Northern College "lecturers" whinge.. NB: most of this info relates only to the UK.
have a look at this...
http://www.pit2net.co.uk/recdruguse.htm
It appears to have come from a "college lecturer" or "educationalist"
in the North of England.
Some of the points are valid (although the now-discredited "dain bramage" report is cited!); but despite claiming not to be the tone of this comes across as rather judgemental.
I am also concerned at the implied suggestion that college tutors or admin staff should be recording details of peoples drug use; IMO this work should only be done by trained medical professionals in the NHS, and be kept as confidential as your other medical records would be.
How do they know that someone just dropped out due to drug use or for other reasons? And would this information potentially be passed to the Police?
Its worth considering though that stuff like this shows that non-Police public bodies such as UK colleges are now taking an interest in peoples activities outside the campus.... It is worth keeping an eye on "initiatives" like this.
Incidentally whoever wrote it was not even prepared to put a name (or even an alias) to their work. Whilst its understandable "our side" use aliases sometimes (after all we could be accused of "assisting with illegal activities - one would expect the "antis" to not have this paranoia - especially as they claim the "moral/legal high ground"
Mind you, the author appears to have a lot of problems with spelling and grammar for an "educationalist"; I hope he/she is not an English teacher!

DSEi fallout – money, money, money $$£££€€€ following protests from Docklands residents that they will have 2 pay for the cost of policing DSEi (about £1 million) due to dealing with protesters - the Metropolitan Police Authority is now considering charging all event organisers to recover policing costs.
Unfortunately, although this may mean DSEi have to "pay their way"; they can afford it (the weapons sold to poor countries will just cost more) - the Met are now looking to recover costs from all pop concerts, festivals and other occasional music events. In other words licensing costs will go up. I understand a peace rally in East London was already stopped this way (large fee demanded at last minute).
There is also a potential extra clampdown on unlicensed events - which may even be assisted by licensed promoters who are angry at others getting a free ride. In Britain there used to be some kind of "gentlemans agreement" that commercial promoters never grassed up unlicensed events (at least in my area) - but the polis are now "spinning" them in2 doing so - "why should those pikeys get away with it when u and ur punters have had 2 pay 4 a license"?

Cops: LSD tattoos don’t exist URL - Pretoria - Police have strongly denied allegations that LSD tattoos are being sold to school pupils.
This comes after parents in Pretoria received letters warning them about the so-called blue star tattoos that apparently contain LSD. The letter was sent out on a metro police letterhead.
Lune van Heerden, spokesperson for the Tshwane metro police, said they did not send the letter. The origin of the letter is unknown.
Mark Newham of the metro police's unit for social crime prevention said the letter could cause unnecessary panic.
The letter states that the blue star tattoo is about the size of a pencil eraser. It is apparently soaked in LSD and the drug can be absorbed through the skin. The red pyramid stickers allegedly also contain LSD.
The letter also warns that LSD stickers with pictures of Superman, Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters sometimes contain strychnine.
Does not exist
Senior Superintendent Etienne van Zyl, in charge of drug analysis at the police's forensic laboratory in Pretoria, said an LSD tattoo does not exist. LSD has also not been mixed with strychnine before.
Van Zyl said police were not aware of any incidents involving the so-called blue star or red pyramid. "If it is not in the database, it means police have never confiscated such an item."
Superintendent Dup du Plessis, head of the South African Narcotics Bureau, said he has never heard of blue star or red pyramid. "LSD has many street names and it is possible that these are new names."
He said drugs are sometimes mixed with other substances to increase the volume. "Drug dealers often mix drugs with anything from icing sugar to Vim."
