You might not want to sprinkle this on your nachos or chili. But this pepper may be able to help out with chronic pain.

The Moroccan Euphorbia resinifera plant produces a resin so spicy that it attains a whopping 16,000,000,000 on the Scoville scale, 10,000x hotter than a Carolina reaper chili.

The active ingredient in this resin is resiniferatoxin, AKA RTX, which has proven incredible promising in early animal trials for treating chronic pain. Dogs with joint pain are anesthetized and injected with RTX, which destroys their nerve endings and makes them incapable of sensing pain until the nerves regenerate, about 5 months later.

Const. Vittorio Dominelli says he is remorseful and ashamed of his actions on the evening of Jan. 27.

Justice Mary Misener says Dominelli is a "complete idiot" for tampering with evidence.

Crown attorney Philip Perlmutter, who read out an agreed statement of facts in court, says Dominelli took three hazelnut chocolate bars infused with cannabis oil from the raid.

Perlmutter says Dominelli and another officer later ate one chocolate bar and became intoxicated in about 20 minutes, and eventually radioed for help.

Five Robeson County residents were given the gift of sight Monday.

The Lumberton Lions presented each of them, ages 6 to 57, with eSight, a device made in Canada that is worn over the eyes like glasses. The club spent $10,000 for each of the devices. The recipients paid nothing for a new outlook on life.
