A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

The garbage disposal is one kitchen appliance that’s all too easy to overlook in terms of routine cleaning. Unlike your oven or your dishwasher, it’s not a device you necessarily use or even notice on a daily basis, so in many homes, the disposal doesn’t command attention until there’s a problem with it. Or a problematic odor coming from within it.

Douglas, GA

Daily Coffee Press

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

Sun-charged water is ordinary water that has been exposed to solar radiation in order to recharge it for your body. The idea originated with Ayurveda, also known as Surya Jal Chikitsa in India, a traditional medical practice with longstanding roots. Regular tap water is considered "de@d water" in Ayurveda because it isn't flowing down rivers and getting sunshine as nature intended. When it is exposed to sunshine, it can then be transformed back into "living water."
