SA makes dopes of the world - South Africa new drug
Cape Town - In a gaffe certain to delight South African readers, Britain's News of the World warns of a new drug from South Africa that is "six times stronger than normal cannabis and has left some victims mentally deranged".

Under the headline Deadly New Dope Alarm the tabloid's James Mulholland warns that this "poisonous and powerful" new South African export has "lethal" effects that could "cause chaos in Scotland".

The name of this new evil? Dagga.

Police in Scotland, a country famous for spawning the characters in Irving Walsh's heroin nightmare Trainspotting, have yet to realise that "dagga" is the South African street name for ordinary cannabis.

I think 'dagga' is a typo, it's supposed to be 'dubya'.

And I believe Junior has been smoking it since he's been 15 years old.

the Scottish word "Haggis". The effect of this insidious drug on your average scotsman is terrible to behold.

In the early stages the abuser feels compelled to put on funny hats, furry codpieces, and wear a short skirt, even in the foulest weather. A tweed fetish is also common.

As the addiction progresses, the urge to toss large logs around and talk incomprehensible rubbish develops.

The terminal stage is marked by self-flagellation by bagpipe, and the desire to paint themselves blue and run naked across the Grampians.
