A dark hash, probably.

The junkies in Amsterdam I saw smoked opium that way too. I don't think it's aluminum foil from a cigarette pack though.

heroin - and yes, with the aluminum backing in packs of cigarettes. FOr instance shooting up heroin is genuinely idiot idea in Asia because of how uncut the heroin is.

Seems like a bad idea to me, no matter where it's done.

It comes from anywhere people can grow pot, and take the time to make hash from it.

I would have liked to have been a cop, but there are too many laws I do not agree with. I don't mind following the law, but I doubt I would enforce the bad ones.

Pakistan bans Newsweek magazine

The latest issue of US news magazine Newsweek has been banned in Pakistan for publishing material that "desecrates the Koran".

A district magistrate in the capital, Islamabad, ordered all copies of the 22 November issue to be destroyed.

The issue contains an article about murdered Dutch film-maker Theo Van Gogh and pictures of a woman with Koranic verses inscribed on her body.

Islamic parties said the article showed Western bias against Muslims.

Controversial film

Magistrate Tariq Mahmood Pirzada said the article, Clash of Civilisations, "contained some objectionable remarks which are tantamount to desecration of the Koran".

Authorities said they were considering legal action against the publication, although they gave no further details.

The ban may have little effect on sales - the 22 November issue has already been superseded by the 29 November edition.

An Islamabad vendor told Associated Press Television News the 22 November issue had sold 50% more than other editions of the magazine.

The Dawn newspaper said the article was a "naked attack on Muslims' faith. It hurts the feelings of over a billion inhabitants of this Earth".

Van Gogh, 47, had made a controversial film critical of Islamic culture.

Intended to illustrate domestic violence in Muslim societies, it featured images of Koranic verses daubed on semi-naked women.

He was shot and stabbed to death in Amsterdam on 2 November.

Several men, all believed to be Islamic radicals, have been arrested in connection with his death. The alleged killer is Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Dutch-Moroccan.

Mosques in several Dutch cities have been the targets of vandalism and failed arson attempts since the killing.
