Naloxone can now be obtained at HIPS and Family and Medical Counseling Services.

“That heroin that’s been traveling all around the country and causing overdoses because of its potency, has reached Washington, D.C. now.”

Last week a Guatemalan man was stopped at Dulles while trying to smuggle three kilos of cocaine hidden inside belts he was carrying. If there’s anything to be said, it’s that our local drug smugglers are a creative bunch.

A Nigerian woman was stopped at Dulles Airport last week with five pounds of heroin in her stomach—a new record.

As the region’s largest international airport, it’s no surprise when travelers are caught trying to smuggle drugs in and out of Dulles International Airport in creative ways. (People trying to get cocaine past inspectors inside dried soup packets and fully-cooked chickens come to mind.) But there are still those who attempt to get around the watchdogs via more conventional methods.

When posters appeared on the GW campus early last month bearing the message, “Hate Muslims? So Do We!”, some people laughed, others got offended, and the university got a ton of media coverage unrelated to its exorbitant tuition. Today the GW Hatchet reports that the students responsible for the posters have each received a $25 fine and probation. As you all may recall, the posters were part of a campaign to mock Islamo-Facism Awareness Week,…

When we arrived at Adams Morgan bar Felix last Tuesday to catch a Justin Jones show, we found Jones himself standing in the doorway as Felix’s de facto bouncer. “Can I see some I.D.?” asked the stubbled 27-year-old. Then, with a wry grin and a “Nah, I’m just messing with you,” Jones waved us inside. Offstage, it’s tough to tell when Jones is just messing with you. Which is ironic, because as soon as he…
