobie. Still, I usually abstain these days because I'm on so much morphine that one good hit of Humboldt county's finest gets me so stoned it's downright scary. What a rip off, eh?
