"New Oklahoma Law, November 1st 2010. GLASS TUBES. Title 63 Section 2 Paragraph 101.2 makes it a crime for retailers to offer for sale to any patron a ‘glass tube’ (defined below) punishable by a misdemeanor – up to 1 year and up to $1000. Glass Tube, seen on counter tops of most convenience stores until November 1st, are defined as hollow glass cylinders, open or closed at either end, not less than 2 inches or more than 7 inches in length and no more than ¾ of an inch in diameter, whether sold individually or in connection with any other object. This law is in an effort to curb methamphetamine and other illegal narcotic use."
That's taken from the Owasso PD Facebook page. As near as I can figure, these are common test tubes. Now, I freely admit that I'm unaware of how they're used for drugs, but at the same time, couldn't I go to a chemical supply house and buy a bunch of them? For that matter, I found them in seconds on e-bay. So how is this law going to be effective at curbing drug use?

Hey, we can't allow test tubes, test tubes might just get kids interested in that science stuff and distract them from learnin' more 'bout Jebus and get them thinkin wrong thoughts. |

The FDA plans to rule that caffeine is an unsafe food additive for alcoholic beverages, Mr. Schumer, who has been a staunch critic of the drinks, said in a statement.
While I think they might be taking it a bit too far, I have seen studies that show that the caffeine/alcohol combo is somewhat dangerous. You're more likely to get dehydrated and the caffeine makes it more difficult to self-judge impairment, which causes several obvious issues. I don't really have a problem pouring a splash of Red Bull in my Jaeger whenever I'm feeling like drinking swill, so I find it difficult to get too worked up about it. |

We should outlaw glass. . .for many reasons. You can make all kinds of drugs in it, it's sharp, and you can smoke stuff out of it, it's drives the cost of recycling other materials up, and it's a poor insulator.
Just ban glass!. . .oh, and dirt, because you can grow weed in that.
