The only people to benefit from any kind of drug addiction are those that are making profits from the sales and I think it's a great tragedy that any government can 'approve' any substance that can irreversibly damage our young people's brains and potentially destroy their futures - no matter how much they may earn from the taxes on marijuana sales. Adolescents are vulnerable as the 'pleasure-seeking' part of their brain develops much faster than the 'self-control' part - leaving them much more susceptible to drug taking and other risky behaviours and they don't have the capacity to comprehend long-term consequences - reliable mail order marijuana. Therefore, in my opinion, it's deplorable that a government doesn't protect their young citizens by saying "No" to legalisation.

Particularly as some of the legalised edible marijuana is being packaged specifically to appear like lollies which would be far more attractive to children and teens! So, call me cynical but it would appear that the marketing of marijuana is actually targeting our youngsters. This is despite the fact that eating marijuana allows much more THC to be absorbed into the body compared to smoking, so it increases the likelihood of overdoses, particularly in young people.

Parents, educators and policy makers around the world have a responsibility to protect our younger generations and should not be fooled by well-oiled marketing campaigns financed by those who stand to make millions while teenager's brain structures are being destroyed along with their futures.

If you are addicted to marijuana or have a family member that is, consult a qualified Counsellor that specialises in drug addiction as well as a Naturopathic Physician that is trained in substance abuse. There are a range of safe and effective natural medicines that are specifically designed to balance the neurotransmitters in the brain which can help reduce or eliminate the craving behaviour.

The Truth About Tobacco and Marijuana

WHAT ARE THEY? Substances Are non food, mood-altering substances that are not deemed medically necessary but that are used in an effort to escape from the problems of life, to get a dreamy feeling, or a sense of well-being or of elation. Tobacco-An addictive substance containing toxic substances with eventual harmful effects when ingested into the body. Tobacco contains thirty different substances such as nicotine, arsenic, alcohol and ammonia. Nicotine is one of the oldest, the most widely used, and, in the same amounts, stronger and more addictive than cocaine. The euphoric effect of nicotine is the same as morphine and cocaine. According to one researcher, "tobacco contains as nice a collection of poisons as you will find anywhere. The tobacco used in pipes and cigars contains more nicotine, more cancerous tars, and produces more dangerous carbon monoxide gas than that used in cigarettes. Marijuana (Also known as pot, reefer, grass, ganja, or weed) has been the focus of much co...

 The time needed to create a proposal depends on how complex the proposal is, how many people need to participate, and how organized everyone is. Things to consider for the schedule are: Research time First draft writing time First draft review time Second draft and incorporating comments Final review Changes from final review Final proofread of all pages Production of PDF and/or printed proposal If the writer starts with the needed information in hand, the research time will be negligible. If the writer must collect all the data from multiple individuals, the research process will obviously take a while. If you have handed the writer an outline for your proposal, that will make writing the first draft more efficient than if the writer needs to "wing it." Here again, a pre-designed proposal kit can help with ideas and examples about the best organization for successful proposals. Every proposal needs at least one review and one final proofread. For a very simple p...

Marijuana Use May Increase Risk of Testicular Cancer

Smoking marijuana may increase men's risk of testicular cancer, a new study from the University of Southern California (USC) finds. This new study discovered that men who smoked weed or marijuana were twice as likely as men who had not to get a dangerous form of the disease. If you don't know, testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in men under the age of 45. It's also on the rise, says Scott Eggener, MD, a cancer surgeon at the University of Chicago who has studied the trend. There was a study released earlier this year that showed marijuana use is up, with 1 in 10 teens now smoking marijuana at least 20 times a month. The USC study compared a group of 163 men with testicular cancer to a similar group of 292 healthy men who were questioned about recreational drug use. The researchers of California discovered those men who used marijuana had a two-fold increased risk of testicular tumors and, more specifically, tend to affect younger men and are diffi...
