Headline: PM Says He is ‘Ready’ to Meet with Abbas for Negotiations
Headline: Islamic Jihad leader reportedly in Cairo for ceasefire talks
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met on Tuesday with a group of women from the Women Wage Peace activist group. This summer members of the group held a weeks-long protest, entitled “Fasting with them,” outside the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem to mark the one year anniversary of Operation Protective Edge. Woman Wage Peace, which includes members from all sectors, political views and religions, calls on the government to prioritize negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, in the hopes of achieving a peace agreement. During the meeting, the women told Netanyahu about why their movement was established and asked him to initiate and lead a process to come to an agreement with the Palestinians. The Prime Minister expressed his desire to return to the negotiating table and said, “I have no preconditions for negotiations. I am ready now to go to Ramallah or any other place in order to meet and hold direct negotiations without preconditions.” “We want to conduct negotiations with the Palestinians,” he continued. “The solution is two states for two peoples – a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the national state of the Jewish People.” “If you intend to meet with Abu Mazen [PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas], tell him that I am ready to meet if he is,” Netanyahu concluded.

Headline: Abbas and Fatah Encourage ‘Religious War’ over Temple Mount
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is continuing to openly encourage a religious war to gain exclusive Muslim control over Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. The Temple Mount also houses the Al Aqsa Mosque and Islamic complex, which are built atop the ruins of two Jewish temples. Islamist groups, along with the PA and its supporters, have sought to deny any Jewish connection to the site, claiming it is a Muslim or “Palestinian” holy site. Muslim extremists have also waged a violent campaign aimed at preventing growing number of Jewish visitors from accessing the site, while systematically destroying ancient Jewish artifacts. According to Palestinian Media Watch, in an open letter to Palestinian university students beginning the new academic year, Abbas urged them to “carry out Ribat” – an Arabic term for a religious war to maintain Muslim control over land claimed as Islamic. Text of the letter was posted to the official Facebook page of Abbas’s Fatah faction on August 17, and translated by PMW: In the name of Allah the Merciful and Compassionate, And those who strive for Us – We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good. (Quran, Sura 29:69, translation Sahih International) Allah the Supreme spoke truth. We will continue to stand firm and carry out Ribat in Jerusalem and its surroundings until Judgement Day. Then the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah, and will say: ‘When is it [Allah’s victory]? It might be here soon.’

Headline: Gaza Rockets Explode on Palestinian Side, Cause Casualties
Two rockets that were fired by Gaza terrorists on Tuesday night exploded on the Gaza side of the border. Palestinian Authority-based media reported that one of the rockets exploded in the vicinity of a home, causing casualties. The incident marks the second time in less than 24 hours that Gaza terrorists have unsuccessfully attempted to fire a rocket on Israel. Sirens were heard on Tuesday morning, around 5:20 a.m. local time, in the Hof Ashkelon area of southern Israel, but the IDF said that the sirens were a result of a failed attempt to fire rockets from Gaza. There have been several rocket attacks from Gaza in recent weeks, but there have been several instances in which the rockets missed Israel. In the last month alone three such rockets fell in Gaza, landing short of their mark. While Hamas has had its rocket arsenals buoyed up by Iranian and other foreign technology, an Israeli crackdown on smuggled weaponry and weapon materials together with an Egyptian siege on the Sinai border has led Hamas to turn increasingly to its domestic rocket production industry to create new missiles.

Headline: Netanyahu May Allow Soldiers to Shoot at Terrorists
The army soon may be allowed to act like an army and actually fire at terrorists even if soldiers might only be liable to be wounded and not killed. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Security Cabinet Wednesday morning that there will be a re-examination of a recent decision to prohibit soldiers from shooting at rock-throwing and firebombing terrorists unless their lives are in immediate danger. He said: Since the legal system is finding it difficult to deal with stone-throwing by minors, changing open-fire orders regarding the throwing of stones and firebombs will be examined, as will be the imposition – by law – of minimum sentences for those who throw stones and firebombs. Stiffer sentences, including several years in prison, for rock-throwers already are on the agenda following an imitative by Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked.The issue of minors throwing rocks, intended to kill Israeli drivers either with a direct hit in the face or by causing them to lose control of their vehicles and crash, was highlighted around the world earlier this week with the video of a Palestinian Authority family whose children are “stars” in rock-throwing attacks on soldiers, whose reactions are filmed and edited to portray the children as innocent victims of a big bad army. The video showed the children and adults punching and beating the soldier, who sat helpless and without even aiming his semi-automatic rifle at them.

Headline: The groups protesting in Beirut
Lebanese police moved to eject protesters who occupied part of the environment ministry on Tuesday, in an escalation of a campaign against the country’s trash crisis and a stagnant political class. The forcible evacuation began some six hours after several dozen protesters entered the ministry to demand the resignation of Environment Minister Mohammad Machnouk. Activists from the “You Stink” campaign said police had beaten protesters, and a Red Cross official said medics treated several people for wounds sustained in scuffles with security forces. The sit-in was an unexpected escalation of a campaign that began over a trash crisis but has evolved into a broad-based movement against government impotence and corruption. As night fell, several hundred protesters demonstrated outside the ministry in support of the last activists who remained inside, occasionally skirmishing with security forces. “We will continue! Revolution!” they chanted. A security source confirmed that the evacuation of protesters had begun, with police removing a group gradually from the seventh floor of the building in central Beirut. A source at the interior ministry said some 14 demonstrators remained inside and were insisting police would have to handcuff and remove them by force.

Syria Headline: Car bomb kills 10 in coastal stronghold of Syria’s Assad
At least 10 people were killed and dozens wounded when a car bomb exploded in the Syrian city of Latakia on Wednesday, state television said, in a rare attack in a coastal stronghold of President Bashar al-Assad. In Latakia, the car bomb targeted a main square, state television said. There was no claim of responsibility for the bombing, which state media said was carried out by “terrorists”, a term it uses to describe insurgents fighting to topple Assad. Video footage showed wrecked and burning vehicles, with rescue workers and civilians fighting the fires. The governor of Latakia, Ibrahim Khader al Salem, told pro-government television channels that insurgents sought to strike at the heart of government-held safe areas that had become a refuge for tens of thousands of displaced families in an attempt to sow “destruction and fear”. State media said a white van filled with at least half a ton of explosives was parked near a school and had created a huge crater in the square that lies at a crossroad inside the port city. At least two explosive-laden cars had been discovered in recent days in the city in foiled attempts to blow up heavily populated areas, it said. Separately, a mortar attack on part of the campus of Damascus University killed at least two students and wounded several, state media said. In a third attack, heavy shelling killed three civilians and wounded 45 in Jaramana city, east of Damascus. On Wednesday Syrian air force strikes killed at least 14 people east of Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said. The strikes hit Douma, Ghouta and Saqba and follow deadly strikes in the area in recent days.

Syria Headline: Islamic State allegedly strikes Aleppo and Al-Hasakah with chemical weapons
The Islamic State (IS) has reportedly struck both Marea, 26km north of Aleppo, and Al-Hasakah to the east with chemical weapons, local medical staff and activists told Syria Direct on Wednesday. “Patient injuries are similar to the attack on Marea on August 21,” Tariq Najjar, Marea Hospital administrative director told Syria Direct on Wednesday, describing the attack the day before. As many as 20 people were injured in the reported chemical weapons attack against Marea, which filled the city with a “loathsome smell,” reported pro-opposition Orient News on Tuesday. Both alleged chemical attacks are reported attempts by IS to regain the upper hand in battles against rebels in north Aleppo and al-Hasakah. IS has encircled Marea, pounding it with artillery, infantry and car-bomb attacks, as part of a broader campaign to preemptively disrupt Turkey’s early-August plan to establish an IS-free “safe zone” in north Aleppo. On-the-ground reports hint that IS might have deployed mustard agent against the north-central Hasakah neighborhood of a-Salehiyah.
“The shell left a disgusting smell and shrapnel covered in a yellow, gold-colored substance,” eyewitnesses told the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (YPD) on Tuesday.
Syria Direct could not immediately verify a video of victim injuries or reported chemical artillery shells, filmed by pro-opposition Marea News Agency on Tuesday.

Syria Headline: US launches drone campaign in Syria – report
The CIA and US special forces are carrying out a secret campaign using armed drones to target and kill Islamic State leaders in Syria, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. The clandestine program is separate from America’s wider military operations against IS fighters, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed US officials. Among those so far killed is Junaid Hussain, a jihadist hacker from Britain who the Pentagon said was recruiting Islamic State sympathizers to carry out lone wolf attacks in the West. Officials told The Post that the drone program has only resulted in a handful of strikes, which are being carried out by the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). The CIA’s main role in the operation is identifying and locating senior IS leaders. The officials said the program was focusing on “high value targets.” A decision to use the Central Intelligence Agency’s Counterterrorism Center (CTC) and JSOC in the operation reflects rising anxiety about the spread of IS fighters, the Post reported.

Iraq Headline: Multiple suicide attacks kill 12 Iraqi troops, militiamen
A series of suicide attacks by the Daesh terror group outside a town in Iraq’s western Anbar province on Tuesday killed 12 soldiers and allied Sunni militiamen, military and hospital officials said. They said the attack began when Daesh militants shelled army and militia positions outside the town of Haditha with mortars. They followed up with two suicide bombers who blew themselves up near the troops and later with three suicide car bombings. Five soldiers and three Sunni tribesmen were wounded in the attacks, the officials said. Air strikes by the US-led alliance destroyed six Daesh vehicles and killed 13 militants as they approached the site, where heavy clashes erupted, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.

Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said Turkish authorities were in contact with those in Iraq.

Clashes broke out between Kurdish fighters of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and militants of the Islamic State (ISIS) in the vicinity of Tel Aybad city in the northern countryside of Raqqa, military sources reported on Tuesday. At least two ISIS militants were killed and four injured during clashes with Kurdish YPG fighters in the town of Ain Issa near Tel Abyad city. Speaking to ARA News, YPG fighter Habun Osman said that ISIS extremists infiltrated into Ain Issa town in an attempt to attack Kurdish headquarters on Tuesday. “However, our forces were prepared for such operations and responded immediately by killing and injuring several ISIS terrorists, while the rest were forced to withdraw,” Osman said. Fighters of the YPG also destroyed two ISIS vehicles during the clashes of Ain Issa, the source said.

The Islamic State’s so-called “province” in the Caucasus region has claimed responsibility for its first official attack since its was established earlier this year. In a statement released online (seen above), and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group, the group says “the soldiers of the Caliphate were able to mount an attack on barracks of the Russian army in southern Dagestan, in Magharamakint village.” The raid allegedly “led to the killing and wounding of a number of them.” Afterwards, “the soldiers of the Caliphate returned to their positions safely and with spoils, and unto Allah is all praise and gratitude,” SITE’s translation reads. The Islamic State announced its Caucasus branch in June, but the jihadists had not claimed responsibility for any attacks since then.

Headline: Turkish soldier killed by cross-border fire
On Tuesday, at least one Turkish soldier was killed and two others wounded in the southern province of Kilis by cross-border fire near Syria, authorities said. The fire came from Syrian territory held by militants of the Islamic State (ISIS), a Turkish official told Reuters. Kilis province, adjacent to Syrian territory held by ISIS, has seen several such incidents in the recent weeks, especially after Turkey joined the U.S.-led coalition by striking ISIS positions in neighboring Syria. The Turkish authorities have also opened airbases for warplanes of the U.S.-led coalition amid intensifying strikes on ISIS headquarters in Syria and Iraq. Turkey has recently intensified security measures along the borderline with war-torn Syria. Ankara has started to construct a 45 kilometer-long concrete wall along its border with Syria, local media reported last week.

Headline: IS issues death warrant against Turkish President Erdogan
The Islamic State has issued a death warrant against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The fatwa, posted online on Monday by an IS-affiliated group called Al-Battar media foundation, comes after Turkey participated for the first time last Friday in US-led coalition airstrikes against the militant group. The religious edict said to be written by Shaykh Abu Khabab al-Iraqi declares Erdogan an “apostate” for supporting and collaborating with the US in its campaign against “fellow Muslims”. The authenticity of the statement cannot be independently verified, IS also accuses Erdogan of “shedding Muslim blood” and acting in unison with apostate Crusaders, Alawites and Jews. “It is imperative to acknowledge that Erdogan and his men have declared apostasy by opening their doors to the coalition which has declared war on Muslims,” the statement said. “The coalition is a crusade led by the US and Erdogan is a mere puppet in their hands. He must now be eliminated.” In the detailed proclamation, which contains 13 sub-sections, the group uses religious reasoning to sentence Erdogan to death by likening him to other apostates. It says that unless he “repents from supporting the coalition” and goes back on his actions, he faces death.

Headline: Obama wins critical backing on Iran deal, virtually ensuring survival in Congress
The Obama administration now appears to have enough support in Congress to stave off Republican efforts to reject the president’s controversial Iran nuclear deal, after a retiring Maryland Democratic senator came out Wednesday morning in favor of the pact. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., announced her support for the deal as Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a lengthy and detailed address in Philadelphia defending the accord. In his speech, Kerry disputed what he called “false information” circulating on the deal. He said, contrary to the views of many critics, that the deal provides “access” to keep Iran in check, preserves “every option” to respond if Iran balks, and has elements that will last “for the lifetime of Iran’s nuclear program.” “President Obama and I are convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that the framework that we have put forward will get the job done,” Kerry said.

Headline: ‘Spoil peace, face consequences:’ U.S. warns South Sudan over ceasefire
The United States on Tuesday warned both sides fighting in South Sudan to down arms or face sanctions that have already been authorized by the U.N. Security Council. A truce aimed at ending the brutal civil war between government and rebel forces in South Sudan, the world’s newest nation and one of its most troubled, came into effect on Saturday. But rebel leader Riek Machar has already accused President Salva Kiir’s forces of breaking the ceasefire and the peace process is in danger, while 200,000 civilians are sheltering in U.N. bases. The U.S. State Department did not attribute blame for the latest fighting but demanded that it cease and reminded the warring parties that the Security Council has already approved sanctions. “The United States condemns the recent fighting in Jonglei State and Upper Nile State in South Sudan,” deputy spokesman Mark Toner said. “Anyone acting to spoil the peace agreement implementation will face consequences.” A U.N. Security Council resolution has authorized targeted sanctions and an arms embargo if fighting continues.

Libya
Headline: Libya’s official government bans Yemenis, Iranians, Pakistanis from entry
Libya’s internationally recognized administration based in the east has banned Yemenis, Iranians and Pakistanis from entering the divided country, a military statement said on Tuesday. The move widens a visa ban already applied to Sudanese, Bangladeshis, Palestinians and Syrians. Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni runs only a rump state in eastern Libya after a rival group seized Tripoli a year ago, setting ups its own parliament and a government not recognized by world powers. Thinni’s government and allied security forces would therefore only be able to enforce the ban at the eastern airports of Tobruk and Labraq and the land crossing with Egypt. Top army commander Khalifa Haftar, allied to Thinni, signed the latest ban, which cited the overall security situation and a need to preserve “the nation’s security and stability”. The decision, a copy of which was received by Reuters and confirmed by a senior military official, also said that Sudanese and Bangladeshi were not allowed to come to Libya, as mentioned in previous government statements.

Fighters from the al-Shabab militant Islamist group have overrun an African Union military base in southern Somalia, inflicting heavy casualties, witnesses have told the BBC. The militants said they have killed 70 AU soldiers at the Janale base, 90km (55 miles) south-west of the capital. AU forces say they are back in control after taking a “tactical withdrawal”. Al-Shabab, part of al-Qaeda, is battling the AU-backed government for control of Somalia. Residents said the attack started with a suicide car bombing at the base’s gate, followed by sustained gunfire which lasted more than an hour. They told the BBC Somali service that AU forces were seen leaving the base, which is run by the Ugandan troops. They said they counted the bodies of 20 AU soldiers and later they saw more troops arriving at the base after the militants had left with weapons. The AU mission in Somalia (Amisom) says the situation is complex and it does not yet have casualty figures. The BBC’s Mohamed Mualimu in the capital, Mogadishu, says the situation in the area is very tense and few residents remain there. The militants had earlier damaged a nearby bridge with a massive bomb to prevent troops from escaping, Col Ahmed Hassan from the Somali army told the Associated Press.

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen on horseback killed at least 24 people in two separate attacks on villages in northeast Nigeria, military and vigilante sources said on Wednesday. The gunmen opened fire and threw explosive devices in Kolori and Ba’ana Imam, in Damboa Local Government, Borno state, in the attacks on Monday evening. A military source, who wished to remain unnamed, said details only emerged on Tuesday evening when people who escaped arrived in Biu, the nearest major town. “The area is remote and about 24 people were killed,” he said. Usman Buka, part of a vigilante group formed to fight militants, said he went to the affected villages late on Tuesday and heard details of the attacks. “I was told Boko Haram people came on horses, firing into houses and at fleeing villagers,” Buka said by telephone from Biu, noting that the village of Kolori was targeted first. “They killed 17 people, while seven people were injured. They went to Ba’ana Imam, a few kilometers (miles) away, and killed seven people,” he said. Boko Haram’s insurgency in Africa’s most populous country has displaced about 1.5 million people since 2009.

The casualties were caused after police opened fire Tuesday on members of an ethnic group demanding a new province in the country’s draft constitution. Police official Kamal Singh Bam said at least four members of the Madhesi community lost their lives after security forces opened fire in the town of Birgunj, located about 160 kilometers south of the capital, Kathmandu. The official accused the protesters of violating a curfew order and attempting to attack the police station in the troubled region. Another protester was killed in Kalaiya town, just east of Birgunj during anti-charter protests. Meanwhile, some reports indicate that several protesters were also injured during the violent clashes. The ethnic Madhesi protesters want a province named after their group in the area. Nepal has experienced a series of violent protests in recent days by various groups demanding statehood in the draft constitution.

Medical officials say at least 20 people have been killed by two bombs that blew up at a mosque in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. Police officials say a suicide bomber blew himself up Wednesday inside the mosque during the evening call to prayers, while a car bomb exploded outside the mosque’s door. Medical officials say the death toll may rise with people now in operating rooms in several hospitals.

Hamid Ali, a witness at the scene, says the explosion left body parts and bloodied floors in the mosque frequented by both Sunni and Shiite Muslims. Meanwhile, Unidentified gunmen fatally shot two Red Cross aid workers Wednesday in Yemen’s northern province of Amran, the international organization said. The Red Cross workers, who were Yemeni nationals, were traveling from a mission in the city of Saada to the main office in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital. The workers were traveling with two others in two vehicles clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem. The vehicles were stopped by gunmen who opened fire. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. “We are shocked and appalled by the brutal killing of two of our staff members earlier today in Amran, Yemen,” the International Committee of the Red Cross in Yemen said in a statement. “We condemn in strongest possible terms the brutal targeting of the staff who put themselves in harm’s way to help improve lives of others.” The two other people yet to be identified who traveled with the Red Cross workers are safe.

Headline: Putin says dump dollar
Russian President Vladimir Putin has drafted a bill that aims to eliminate the US dollar and the euro from trade between CIS countries. This means the creation of a single financial market between Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and other countries of the former Soviet Union. “This would help expand the use of national currencies in foreign trade payments and financial services and thus create preconditions for greater liquidity of domestic currency markets”, said a statement from Kremlin. The bill would also help to facilitate trade in the region and help to achieve macro-economic stability. Within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) the countries have also discussed the possibility of switching to national currencies. According to the agreement between Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan, an obligatory transition to settlements in the national currencies (Russian ruble, Belarusian ruble, dram and tenge respectively) must occur in 2025-2030. Today, some 50 percent of turnover in the EEU is in dollars and euro, which increases the dependence of the union on countries issuing those currencies. Outside the CIS and EEU, Russia and China have been trying to curtail the dollar’s dominance as well.

Seven people have died and 32 sickened in a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak at a veterans home in Quincy, Illinois, state veterans and health officials said in a statement on Tuesday. The seven residents who died had underlying medical conditions, the statement said, adding that results are pending from tests to determine whether other residents have contracted the disease. Nearly 450 people call the Illinois Veterans’ Home at Quincy home, and it is the largest and oldest veterans home in the state, the home’s website said. The outbreak in Quincy, located about 240 miles southwest of Chicago, follows recent outbreaks of the respiratory illness that killed a dozen people in New York City and has sickened inmates at a California prison.

Apostasy Amos 8:11 1 Timohty 4:1 2 Peter2:1-3 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord.” (Amos) “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1) “ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” (2 Peter 2:1-3)
Headline: Pope Francis: Priests Can Forgive Abortion If Women Are ‘Contrite’
Pope Francis will allow Roman Catholic priests to absolve women who have had abortions if they seek forgiveness during the upcoming Holy Year of Mercy, the Vatican announced Tuesday. The pontiff said he will allow priests “discretion to absolve of the sin of abortion those who have procured it and who, with contrite heart, seek forgiveness for it” during the special year, beginning December 8. “I am well aware of the pressure that has led [women] to this decision,” he wrote in the announcement. “I know that it is an existential and moral ordeal.” Abortion is considered a grave sin by the Catholic church, and those who seek it are usually excommunicated. In normal circumstances, forgiveness can only be granted by senior church figures. Deputy Vatican spokesman Father Ciro Benedettini told Reuters that “for now” the change would apply only during the Holy Year. The pope’s letter did not mention people who perform abortions.

Increase in Drugs Revelation 9:21 “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
In Revelation 9:21 we see Jesus speaking to us about drug’s. The words “sorceries” in Revelation 9:21 is the Greek word pharmakia from which comes our word “pharmacy”. It signifies the use of medicine, drugs, spells, such as those used in witchcraft and those used today by those who are seeking a greater “high”. This generation was to be labeled a drug generation and we are.
Headline: A new, deadly drug is extremely popular among high-school students
Synthetic cannabinoids, commonly referred to as synthetic marijuana, are a new deadly drug that are soaring in popularity among high-school-aged students, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration. “[Synthetic cannabinoids] are the second most popular drug used by high school seniors, with marijuana being the first,” DEA spokesman Matthew Barden told Business Insider. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 11% of all high-school seniors used synthetic cannabinoids in 2012, and that number is likely to have grown. New York City’s police commissioner, William Bratton, recently said that the drug, which he referred to as “weaponized marijuana,” is of “great and growing concern” to the city’s police force, which has seen a spike in hospitalizations from the drug. Barden explains that the drugs are usually marketed to adolescents as a synthetic form of marijuana that is safer and cheaper and won’t show up on a drug test. But according to the Erowid Center, which seeks to educate people on drugs, “synthetic marijuana” is a huge misnomer for these drugs, since they produce far different effects and can be up to 100 times more potent than traditional marijuana. Synthetic cannabinoids are made of dangerous research chemicals that are usually imported from drug traffickers in China and mixed into a solvent, according to Barden. The solvent is then sprayed on crushed-up tea leaves that are meant to look like marijuana. The drug is supposed to mimic the effects of a marijuana high by having the chemicals in the drug bind to the brain’s CB1 receptors.
