Global Ganja Report

A UC San Diego student left in a federal holding cell for days without food and water has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the government. Daniel Chong, 23, was picked up in a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raid April 21. After questioning him, agents told him that he would not be charged and to wait in the holding cell until they finished the paperwork to release him. He spent four days alone in the cell, apparently forgotten.

Next week, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) will bring a host of psychedelic scientists and visionary artists together in San Jose, California for the largest conference of its kind in the U.S. in 17 years.
