US conducted biological tests in Japan's Okinawa Islands in 1960s
The US military has reportedly conducted field experiments of biological
weapons in the Japanese island of Okinawa in the early 1960s.
A Japanese news agency has said such tests were conducted at least a dozen times between 1961 and 1962. It added that Washington released rice-blast fungus over paddy-fields. The report says the US is believed to have had China and Southeast Asia in mind while developing such crop-harming agents. The fungus is estimated to destroy enough rice to feed 60 million people each year. Okinawa was under US rule until 1972 following World War Two. The United States is currently operating a military base on the island.

Marijuana Sales Booming in Colorado
Just one week after cannabis was legalized for recreational use in Colorado, USA, sales have exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars.
Full Story:
Just one week after marijuana was legalized for recreational use in the U.S. state of Colorado, sales have exceeded five-million dollars.
The National Cannabis Industry Association says around 100-thousand buyers have visited marijuana shops, since the landmark legislation came into effect on January 1.
Employee at cannabis shop "Medicine Man", Elan Nelson, says a "vast demographic" of people have visited the store.
[Elan Nelson, Cannabis Shop Employee]:
"This really has been non-stop. No time to take a breath."
Many stores say they have already begun selling out.
Some shops, like 3D Discreet Dispensary, shut down for a couple of days to re-stock, but are now open again.
[Mason Tvert, Cannabis Industry Spokesman]:
"Generally, these businesses are very good at ensuring they constantly have product available. The ones that are doing it right are having new product available every single day, they're just constantly producing. So I don't think it's going to be too much of an issue."
