The Greenpeace ship
Remember those poor fools from Greenpeace that stormed the Russian oil platform?
They were arrested and charged with piracy and are presently in a Russian jail.
Some interesting news about their ship -- from
BBC:
'Hard drugs found' on Greenpeace ship seized by Russia
Russian investigators say they have found what appear to be hard drugs on board the Greenpeace ship seized during a protest in the Arctic last month.
"During a search of the ship, drugs (apparently poppy straw and morphine) were confiscated," Russia's Investigative Committee said.
Poppy straw, or raw opium, can be used to produce morphine or heroin.
Greenpeace said in a statement that any suggestion of illegal drugs being found was a "smear".
This does not surprise me one bit. I was involved with Greenpeace back in my youth (I was stupid back then) and pot use was rampant. I stopped working with them because the science they used was horrible. All emotion and zero fact.
