Reviewer's good notes:

The trust.org URL is broken. This has a lot of single-sentence paragraphs, which is poor writing style. This is very quote-heavy; a lot of it follows the model "According to such-and-such source, so-and-so said, "Something". (BTW, it's usually not called for to specify which source every detail came from, unless there's some reason the source is especially relevant.) Quoting people should not be a substitute for stating facts; in most cases they're best used to augment statements of fact. Don't quote other news sources. Once in several blue moons, when the fact that a news source has said something is itself part of the news event, one might have occasion to quote them

The reason why I work on Wikinews is because I love doing it. I love writing News, I love the community over here!! Whenever I get sick of Wikipedia, I can always retreat here! To paraphrase Messedrocker: Wikinews has the ability to be an important project, and I love it very much. Because of how everything is arranged and set up, while the Wikinews brand may not last forever, the fruit of its efforts will.

I advocate freedom of expressing beliefs and affiliations on userpages, only if we know our prejudices and biases can we work towards NPOV!

Something something about synthetic marijuana news


Police south of Dayton,, arrested the owner of a warehouse who was allegedly selling the drug,  yesterday, but he claims that his supply contained none of the ingredients currently banned under Ohio law.

Meanwhile, police in, , closed down four stores yesterday that were selling the drug that is designed to seem like on the basis that businesses were a public nuisance.

Communities in north have been coping with this problem for the past several months and finally cracked down but too late for one teen.

A teenage boy in Georgia was hospitalized Monday as a result of using synthetic marijuana. The incident followed other earlier hospitalizations of teens and a crackdown on designer marijuana in the north Georgia region last week.

The boy was hospitalized for chest pains and admitted to having smoked a brand of synthetic marijuana called "Spice," according to Lt. Wesley Burnett from the Sheriff's Dept.

Sheriff Stacy Jarrad said smoking the substance is legal for anyone 18 and older but he strongly discourages its use. He said it is his understanding that all stores in that county have ceased selling the product.

Three other teens were hospitalized in the area in December after using the "legal marijuana."

In late January, the North Georgia drug task force raided stores that sold a variety known as "Good Times" and took anywhere from 40 to around 100 packets off the shelves and then later focused the operation on warehouses where 18,900 packets were confiscated. The raid occurred because the products, which can be legal, had been sprayed with and  illegal chemicals and shipped into the state. Other brands confiscated included "Pow" and "Serenity Forever."

Larry Black, who commands the drug task force, said, "It was causing overdoses, hallucinations, heart palpitations and lot of problems where they were ending up in the emergency room."

Last summer, authorities in the northern Georgia counties of, and  raided various businesses that were engaged in selling the product, along with synthetic cocaine and methamphetamines.

Federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted wiretapping statutes based on the federal law, although most also have extended the law to cover in-person conversations. Thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia permit individuals to record conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so. These laws are referred to as “one-party consent” statutes, and as long as you are a party to the conversation, it is legal for you to record it. (Nevada also has a one-party consent statute, but the state Supreme Court has interpreted it as an all-party rule.) Twelve states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. Be aware that you will sometimes hear these referred to inaccurately as “two-party consent” laws. If there are more than two people involved in the conversation, all must consent to the taping. - See more at: http://www.rcfp.org/reporters-recording-guide/introduction#sthash.WRXSdYvh.dpuf --Bddpaux (talk) 16:59, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
