In an attempt to get legally high, some people have resorted to snorting the unexpected: chocolate powder.
A version of the product, called Coco Loko, provides a drug-free way to get a rush of energy and to feel calm and focused, according to the website of the Orlando-based company Legal Lean.
Upon snorting the powder, you feel “almost like an energy-drink feeling, like you’re euphoric but also motivated to get things done,” Nick Anderson, the founder of Legal Lean, told The Washington Post.

US judge rejects Texas professors' bid to halt student gun carry

A U.S. judge rejected efforts by three University of Texas professors to ban students from bringing guns to their classrooms after the state granted them that right last year, court documents showed on Friday.
Professors Jennifer Glass, Lisa Moore and Mia Carter had argued in a federal district court in Austin that academic freedom and classroom debate could be chilled under the so-called “campus carry” law backed by the state’s wingnuts.

'Get out nigger'

On Friday, a Nigerian-American couple awoke to find graffiti that invoked both a racial slur and the name of the Dumbass in the driveway of the house they’ve lived in for 18 years.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Toks and Ayotunde Ayodele, two Nigerian immigrants who share a physician’s practice in Rock Hill, South Carolina, had never experienced racial hatred like they woke up to on Friday morning.
“In 2017, you don’t expect that,” Toks, the 64-year-old wife of the couple, told the Observer. “We’re a couple that minds our business. We help people in the neighborhood any way we can. It makes you wonder and doubt if people are really true and genuine with us.”
“In 18 years, I’ve never felt not wanted,” Toks told local news channel WCNC.

How plants react to life on the International Space Station

Gravity is a constant for all organisms on Earth. It acts on every aspect of our physiology, behavior and development—no matter what you are, you evolved in an environment where gravity roots us firmly to the ground.
But what happens if you’re removed from that familiar environment and placed into a situation outside your evolutionary experience? That’s exactly the question we ask every day of the plants we grow in our laboratory. They start out here in our earthbound lab, but they’re on their way to outer space. What could be a more novel environment for a plant than the zero-gravity conditions of spaceflight?

Cities where dogs are treated better than many people

I suppose there must have been a time when the phrase “It’s a dog’s life” made immediate sense. Today, however, as a signifier of a life of difficulty, this phrase doesn’t convey as much suffering. Americans treat their dogs like… well, like themselves. We spend $23 billion on pet foods every year, much of that cash on gourmet varieties, including vegan and gluten-free (and just FYI, don’t do that, dogs are carnivores: They like and need meat, and if they could talk, they would tell you they could care less about gluten.) We spend $15 billion a year on medical care for our pooches. They accompany us to the grocery store, cafes, airports (JFK Airport in New York is set to open a terminal devoted to pets), even to work. Dog parks are proliferating in cities across the U.S. Doggie Couture is real.
And in case you are thinking, “decadent old America and its misplaced values,” it’s not just Americans. In Japan, when their canine pals are too old to frolic anymore, there are dog retirement homes. The truth is that dogs are royalty in much of the world.
Sure, there are dog parks and good vets and liberal leash laws in lots of cities. San Francisco, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, and Minneapolis have impressive numbers of all three, and they are great dog cities. But here is a list of some of the cities in the world that go a step beyond, making them among the very best places to live if you are literally living a dog’s life.

Here are 10 cities where dogs are treated better than many people
