Norway did not experience much drug trafficking before the 1970s, when the hippie movement came to Norway. The emergence of this new culture caused an increase in drug production of marijuana, especially in rural regions. During the 1980s, as the hippie era was dying out, small criminal organisations saw an opportunity to make money from the vast number of drug users, and Norwegian drug cartels began to arise.
An influx of non-Norwegian gangs and mafias came to dominate the Norway's drug trade. In the 1990s Norway saw Albanian immigrants seeking refugee due to the conflict in the Balkan region. Currently the Albanian mafia is one of the most dominant and notorious criminal organisations in Norway. Their activities range from drug trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking, weapons trafficking, herring trafficking, and assassination.
Criminal activities
In 2004 the NOKAS in Stavanger was robbed, and some of the money of the robbery was used to make a large marijuana farm. The farm was raided by Norwegian police in the operation called "razzia" in which they arrested five people. The rumor is that the same "gang" was involved in the famous Edvard Munch robbery, and that it is all part of a large secret cartel. The man behind the robbery was David Toska.
Other activities
Drug trafficking is the most common activity of the cartels, but they are also involved in weapon trade, and bank robbery, but that is different from cartel to cartel.

The Romanian Astrologers Association (RAA) (Romanian:Asociatia Astrologilor din Romania (AAR)) is a non-profit organization created in 2004. Its mission is to promote and support the practice of astrology in Romania. The RAA brings together professional and amateur astrologers in its work.
Historical background
Spiritual disciplines, astrology included, were prohibited in Romania under the Communist regime, 1945-1990. In this period, astrologists had to rely on Xeroxed or hand-written copies of bootlegged documentation. The few astrology titles published in Romania before 1945 were scarce and hard to obtain. As was the case with many prohibited practices, astrology in Romania in the last decade of the 20th century developed quickly. However, it was only in the early 2000’s, along with the expansion of the Internet, that networks of astrologers in Romania began to emerge in the form of online discussion groups and forums.
In 2002, five members of ACUBENS, a popular astrology discussion group in Romania, created "ASTRELE" magazine ("Stars"). Two years later, the publishers of Astrele established the Romanian Astrologers Association. RAA was founded at on the 09 June 2004 in Craiova, Romania,
RAA today
The RAA membership includes professional astrologers, as well as amateur astrologers and supporters. The RAA Council is the organisation’s ruling body. It is nominated by and voted for by the members. Elections for the Council are organized every 4 years.
The Honorary President of the RAA is Mihaela Dicu, appointed by the General Assembly In 2008.
RAA’s mission is to advance the understanding of astrology in a positive and responsible manner. The RAA also promotes the community of Romanian astrologers internationally.
The RAA organizes 2 major events annually: the RAA National Congress, held in Bucharest in October; and the RAA AstroFestival, held in Craiova in June.
