(AP) - Aimee Polacci, garden product manager, carries a tray of cannabis clones to be sold at the Peace in Medicine dispensary in Sebastopol, Calif., Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009. The lone medical marijuana dispensary in this Northern California wine country enclave has become such a pot destination that it has more patients on its rolls than the town has people. But local officials view the business as a welcome addition to the community and a strong source of tax revenue during the recession. The Peace in Medicine marijuana dispensary is a clean, modern operation occupying a recently closed Ford dealership near downtown and could easily be mistaken for a doctor's office, if not for the three security guards and overwhelming skunky smell of pot.(AP Photo/Russel A.

(Reuters) - Yoon Jin-won, owner of the Dduktak franchise and head of the Korea Liquor Culture Institute, pours makgeolli cocktail in a glass at Dduktak, a makgeolli-themed bar in Seoul October 16, 2009. The South Korean government makes no secret of its desire to see the country's often fiery cuisine appreciated by a wider international audience. But if recent signs are anything to go by, it may have more luck with the local firewater -- especially makgeolli, a milky rice wine traditionally a staple of the rural poor that is now winning converts among tourists and fashion-conscious youth.
