Police seize over 2 kilos of marijuana

Prince Albert police made a substantial drug bust yesterday, after answering a disturbance complaint. When officers arrived at a home in the 1000 Block of First St. E., they found a man outside bleeding from the head. Upon entering the home, officers saw firearms in plain sight. The occupants of the house were arrested for firearms offences, and police then conducted a search of the residence.

The 39-year-old male from Prince Albert, who was not named by police, is charged with 30 counts including numerous weapons charges and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. The suspect made his first appearance in Prince Albert Provincial Court yesterday and was released on undertaking to appear in court next on Dec. 18, 2017.

Arkansas judge blocks medical marijuana dispensaries in the state

After medical marijuana was approved in the state of Arkansas in early-2017 a judge struck down the idea of letting the businesses sell the plant which grows in the ground naturally. Pulaski County Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen last month ruled that the state’s licensing process for the cultivation facilities violated a 2016 voter-approved constitutional amendment legalizing marijuana for patients with certain medical conditions. To boot, the state made it a stiffer penalty for those who get caught with the plant who do not have a license for medical, making the entire process a sham to enslave and further criminalize.

Urban Dictionary: 420

The term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation. So there ya go, someone’s parents out there invented the term 4/20. And remember this: There are NOT 420 chemicals in Weed.

Goes up or down depending on what you’re smoking.

Science Lies | Marijuana Prophet | High Nostradamus | Pillow Talk TV comedy web series

Many Canadians are curious about marijuana edibles, but wary of risk to kids: survey

HALIFAX – Canadians appear to have an appetite for marijuana-infused munchies, according to a new survey that found a healthy majority both supported the legalization of recreational pot use but had clear concerns about children’s access to edible products containing cannabis. Just over 45 per cent said they would buy food containing marijuana, with 46 per cent saying they would purchase pot-laced baked goods like brownies and muffins if they were legal. People are willing to accept the legalization of non-medicinal marijuana but … recognize societal risks related to doing so. The aim of the survey, done over four weeks in August, was to gauge Canadians’ perception of recreational marijuana as a food ingredient when it is legalized next July, if they would use it in their diet and, if so, how they would prepare it.

It found that despite people’s apparent willingness to try edible products, the bulk of survey participants indicated they didn’t know how to cook with marijuana at home and most said they did not consider it a healthy ingredient. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists legalizing marijuana will keep pot out of the hands of children and deny criminals the profits of back-alley dealing. Ottawa has said it will not allow the purchase of edible products until it develops regulatory oversight for the goods, including rules on serving sizes and potency, child-resistant packaging requirements and health warnings. Charlebois says that once marijuana becomes legal it will likely be mixed into a variety of products before Ottawa comes up with such measures. We should think about rolling out edibles as soon as possible with clear guidelines for the industry.

Charlebois cited the example of Colorado, which legalized marijuana in 2012 without regulations over the sale of cannabis-infused edibles. Colorado saw an increase in the number of marijuana-related poisonings, particularly accidental ingestion by children, in the first year of its new regime and eventually ushered in new regulations limiting THC levels in edible items. Still, Charlebois says legalized marijuana could be the next big lucrative trend in the Canadian food industry, with curiosity being the Number 1 reason survey participants cited for wanting to try the goods.

Pot can relieve chronic pain in adults, so advocates for liberalizing marijuana laws have proposed it as a lower-risk alternative to opioids. Some research suggests marijuana may encourage opioid use, and so might make the epidemic worse. The new studies don’t directly assess the effect of legalizing marijuana on opioid addiction and overdose deaths. It compared the states where marijuana laws took effect versus states without such laws. In this Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018 file photo, a woman holds the prescribed medical marijuana product used to treat her daughter’s epilepsy after making a purchase at a medical marijuana dispensary in Butler, Pa.

Two new studies released on Monday, April 2, 2018 suggest that legalization of marijuana may reduce the prescribing of opioids. When states with such a law went on to also allow recreational marijuana use by adults, there was an additional drop averaging about 6 per cent. That suggest the medical marijuana laws didn’t reach some people who could benefit from using marijuana instead of opioids, said Hefei Wen of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, one of the study authors. Every year from 2010 through 2015, researchers compared states with a medical marijuana law in effect to those without one. Researchers found that Medicare patients in states with marijuana dispensaries filled prescriptions for about 14 percent fewer daily doses of opioids than those in other states.

W. David Bradford, an economist at the University of Georgia in Athens who’s an author of the second study, said the results add to other findings that suggest to experts that marijuana is a viable alternative to opioids. For one thing, they don’t reveal whether individual patients actually reduced or avoided using opioids because of the increased access to marijuana. They called for states and the federal government to pay for more studies to clarify the effect of marijuana use on opioid use, saying such research is needed for science to guide policy-making.

Shifting views on marijuana highlight just how differently people of color are impacted by drug laws

This June 5, 2017, file photo shows a marijuana leaf in the vegetative room at a cannabis cultivator in Fairbanks, Alaska. As views shift on the decriminalization of marijuana, and current and former lawmakers question existing drug laws, the fact that people of color, particularly from low-income communities, are still suffering consequences from decades-old marijuana laws is deeply concerning, critics say. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced Friday that he was also changing his stance on marijuana. Attitudes have obviously evolved on marijuana on a national level.

Legal marijuana sales exceeded $9 billion in 2017, according to an industry estimate. The Washington Post previously reported that polls show that more than 60 percent of Americans favor legalizing marijuana completely and more than 90 percent are in favor of legal medical use. Sen. Kirsten Gillbrand noted the disparity in how marijuana laws affect people of color, as well as low-income people. A Drug Policy Alliance report showed that arrests for offenses such as possession under the age of 21, public consumption and other still-illegal actions related to marijuana are higher for black people.

Vox reported that several studies have found that even in places where pot is legal, black people are still more likely to be arrested for marijuana offenses compared to white people. In Colorado, according to a 2016 public safety report, the marijuana arrest rate for whites and Hispanics is comparable, but the marijuana arrest rate for African Americans is almost three times that of whites. The relationship between the disproportionately high incarceration rate of black people and the role race plays in this country’s history with drug decriminalization is likely to continue to be a conversation as Americans revisit U.S. drug laws. How people of color in urban areas have been treated by this country’s drug laws appears to be a lesser concern right now.

Maine House overturns governor’s veto of marijuana bill

The Maine House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to override Gov. Paul LePage’s veto of a measure to allow the commercial sale of marijuana in the state. The House overrode the veto with a 109-39 vote, according to The Portland Press Herald. The bill now heads to the state Senate, where lawmakers must vote by a two-thirds margin to overturn LePage’s veto. The newspaper previously reported that senators believe they have the support to overturn a veto.

The measure was crafted by a special legislative committee, and previously passed the House and Senate by wide margins. LePage vetoed the measure arguing that it would violate federal law. Nine states, including Maine, and the District of Columbia have moved to legalize recreational marijuana use, but the substance remains federally prohibited. Although possession of recreational marijuana has been legal in Maine since 2016, there has been no process to legally sell it in the state. The post Maine House overturns governor’s veto of marijuana bill appeared first on Cannabis Business Executive – Cannabis and Marijuana industry news.

Leftists Now Say Term ‘Marijuana’ Racist » Alex Jones’ Infowars: There’s a war on for your mind!

Leftists have set their sights on the latest problematic word in their feverish attempt to rewrite language. The word marijuana is now racist and has been expunged from the Newspeak dictionary. The article goes on to state that despite legalization, high arrests continue to be made in certain areas due to obvious racism. Of course the simple explanation is that more police officers are patrolling black neighborhoods due to high violent crime rates, meaning marijuana users are more likely to be caught in those areas. While no one denies the obvious over-the-top narrative pushed by the government during the reefer-madness era, the notion that marijuana arrests are solely the result of racism is disproven by the facts.

Twitter users were quick to criticize the story for what they felt was yet another non-issue. You damage your credibility and alienate your readers. Alexhalperin What ever you have been smoking to convince you that this was even remotely a good article, I want some. Quite possibly the stupidest thing I’ve read all day.

Why Jeff Sessions Hates Marijuana

More marijuana education

From growing the perfect crop to marketing within restrictive rules, Canadian colleges and universities are cultivating courses for those wanting to work in the booming marijuana industry. Kwantlen Polytechnic University started offering online courses in cannabis production, marketing and financing about three years ago after officials at the British Columbia school realized there was a need for training and education around medicinal marijuana, said David Purcell, the university’s director of emerging business. About 1,200 people have taken the classes, most of whom are between 25 and 40 years old and were working full-time in another industry, he said. The university isn’t alone in offering marijuana-related courses. Niagara College is working on a certificate in marijuana production and the New Brunswick Community College is already teaching cultivation.

There’s been a void in the educational marketplace when it comes to training specifically for the burgeoning marijuana market, said Debbie Johnston, dean of the school of continuing education at Durham College in Oshawa, Ont. Durham College recently began offering a two-day course that provides an introduction to all things marijuana. Marijuana companies are looking for professionals, like accountants or business managers, who have industry-specific knowledge, from the terminology and history of the industry to the regulatory framework and basics of cannabis plants, Johnston added. Alison McMahon runs Cannabis at Work, a recruiting agency for marijuana companies, and said completing cannabis courses can help candidates stand out from the crowd. There aren’t a lot of job seekers with cannabis education on their resumes, McMahon noted, but that’s likely to change as both the industry and educational offerings grow.

Kwantlen and Durham College are both planning to expand the variety of marijuana classes on offer. A course teaching responsible retail sales, safe handling and strain identification will soon be offered through Kwantlen, and the school is also working on a cultivation course that will see students go out and work with cannabis plants at licensed production facilities, Purcell said.

For over 9 years led grow light manufacture experience, we have provided a lot OEM service to different brands, worked with a lot indoor growers, universities, specialist growers, commercial growers and research labs. Today, we have got enough experience on LED grow light, so we decided to make our own products, own brand-Marshydro to provide service to different growers directly. We have saw a lot low quality LED grow lights are using unknown LEDs or Epistar LEDs and got very high failure in short time, LEDs burnt out or lenses got melt very fast. It is really embarrassing to ask warranty during grow. We decided to make a safe, high quality, low heat, low power consumption, high penetration, high yield , high power, truly full-spectrum LED grow light, so our first series LED grow light –Mars hydro led grow light series is comprised of the two top brand LEDs,CREE and OSRAM.We are different from other brands also, they prefer using double or triple lenses to increase lumens, PAR, PPF or PPFD at one point to tell a lie, while we avoid using lens to increase the output of our LED grow light and truly increase the lumens , PAR ,PPF and PPFD in the coverage area.

We want to make things simple and lower the failure of Mars hydro led grow light series, we did not build unnecessary complex remote control program in , we only put two modes–veg&bloom on the light for flexible use. We are on the boat of growers, so we are thinking what growers are thinking. Led grow light is a product built with our confidence, experience and growers expectation. With Mars hydro series, We considered five factors: fabric quality, reflective rate, pole quality, lighting leaking and flexible use, especially the light leaking, we gathered a lot information from growers and competitors and we know how important to avoid light leaking. We do not want your plants can not sleep well and the grow tent drop down to damage your plants.

For your health, we will never and ever use any bad smell and toxic fabric to make our grow tents. Mars Hydro is a new brand but we are not newer in indoor growing , we are professional on business, service ,products, growing, etc.

Studies Link Legal Marijuana With Fewer Opioid Prescriptions « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

Pot can relieve chronic pain in adults, so advocates for liberalizing marijuana laws have proposed it as a lower-risk alternative to opioids. Some research suggests marijuana may encourage opioid use, and so might make the epidemic worse. The new studies don’t directly assess the effect of legalizing marijuana on opioid addiction and overdose deaths. Over-prescribing is considered a key factor in the opioid epidemic. One looked at trends in opioid prescribing under Medicaid, which covers low-income adults, between 2011 and 2016.

Results showed that laws that let people use marijuana to treat specific medical conditions were associated with about a 6 percent lower rate of opioid prescribing for pain. That suggest the medical marijuana laws didn’t reach some people who could benefit from using marijuana instead of opioids, said Hefei Wen of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, one of the study authors. Every year from 2010 through 2015, researchers compared states with a medical marijuana law in effect to those without one. Researchers found that Medicare patients in states with marijuana dispensaries filled prescriptions for about 14 percent fewer daily doses of opioids than those in other states. W.

Funny marijuana comedy variety show Ep34Part2

marijuana, hemp, and cannabis news

Compared with older Americans 30 years ago, Americans age 50 to 59 and 60 and older today are a remarkable 20 times more likely to use marijuana. Former Speaker of the House John Boehner recently joined the board of a cannabis company, and last week on semi-official marijuana holiday April 20, certified cool dude Chuck Schumer, the leader of Democrats in the Senate, announced that he will soon be introducing legislation to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. Late last week, in a spare moment between attacking former FBI Director James Comey and bombing Syria, President Trump reportedly told Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado that he supports his states recreational marijuana law. The primary drivers of this trend include the fact that women and older consumers are saying they intend to use more marijuana when it is legal; a focus on health that cannabis fits into; and marijuana becoming legalized in states that already have high levels of wine consumption.

On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is signing on as a co-sponsor of the Marijuana Justice Act, introduced last year by Sen. Cory Booker. Boehners endorsement, after saying nine years ago he was unalterably opposed to legalization, could be considered a watershed event: Marijuana has gone mainstream.

For marketing agencies, marijuana dispensaries and cannabis brands, advertising the pot brings its own hurdles. The states licensing program encourages legal marijuana growers to set up shop where the new jobs are needed most, in perennially poor communities. While marijuana remains a banned substance under federal law, nine states including Washington, Nevada, Oregon and Colorado have legalized consumption and production within their borders. Less than 1% of the states 68,150 marijuana cultivators had obtained licenses as of last month, according to a recent report by the California Growers Association. The policy, which has been federal law since 2014, bars the U.S.

Department of Justice from spending money to interfere with the implementation of state medical marijuana laws. Craker, Doblin likes to say, is the perfect flag bearer for the cause of medical marijuana productionnot remotely controversial and thus the ideal partner in a long and frustrating effort to loosen the Drug Enforcement Administrations chokehold on cannabis research.

Legal marijuana may lead to influx of poison control calls

BOSTON – Poison control officials in Massachusetts are gearing up for an expected spike in calls about accidental exposure to marijuana once legal sales of the substance begin on July 1. That expectation is based on the experiences of states that legalized marijuana previously and have years of data on calls to poison control centers. Bhutta said poison control centers in Colorado saw a 108 percent increase in calls related to marijuana exposure for people of all ages between 2012 and 2015. There was a 206 percent increase during the same time period in calls related to marijuana exposure among people eight years old or younger, he said. In Washington, Bhutta said, call volumes increased an average of 58 percent at poison control centers between 2012 and 2015.

A 2016 study published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics and conducted by a doctor at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus found that the average rate of marijuana-related visits to the children’s hospital increased from 1.2 incidents per 100,000 children two years prior to marijuana legalization to 2.3 incidents per 100,000 children two years after legalization. Pediatric marijuana cases at regional poison control centers in Colorado increased more than five-fold from nine in 2009 to 47 in 2015, the study found. During that time, Colorado saw an average 34 percent increase in regional poison control cases per year compared to a 19 percent increase in the rest of the United States. Bhutta said marijuana exposure calls to Colorado poison control centers appear to be on the decline since 2015. Colorado, which began legal marijuana sales in 2014, has updated its regulations around packaging and marketing after the first couple of years of legal marijuana revealed issues.

Since 2015 the Centennial State has required marijuana products to be sold in childproof packaging and in 2016 banned edible marijuana products in the shape of humans, animals or fruits, which had made them attractive to children. CCC Chairman Steven Hoffman said Tuesday the commission was mindful of the issues other states have had with exposure of marijuana products to children as it crafted the rules for Massachusetts.

The Conservative Case For Legalizing Marijuana

Marijuana legalization is an issue that unites people across the political aisle. Regardless of whether one accepts the individual-liberty case for legalizing marijuana, the consequentialist case is convincing. Marijuana is a drug, as abusable as any intoxicant is, and its long-term use is in some people associated with undesirable effects. A great many people will avoid being convicted of crimes for a relatively benign recreational indulgence – and those criminal convictions often have much more severe long-term consequences on pot-smokers’ lives than marijuana does. Perhaps most important, the legalization of marijuana in Colorado – and the push for its legalization elsewhere – is a sign that Americans still recognize some limitations on the reach of the state and its stable of nannies-in-arms.

To a large degree, this is due to the influence of William F. Buckley Jr. himself, who seemed to have held a largely libertarian view on the issue of marijuana use and was rumored to have sailed out beyond the territorial limits of the United States on at least one occasion to give smoking marijuana a try. Although there is a perfectly respectable case against using marijuana, the penalties imposed on those who reject that case, or who give way to weakness of resolution, are very difficult to defend. Most transgressors caught using marijuana aren’t packed away to jail, but some are, and in Alabama, if you are convicted three times of marijuana possession, they’ll lock you up for 15 years to life.

Professor Ethan Nadelmann, of the Drug Policy Alliance, writing in National Review, estimates at 100,000 the number of Americans currently behind bars for one or another marijuana offense. Critics of reform do make a pretty plausible case when they say that whatever is said about using marijuana only for medical relief masks what the advocates are really after, which is legal marijuana for whoever wants it. An estimated 100 million Americans have smoked marijuana at least once, the great majority, abandoning its use after a few highs. A Boston commentator observed years ago that it is easier for an 18-year old to get marijuana in Cambridge than to get beer.

Educating the harmful effects of marijuana – The Stefan Roots Blog

This media campaign focuses on educating adolescents and parents in Delaware County about the harmful effects of marijuana use, including synthetic marijuana, medical marijuana, and new legislation in the United States. Despite the confusing messages, marijuana is a harmful drug that is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has a high potential for abuse, and no currently accepted medical use for treatment in the United States. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. Despite increasing efforts to legalize it, marijuana is harmful, and causes many adverse physical and mental health effects on its users. In 2014, there were 42 percent current users-about 8.4 percent of people aged 12 or older-up from 7.3 percent in 2012. Marijuana affects learning and memory, causes distorted perceptions, diminishes motor coordination, and increases heart rate. Chronic drug use has been linked to mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and depression, especially in those who are vulnerable or who start at an early age. In addition to addressing common myths and facts surrounding marijuana use, Holcomb provides free literature and speaking engagements to schools, youth and parent groups, and communities. In Delaware County, the campaign is coordinated by Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems through funding from the Delaware County Office of Behavioral Health, Division of Drug and Alcohol. Holcomb Prevention and Education Dept., funded by the Delaware County Office of Behavioral Health, Division of Drug and Alcohol, provides education, trainings, consultations, public awareness campaigns, prevention initiatives, student assessments and referrals as a part of a planned strategy to prevent or reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.

The Socialist’s Journal: Jeff Sessions vs. Marijuana

Jeff Sessions announced that he would enforce the existing marijuana laws. While I believe the federal marijuana statutes to be misguided, it is hardly fair to criticize the Attorney General for doing his job. So while many states have taken steps to legalize some form of marijuana usage within their borders, those attempts have been a bit foolhardy because the federal laws ultimately outweigh the state laws. Combining these two reactions paints, what I would label, a negative picture of the future for those in the supply or consumption side of the marijuana industry. My tertiary reaction is that this is the beginning of the end of marijuana criminalization form multiple reasons. The old narrative that marijuana will undermine a person’s drive and productivity has been thoroughly contradicted. Because of this marijuana, I believe, will begin/continue to be treated like many other mind altering substances. Second, the people in the states where marijuana is being used with some degree of legality will demand that their legislators decriminalize it so that they can continue doing what they’re doing. Likewise legalizing marijuana does not undercut laws for other drugs. Therefore marijuana users will be seen as just another subgroup in the mosaic that is American society.

Schaumburg parents sue to keep medical marijuana at school for daughter

The Schaumburg parents of an 11-year-old girl diagnosed with leukemia are suing their local school district because it won’t keep medical marijuana prescribed by her doctors to treat seizures on school grounds. The couple filed the federal lawsuit anonymously Wednesday against Schaumburg School District 54 and the state of Illinois, which they targeted for failing to include public schools among the places where medical marijuana may be present. A spokeswoman from the Attorney General’s office declined to comment and lawyers representing the school district could not be reached. Both sides are expected in court Friday as the family seeks a temporary order allowing medical marijuana at the school. The student is enrolled at Hanover Highlands Elementary School, according to the lawsuit. It says her leukemia was treated with chemotherapy, which led to seizure disorders and epilepsy. She wears a patch on her foot, which contains small amounts of THC. She also sometimes puts oil drops containing THC on her tongue or wrists to regulate her seizures. The couple said the school district has declined to accommodate them, citing the law prohibiting the drug’s presence on school grounds. Nick Myers wrote in an email attached to the couple’s lawsuit.

10 Facts About Marijuana

Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug, with forty-two percent of American adults reporting that they have used it. Fact #1: Most marijuana users never use any other illicit drug. People who have used less popular drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and LSD, are likely to have also used marijuana. Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug and the vast majority of those who do try another drug never become addicted or go on to have associated problems. For the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a so-called gateway drug. According to a federal Institute of Medicine study in 1999, fewer than 10 percent of those who try marijuana ever meet the clinical criteria for dependence, while 32 percent of tobacco users and 15 percent of alcohol users do. Just 45 percent of marijuana admissions met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria for marijuana dependence. Fact #10: Roughly three quarters of a million people are arrested for marijuana each year, the vast majority of them for simple possession. Marijuana arrests comprise nearly one-half of all drug arrests reported in the United States. Approximately 42 percent of all drug arrests nationwide are for marijuana possession.

At This Comedy Club, Getting High is in the Job Description – Medical Marijuana News

Cannabis encourages relaxation and creativity, not to mention that people who are high love to laugh. Seattle’s Gateway Show pairs up cannabis and comedy to create an unstoppable duo. Tonight, the show is being being held at Jai Thai, a Thai restaurant that hosts comedy four nights a week in Seattle’s Capitol Hill. The comedian has been featured on Comedy Central and had just flown up from L.A. to perform on the show. The Seattle faction of The Gateway Show receives sponsorship from Fweedom Cannabis and Tiller Natural, and their money goes a long way. Although many cannabis businesses undoubtedly wish to give back to the community, federal regulations make it very difficult for them to donate to charitable causes. Sponsoring local events like the comedy show allows businesses to support the artists and venues while also giving consumers a reason to buy their products. Even in legal states, cannabis consumers may feel threatened by widespread stigma and fear of arrest. Events like The Gateway Show are providing cannabis users with a place to seek entertainment and be honest about their interests without feeling subjected to judgment. If you’re lucky enough to live in one of these areas, make sure to support the cannabis movement by getting out of the house and encouraging local businesses and art.

Herbal and Marijuana Vaporizers For Smoking Marijuana

There are a lot of ways Marijuana and Cannabis are smoked. One of these methods is smoking marijuana with the use of vaporizer. Cannabis vaporizer works in transforming your weed from solid to gas and makes it good for smoking. Vaporizers are very common and the best for medical marijuana users as they remove the smell and taste of smoke when you inhale. The weed vapor which is produced by the vaporizer is much stronger than what you can get from using bong, pipe, rolling papers, or any other marijuana smoking methods. While there is not much great deal, if any, the smoke created by any other smoking supplies has nothing to do with the smoking technique that you use. There are many health benefits that you can get if you use vaporizer in smoking marijuana and cannabis instead of using the other methods. There are many name brands of herbal vaporizers that you can use for cooking pot instead of inhaling the smoke. Online headshops have many items for sale including marijuana seeds, bongs, pipes, hookahs and other instrument devices used for smoking weed. Yes, it is legal and not illegal to purchase vaporisers and other types of glass pipes used for smoking weed, smoking pot, smoking cannabis or any other tobacco product as long as when you buy it that it is for smoking tobacco for recreational use only.

Looking Through The Lens

This 37-year-old creates amazing mosaics using the humble medium of used roach papers from smoked joints. Amazingly, this is just something Cliff does in his spare time. It’s his roach paper Chronic Art that has captured the imagination of folks nationwide. As a student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Cliff had the opportunity to take inspiration from the great mosaics of the past. His roach paper portraits include iconic rock star stoners like Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, and John Lennon, and hemped hop rap stars like Snoop Dogg and Method Man. All these followed his very first roach paper portrait, which was of Jesus. Cliff’s currently offering hand-signed and numbered, limited edition, museum quality prints of all his mosaics. The fantastic level of detail present in Cliff’s work is truly mind-boggling. When you start to grok how much time must have been spent fitting together all those sticky little bits of paper, cutting and arranging them in a way as to form a work of art, you have to admire this guy’s dedication. Maynard’s unique and phenomenal talent has turned the heads of numerous cannabis luminaries such as Cheech & Chong, Marc Emery, Todd McCormick, Rev. Eddy Lepp, and Vivian McPeak, all of whom totally freaked on the level of passion, skill and detail in Cliff’s work.

U.S. Marijuana Party

The United States Marijuana Party – is a motivated group of Americans who are tired of living in fear of their government because of marijuana prohibition. More Americans are in jail today for marijuana offenses than at any previous time in American history. The war against marijuana is a genocidal war waged against us by a government determined to eradicate our plant, our culture, our freedom and our political rights. We demand the release of all people imprisoned on marijuana charges and that their criminal records be expunged. We demand the right to grow marijuana for personal consumption, just as alcohol can be brewed at home legally and so long that it is not sold it should therefore remain untaxed. WE organize Marijuana Parties in states across the U.S. WE are striving hard to have all 50 states represented by Nov. 2020! WE plan to run candidates on the Marijuana Party ticket in local, state, and national elections, and to debate this issue whenever and wherever the opportunity arises! If you do not have a chapter of the US Marijuana Party in your area START ONE NOW! The U.S Marijuana Party operates solely from donations made by concerned citizens. You can start a Chapter or support the U.S. Marijuana Party in your State.

EDITORIAL: Delay opening day for recreational marijuana

Hold on, recreational marijuana lovers, the state might not be going to pot just yet. While the Cannabis Control Commission begins public hearings concerning its proposed guidelines to regulate this new industry, two influential groups have asked that panel to delay the availability of everyday marijuana or strictly curtail how it can be sold. The commission, which remains committed to allowing legal marijuana sales on July 1, must vote on changes to its draft proposal before filing its final regulations by March 9, ahead of the March 15 statutory deadline. The alliance believes the draft regulations will make marijuana more accessible to underage consumers, contribute to pot’s black market and exacerbate health disparities in economically distressed communities. According to the State House News Service, in a message to its supporters, the alliance urged the state to postpone the opening of retail marijuana outlets pending a thorough review of the commission’s policies. Medical marijuana dispensary owners, many of whom will likely enter the legalized-pot industry, also present valid arguments. They point out that states that allow recreational marijuana limit its sale to brick-and-mortar stores. Legalized pot supporters will say medical marijuana owners want to limit the competition, which is true. Better to delay the opening of pot shops now to avoid future legal roadblocks. Given all these 11th-hour uncertainties, the prudent course should be to postpone recreational pot’s July 1 opening day.

Harvard Health Publishing

There are few subjects that can stir up stronger emotions among doctors, scientists, researchers, policy makers, and the public than medical marijuana. Marijuana is currently legal, on the state level, in 29 states, and in Washington, DC. It is still illegal from the federal government’s perspective. The Obama administration did not make prosecuting medical marijuana even a minor priority. About 85% of Americans support legalizing medical marijuana, and it is estimated that at least several million Americans currently use it. Marijuana itself has more than 100 active components. One particular form of childhood epilepsy called Dravet syndrome is almost impossible to control, but responds dramatically to a CBD-dominant strain of marijuana called Charlotte’s Web. The most common use for medical marijuana in the United States is for pain control. While marijuana isn’t strong enough for severe pain, it is quite effective for the chronic pain that plagues millions of Americans, especially as they age. Part of its allure is that it is clearly safer than opiates and it can take the place of NSAIDs such as Advil or Aleve, if people can’t take them due to problems with their kidneys or ulcers or GERD. In particular, marijuana appears to ease the pain of multiple sclerosis, and nerve pain in general. Medical marijuana is also reported to help patients suffering from pain and wasting syndrome associated with HIV, as well as irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease.

Comparing marijuana to fentanyl is social conservatism without a clue: Robyn Urback

The majestically dumb comments Conservative MP Peter Kent made about marijuana earlier this week suggest that the Tories’ re-branding efforts are not going particularly smoothly. Inconclusive, but worth read if you share concerns about young children, home-grown marijuana, home-made eatables. The last Conservative MP to make such outlandish rhetorical flourishes about marijuana – Julian Fantino, who compared weed to murder – went on to head a medical marijuana company. The best-case scenario here is that Kent is clumsily trying to appeal to the roughly one-third of Canadians who have reservations about legalized marijuana. The Conservatives have long taken very weird, hyperbolic positions when it comes to marijuana. In 2015, when the Supreme Court ruled that medical marijuana users could consume pot in ways other than smoking it – thus allowing for oils, teas, consumables, etc. Previous federal regulations only allowed for medical marijuana to be sold dried, meaning that lung cancer sufferers and children with epilepsy, for example, basically had to smoke weed if they wanted medical marijuana relief. In 2015, the Supreme Court struck down the regulation that medical marijuana be sold dried. Which, on the one hand, is fine: if the Conservatives want to double down on social conservatism – at least as it relates to marijuana – all the power to them. The problem is that, with his comments, Kent has presented them as socially conservative without a clue.

As Mainers celebrate legal marijuana, where does new law draw the line?

Marijuana users and some businesses that cater to them cheered the arrival of legal marijuana in Maine on Monday, even as one Portland celebration event had to revamp its plans because of confusion about what is and is not allowed. Portland police informed organizers Monday afternoon that trading and consuming marijuana at the event would be a violation of the law because it is technically a public space. Organizers went ahead with the celebration Monday night after receiving assurances from police that there would be no trouble if marijuana consumption and smoking was banned on the property. The event invitation described the party as a gathering of cannabis industry leaders and advocates who would provide updates on Maine’s medical marijuana program and how to protect it, as well as home cultivating tips from local growers. Event organizers were not providing any edible marijuana products, but Shepard originally said some people attending the party might bring some to share. Sen. Scott Cyrway, R-Benton, said he has introduced a bill that would repeal the state’s new marijuana law. His ultimate goal would be to have the Legislature approve the bill, and have the marijuana law repeal placed on the November 2017 ballot as a referendum question. Maine is now one of eight states, plus Washington, D.C., to allow adults over the age of 21 to use, cultivate, possess and give away marijuana. Garcia said Grow Life was busy Monday with people looking for information about equipment needed to cultivate marijuana at home for personal use, and that the store will be launching a promotional campaign in February geared toward budding marijuana growers. As of Monday, adults over the age of 21 can possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and use it on private property.

Blunt talk from Democrats about legalizing marijuana

Democratic gubernatorial hopeful J.B. Pritzker wants to legalize marijuana as part of his crime-fighting plan, which he unveiled Thursday at the DuSable Museum of African American History. State Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston, is also on board with legalization, while businessman Chris Kennedy has been a bit more careful with his words, saying he supports decriminalizing marijuana but wants to see more studies done to understand the effects of legalizing the drug. Legalization essentially means adults won’t be arrested, fined or otherwise penalized for recreational marijuana use or possession. Rauner’s campaign on Thursday wouldn’t comment on his thoughts on legalizing marijuana. Rauner last year signed a bill that decriminalized the possession of 10 grams or less of marijuana, making it a ticketable offense subject to fines of $100 to $200. State Sen. Heather Steans, D-Chicago, in January introduced legislation that would legalize and tax recreational marijuana – using the money as a new revenue source for the state. It would legalize the possession of up to 28 grams of marijuana and would allow facilities to sell marijuana products. Biss, too, wants to legalize and regulate marijuana, which he says will increase tax revenue, reduce law enforcement costs and bring jobs to the state. Kennedy believes legalizing marijuana should be separated from the issue of using taxes as a revenue stream to fund state government, according to his website. He wants more studies on the impact of legalizing marijuana. In a 2017 study commissioned by Rauner and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, about 80 percent of police chiefs and county sheriffs responding to the report said marijuana was highly available within their areas.

Tips to Help Seniors rest well

In the later years of my mother’s life, she complained that she could never sleep. However, once while sharing a bedroom with her, I learnt that her lack of sleep was simply not so. She snored almost the whole night. I learned a lesson; lack of sleep can be very real psychologically, but can also be a product of one’s imagination.

Clients are too busy to keep their appointments. How to handle such situation?

This is the situation which occurs many a times... and its a good point that may help you. I recently responded to the same in a training session, where these Financial Planners were complaining that people don't even give time to discuss their financial plans although they may be paying for the ‘financial planning’ service.

My answer to them was SPIN (www.huthwaite.org). What we need to understand is that people don't buy solutions, or listen to you, or go through your documents, just because they have a problem that any of the above can solve.

Let me explain this in simpler terms...
1. Do we go to the physician when we have symptoms of the flu... No!
2. Do we go to the physician when the implication of the flu is such that it hampers things that are non-negotiable with us, such as not being able to meet the client leading to a loss of revenue... Well, YES!!!

The crux of the matter is that we don't take up solutions when there are problems, even if there is a 'contract'. On the other hand, once the implications of the problems are so large that they start impacting cost, convenience, time, quality etc., we open up to looking at solutions.

So, what you may want to do is to talk to your client in terms of implications of a delayed conversation... will the delay lead to a postponed project close, and will that lead to a delayed implementation, and will that lead to an increase in cost... so, what we are talking about is a balance with cost on one side and the value that one sees in talking to you 'now' on the other.

We need to build 'that' value in your conversation, which I am sure you are doing... and as I always tell myself, every conversation is a 'sales' conversation; if not in real terms, imagine them to be. By doing this one increases the chances of success.

Warm Regards,

Collaboration in Learning

I have been using collaboration in learning programs for sometime. In my current role, we have started looking at them being used very seriously.

In particular, there is a program called 'Sell Out Of Trouble' (SOOT), wherein we use the experience & learning of all participants to collaborate and resolve problems emanating out of a live case study ('personal financial planning' interaction).

The process is tedious for the facilitator, but the application of learning in the simulated environment is quick-effective-efficient, disparity in learning comes out and can be fine-tuned, seeing the learning being applied in action builds conviction; all of this leads to a higher probability of the learning being applied in the workplace. It is also important that the case study being used to collaborate is live in nature & spirit. For example in SOOT, facilitators use their own life as a case study, and become the subject who's financial planning needs to be done. The collaborative effort in unearthing the exact problems, their implications and finally the solution to payoff their need, builds conviction in the learners that the discussed methodology of sales 'works', and its OK to give it a try in the field.

Collaboration has been used in learning environments for a vey long time.

If you have any more examples of having used collaboration in the learning & development space, please do leave a note...

India’s first transgender college principal resigns

KRISHNAGAR/Pahichan – India’s first transgender college principal Manabi Bandopadhyay has submitted her resignation after about one-and-a-half years in office, expressing frustration at “non-cooperation” of a section of teachers and students of her institution.
Nadia District Magistrate Sumit Gupta on Thursday said he had received her letter of resignation from the post of Principal of Krishnagar Women’s College in the district on December 27 and forwarded it to the state Higher Education department on Wednesday.
Manabi alleged that she started facing non-cooperation from a section of teachers soon after she took over as the principal of the well-known women’s college on June 9, 2015.
On the other hand, the teachers also levelled the same allegation against the principal, resulting in a standoff. A four-member team, led by Joint Director of Public Instruction (DPI) RP Bhattacharjee, visited the college recently on a fact-finding mission and talked to the principal and teachers.
Manabi said, “All of my colleagues went against me. Some of the students went against me. I tried to bring back discipline and an atmosphere of education in the college. Most probably, that is why they went against me. I always got co-operation from the local administration, but never got it from my colleagues and students.”

She went on to say that she had been under tremendous mental pressure and could not take it anymore, forcing her to resign.

International Yoga Day 2017

28 June 2017

He said that the regular practice of yoga helps in promoting fitness of mind and body leading to a handsome life. In addition to fitness, wellness is important, the Prime Minister said, adding that Yoga is a medium to achieve wellness.

Modi said the increasing popularity of yoga spurred Unesco to add yoga to its list of intangible cultural heritage, along with Cuba's rumba and Peru's scissor dance, in December a year ago. "Today, there is no question mark over yoga in any part of the world. There are many countries which do not know our language, traditions or culture but the entire world is getting connected with us because of yoga", said 66-year-old Modi, who was attired in a white T-shirt and loose pants.

London high-rises fail safety tests after Grenfell fire
A general view of the housing towers of the Chalcots Estate in the borough of Camden, north London , Saturday June 24, 2017. Hundreds of people in north London's Chalcot's Estate have been kicked out so urgent fire safety work can be done.

Yoga has also played a big role in bridging India with the world, he claimed.

Recalling as to how the United Nations gave its nod for the International Day of Yoga three years back, he said there might not be any country where yoga-related programmes are not held or attraction or awareness towards it has not grown. At GMDC ground, 54,522 participants of different age and size stretched and twisted together, snatching Delhi's record for the maximum number of people simultaneously performing yoga at one place. 50 or 60 minutes (is fine) because it lends harmony to the body, mind and intellect.

Khloe Kardashian Sparks Pregnancy Rumours with "Dad"
Khloe Kardashian and her National Basketball Association boyfriend Tristan Thompson are getting serious. I love his mother, by the way! She continued: "I think I should say to my boyfriend 'I'm pregnant".

Baba Ramdev and Amit Shah also shared pictures of the yoga session on their twitter handles. "If 1.25 billion Indians and people around the world can attain this state of well-being, then humankind can also tide over problems born out of human thoughts", he said.

Once his address was complete, the Prime Minister surprised everybody by descending on the ground to join the students waiting to perform yoga. NIT-P invited yoga experts from Haridwar, whereas Central University of South Bihar organized a yoga session in the morning followed by a workshop for the students and a debate contest.

Lyft Takes a Pointer from Uber, Adds Pickup Suggestions
You can select the rider from your address book, set their location, and request a ride on their behalf. Unlike its ridesharing app, the company has promised that drivers will get paid within 7 days.

More than 500 yoga enthusiasts participated in the event. "The support to Yoga is deeply appreciated", the prime minister tweeted on Wednesday night.

Crouching Tiger

T-Shirt: H&M
Skirt: DIY
Button down: DIY
Bag: Gift from grandma
Ankle boots: Zara

I wore this outfit when I went thrift shopping with one of my girl friends the other day. I knew that I'd have to walk up and down the streets of Manhattan, so I wore a bunch of comfortable clothing items including a loose Tiger T-Shirt from H&M, a velvet skirt in which I made from my mom's old pants, and my favorite ankle boots from Zara (as I have mentioned in my previous blog post). This shoot was so memorable for me because four extremely energetic people came down the street and started chanting "Do it for the gram! Do it for the likes! Do it for the blog!" I had a spontaneous conversation with the birthday girl in the middle and these people just reminded me of how amazing New Yorkers can be.
I hope you will all find little sparks of motivation to get you through life- just as I found inspiration through the four people above.

A Squidlet?

I'm going to be an uncle in a few months. My sister's first kid is due on March 1st and true to form, she didn't want to have a traditional "Shower," so we got together for a non-shower baby party for her and her husband (who is also a college professor, BTW). I drew up a card to congratulate them:

That's the cutest cephalopod I've ever drawn if I do say so myself...

Photo wallpaper – why is this solution more and more often chosen among different clients that would like to fill their house with feel of taste?

Posted on 05/02/2018 4:24pm
Photo wallpaper is a solution that, according to the beliefs of various people, is something that is no longer used, as it is known to be old-fashioned. However, if we would analyze the situation in this topic appropriately, we might rapidly find out that in the reality increasing amount of people are interested in using this alternative in their homes.

Review of the Year 05

Over the years I saw many beautiful images of an Iris. I tried to photograph this flower in a little different way. I choose a 15mm super wide angle lens on a full frame camera. This is not they type of lens to photograph flowers. I did it anyway and I love this shot.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

mind travel - 'masters'

Learning is a journey of discovery that never ends. Whilst developing my photography skills and approach, I have come across many books, papers, essays, websites, forums, blogs, interviews and videos. Hungry for improvement as I am, I read and study a lot. Reading and absorbing a lot of information doesn’t necessarily make me a better photographer. I feel that I need to seriously reflect on what I read, and review whether it inspires me, or improves my skills, which will enhance my photography.

I’ve gone through many books, and after some time, finding myself starting to paging through the content, instead of actually reading everything. The information starts to bore, or turns out to be inapplicable to me. Some well-known photographers claim to have the ‘answer to the ultimate question of photography, the universe and everything’ (and I can tell you the answer is not 42!), and are not holding back in explaining what everyone ‘should be doing’. Some are more humble, stating that it works for them (although strongly recommending you do the same). It might work for them, although I don’t find there is one clear truth. (more)

Studying and developing my view on photography takes more energy than just listening to someone, watching a video or reading. It is about how I apply the ideas, or suggested approaches. One of my conclusions so far is that many photographers out there are not my cup of tea at all.

One particular photographer, who’s written many books, has explained in a YouTube video how he creates some of his travel photographs. It turned out to be a complete illusion! Using Photoshop to create a false reflection of a beautiful city skyline in the water in the foreground doesn’t make sense to me. Erasing a particular building out of this skyline (because the photographer doesn’t like it) is trickery in my opinion! Creating a world that actually doesn’t exist.

My photography involves seeing (what others might not see) and creating a photograph by using what is actually there. If the composition is not ideal, I need to move around until it is right. If the lighting is not right, I need to wait, or change the perspective to make it work. I don’t introduce multiple layers in Photoshop and ‘create’ (read: fake) an image that actually never existed.

What I found out is that not all photographers are necessarily the right people to learn from. I need to consider any master carefully. And even then, some tips they give, may fit well in my approach, some may not.

One photographer may be a great master of techniques, how to nail the photograph technically, before you even recognised the shot. Knowing the lighting conditions, having made design decisions on aperture and shutter speed, being prepared for the shot. Another photographer may be brilliant in composition or nailing timing. Whether the photograph taken turns out to be slightly out of focus then, is of less importance. The timing was right, and something interesting is recorded!

Having studied my Leica M9 thoroughly, and practiced the techniques required to get the shots I want, I find that it’s time to move on. Stop worrying about the camera and the technicalities; I know how to use it.

It’s also a reason to stay away from gadgets and not get distracted by stuff that shops try to sell you. I’m happy I use my M9 body and 50mm/F2.0 lens for most of the time and a 28mm/F2.8 for perhaps 5% of the time only. It’s human nature to be interested in gadgets, and to be fair, some gadgets make life easier (e.g. Thumbs Up), but don't necessarily result in better photographs! In the end, it’s how you use your tools.

Next up: what can you study to improve your photography?

$100,000 Google Adsense Income in One Year - How Does Lindsay Buroker Do It?

I'm freshly inspired to increase my online income due to Lindsay Buroker over at WritingForYourWealth.com -- who just wrote the post "What it Takes to Make $100,000 a Year From Adsense," detailing somewhat how she's upped her Google income.

Some ideas are sticking with me: Like focusing on consumer products -- and what people are actually already searching for, not necessarily trying to create a need.

And not jumping into an over-crowded market.

But what websites does Linsday run that are her money-makers?

I looked all over her site to try and find the two websites that are her main moneymakers to see her design.

Basically, I want to know how long those websites have been up -- how she SEO's them, and how much content is there.

You guys already know that WatchFreeEpisodes.com is my main money-maker...

...and stay tuned for an updated income post by the end of 2008.

So it will be great when Lindsay lets us all know what her main money-making websites are so we can emulate the philosophy.

Thank God for us bloggers helping each other out - and stirring up the gifts within each of us!

Hi Paula,

Thanks for the mention and for commenting on my site!

I've been waffling a bit on whether or not to link to a couple of my sites on my blog. I have a bit of reluctance to say here are all my sites and my niches, since it might mean increasing the competition for myself! One of my sites in particular brings in a pretty amazing income considering how little work goes into it.

I will say all my main sites are in the home improvement niche, and the blog which accounts for just under half of my income is http://www.luxuryhousingtrends.com. It's not a good example for SEO (what was I thinking with that domain name?), but it's an example of a blog niche that is broad enough that I've been able to stick to it for 3+ years and 2,000-odd posts.

It's in the queue for a design upgrade, which is desperately needed, and then I'll put a link to it on my writing blog.

Thanks again for the mention, and good luck!
