US artist Seth Kirby views part of his 'Joshua Light Show' at the 'High Society' exhibition in central London. Illicit drugs may be a scourge of modern life but the use of mind-altering substances is threaded through human history and cultures, from betel nut in Asia to coca leaf in the Andes to espresso coffee in Europe. With illegal drug use on the rise and trade in banned products worth some $320 billion a year, according to UN estimates, a new exhibition at London's Wellcome Collection seeks to put today's "high society" into perspective.

Spc. Simran Lamba, (l.), recites the Pledge of Allegiance for the first time as an American citizen, following his naturalization ceremony at Fort Jackson, S.C. Lamba is the first enlisted soldier to be granted a religious accommodation for his Sikh articles of faith since 1984. Sikhism, a 500-year-old religion founded in India, requires its male followers to wear a turban and beard and keep their hair uncut. Army policies since 1984 had effectively prevented Sikhs from enlisting by barring those items. But Lamba was granted a rare exception because he has skills the Army wants, the Indian languages Hindi and Punjabi. Brett Flashnick/AP Photo
