The continuous rise of gas prices has caused another shortage among service stations in the U. S. Pump station owners have to look for extra number 4s as retail price reaches a record $4. 40 a gallon. Some owners resort to using other digits like the number 1 and and then add a stroke or two to make an improvised pump price display.

A teenager was arrested Tuesday for allegedly lacing cookies and candy with LSD and marijuana before delivering the treats to police officers. Christian Phillips, 18, delivered baskets of cookies and candy to about a dozen police stations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, saying he was bringing the sweets on behalf of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who he was doing mandatory community service for.

A nationwide ban on smoking tobacco in enclosed places began here Tuesday, but Dutch cafes and restaurants will permit patrons to smoke marijuana inside their premises. Some 200 inspectors of the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority will ensure compliance to the ban by cafes across the country. The inspectors have been trained to detect tobacco and marijuana, which is allowed in licensed coffee shops.

A new law will go into effect on July 1 banning smoking tobacco indoors throughout the Netherlands. What this means for Amsterdam's historic coffee shops, where smoking tobacco laced with marijuana is more of the main draw, remains up for debate. According to reports, coffee shop owners say the new ban should not effect them because 'coffee shops' are a place where people go to smoke. They say it is preposterous for the ban to extend to their shops, just as it would be for food to be banned from restaurants, or alcohol from a bar.
