The infamous comedian Tommy Chong, who combined with comic partner Cheech Marin made a living performing live shows, recording records, and making films touting the recreational benefits of marijuana use, was serious when he was quoted by WOAI on May 14 stating that he feels legalizing marijuana could save the U.S.
It was years before I connected again with all the friends that are old and by that time most had died, were in jail, moved away or went'straight'. They'd bought a home in the suburbs, except for a bit of marijuana, had stopped doing drugs and were raising their two sons, when I saw Phil and Laura again. Life became fairly normal except for the fact that we survivors appeared to have X-ray vision of a type - we saw through the normal, we reached beyond our parents' suburban life.
Conventional wisdom that is anti-marijuana will step up to say that it's not controlled, and I may possibly harm myself. No individual in history has ever died of a marijuana overdose. Not one. You can not kill yourself with bud, even if you try really, really hard. Is that you'll fall asleep after eating one more cookie that you did not really need.
Tommy's work and activism have made him a prime target for the U.S. authorities who detained him in 2003, for selling water pipes through the mail. After serving a sentence in a federal prison in California, Tommy's belief in the culture and resolve to make marijuana legal are even stronger than ever.
Lots of the reports I've read state that"her fans are in shock" or"the world is in shock" in her loss. I am not. Eventually alcohol and drug misuse catches up to the abuser no matter how successful they are. In this time of"recreational marijuana," many people say that it is benign and"what I do is my own business." Whitney left behind children that are fans who will miss her, friends who will regret they hadn't done more, and motherless. What impact does alcohol abuse and her drug for the past ten years have on her children? When entertainers are glorified for their lifestyles that are partying, what impact does that have on young impressionable children who aspire to someday be like Whitney Houston?
A new controversy is medical marijuana. According to marijuana advocates, smoking pot can cure everything. It's not only for creating a sense of humor and desire enhancement. With bud able to cure many diseases you would think it would be very popular among Americans. Hmmm Grandma would like a clip for Christmas. However, according to the news shows, medical marijuana patients are extremely young. According to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, a medical marijuana patient's average age is 41. Is it that citizens are more healthy than grandchildren and their children?
I have a friend who was fading away from lung cancer. He was ready to give up, tired of living weak and defeated. He had heard about marijuana helping with chemo, but didn't know there was a way around smoking it. His wife learned how to make marijuana cookies and everything turned around. He experienced the appetite increase, ate better than he had in months, and got stronger everyday. And he felt a lot better. These positive changes encouraged him to keep fighting; suddenly the battle didn't seem quite over. Last time I saw him, he looked more like a triathlete than a cancer patient.
It's usually recommended explanation to hook your carbon filter up inside your grow environment. This is to ensure that the air has been sucked through the filter, rather than pushed through. If you put the filter at the end of your exhaust where the air is being pushed out, it is going to keep the odor from getting out, but additionally, it will severely limit your exhaust air flow. By sucking the air through the filter first, then exhausting it, you are able to maintain almost the exact same airflow as you had before adding the filter.
