A single-engine plane crashed landed in a field of sugar cane in Brazil over the weekend, according to local news media Alagoas 24 Horas, killing the pilot and leaving behind 180 kilograms — or almost 400 pounds — of cocaine. So far, it just sounds like a tale of drug smuggling gone awry. Except that the coke, stacked together in neat bricks and wrapped in plastic, as shown in a video from local police obtained by Alagoas, sported a distinctive label: the official SpaceX logo, in blue and white

Cool guys may have scars, but plenty of people would relish the opportunity to get rid of their own. In new research out this week, an experimental drug has shown promise at being able to clear up lingering scar tissue. Scientists in Australia conducted the study, a phase I trial of a tropical cream developed by the company Syntara. People applying the cream experienced no major side effects, they found, and the drug appeared to trigger changes in the skin within older, or mature, scars. Though

One of the world’s most sought-after drugs has officially become a vital medication.

The WHO’s Model Lists of Essential Medicines is designed to improve affordability and access for the world’s most impactful drugs.

What Tech Jobs Don’t Drug Test? That Might Depend

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-23 12:20:51

Workers who live in states where cannabis is legal often face a conundrum. Can they continue using a substance deemed by lawmakers to be fit for public consumption, even if they may have an employer who might drug test? Or do they avoid it all together, because they don’t know what their employer’s drug policy is? And does that policy include only “hard” drugs like cocaine, opioids or methamphetamines, or does it test for cannabis too? These days, the answer is a lot more flexible than it was
