Issue: July 08, 2010
Hi everybody,
In this week’s cover story, “Drug tests,” I went to a head shop and sampled the legal wares. It’s not the same bunk we took when we were kids. Somehow, I don’t feel all that happy about the discovery. Also in this week’s issue, I go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, Brad Bynum opens his mind to psychedelic art, and Brad Nelson tells us about new Miracle Drugs. Feel free to click the links below for Northern Nevada’s best news, arts and entertainment, but be sure to pick up a newsprint copy for exclusive content like cartoons and columns. As always, thanks for reading our newsweekly. If not for you, we’d be selling … cosmetics.
Thanks,
Brian
