Dale B asked:


I’m doing a speech for school about medical marijuana. I know it’s legal in several states. What I don’t know is how well these programs are working out. I’m hoping to find the most successful examples of medical marijuana use. My goal is to find the best way to implement such a program in my state, Arkansas, where it is illegal to use marijuana for any reason. I’d like to hear about problems that have come up and what was done to correct them. I am a member of a group of 5 people doing the speech, which is pro legalization of medical marijuana. My portion is ‘visualization’, where I must speak for about 5 minutes about what it would be like if medical marijuana use were legalized in Arkansas.

How to Quit Smoking Marijuana - Help to Quit Marijuana Forever!

Michael Porteous asked:


While the debate over legalizing marijuana still rages and the pros and cons of this drug are debated endlessly those who have developed an unhealthy addiction to this drug know all too well the negative effects it can bring to ones life. From the massive amount of time that disappears from your life, the amount of money you keep shelling out to feed the addiction to the frightening lack of clarity and memory that comes from long term use, pot smokers looking to kick the habit keep looking for the answer on how to quit smoking marijuana.

Thankfully there are a few key facts about marijuana addiction that can help you quit marijuana forever. The first thing you must know is that marijuana is not a chemically addictive drug like cigarettes or cocaine which contain certain chemicals that give the user withdrawal symptoms that have physical side effects that only the drug itself seem to be able to cure. Marijuana has none of these properties which means that addiction to pot is a physiological addiction.

Psychological addiction is similar to gambling addiction or alcohol addiction in that the user seeks the high of this activity because they desperately want it for reasons to do with their state of mind not what their body craves. While a problem gambler may keep gambling for the elation of winning and the chance to gain back his losses a marijuana addict must have a core set of issues that bring tem back to the drug time and time again. For some it is simple as being a relaxant they rely on to help them calm down, others are drawn back because all of their friends also smoke and they do it to be social, others still may have mental problems that cut deep and the high of marijuana smoking is the only thing they feel can help them escape their constant torment.

In any case however the solution is similar, find these core issues you have before you try to give up on marijuana! If you do not have a firm grasp on the issues that keep you coming back to the drug you will never be able to quit smoking pot and keep sliding back into using it again and again.

So before you even start trying to quit smoking marijuana take this advice and look at the root causes of your addiction which may not be the same as why you started smoking either. I hope this can help you to quit marijuana and live the life you want to lead!

Currency Trading – the 80 -20 Rule Learn it and See your Profits Soar

Sacha Tarkovsky asked:


In Currency trading if you learn the above as a novice you can increase your chances of financial success and if you are trading already it can make your existing forex strategy more popular.

Lets look at how to apply the 80 – 20 rule in currency trading and make triple digit annual gains.

Definition

The 80/20 rule was developed by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto to describe the unequal wealth in his country.

He noted that 20 percent of the people owned 80 percent of the wealth.

The 80 / 20 rule has been applied in other areas and is very applicable to profitability.

Lets look at its significance in general business terms and then apply it to financial currency trading.

Often 80% of a company’s sales will come from only 20% of their key clients.

The point of the Pareto principle is to suggest that you focus your energy on the 20 percent that really matters and if you think about it makes total sense – you focus on where the profit potential is best

The 80 / 20 Rule applied to Currency trading

One of the reasons most novice traders lose is they trade to much – they think that if their not trading their missing an opportunity, this is typical of forex day traders, who think they can win trading frequently, they can’t and never do.

Other traders trade on emotion and news and again get hammered.

There is absolutely no correlation between how often you trade and your forex profits, in fact the LESS you trade can lead you to currency trading success.

How To easily make triple digit gains

Look at any currency chart and how often do you see a really big move - that’s one that is a strong sustained trend, with very few or small retracements?

About half a dozen times a year across the majors.

If you took the 80 / 20 rule and applied it to currency trading you would come to the conclusion that these are the trades that make the most money and are the ONLY ones you need to hit to make spectacular gains.

So you trade less but you make a lot more.

Sounds simple?

It is - yet very few currency traders are able to apply the rule and never adapt their forex strategy to take advantage of it.

If you do, you can make more profits with less risk and spend less time executing your trading signals.

Focus on hitting the really big trends and a clue to finding them is, they normally take place from new market highs.

Look for valid resistance that is strong and been tested numerous times, is considered significant and then trade the breakouts that occur.

Risk as much as you can only on these trades.

Do it and adapt your forex trading system to do this, you will achieve currency trading success and triple digit regular annual forex gains will be a realistic objective.

Where To Find Bulk Organic Vegetable Seed

October 17th, 2007

Anna Hart asked:


Growing organic vegetables from seed is a great way to combine healthy diet and healthy exercise. Most people want to start small, but maybe you already did that. Maybe you loved your small organic garden so much you decided to expand it into a small farm. Perhaps you and your friends have set aside land for a community garden, and need bulk organic vegetable seed to share. Maybe you’ve decided to begin marketing bulk organic vegetable seeds.

You have several potential sources for bulk organic vegetable seeds. We cannot recommend any one specific source, and offer the information below only to help you in your search.

Local Nursery or Garden Store

Nurseries near your home may sell bulk organic vegetable seed. Check your local phone directory, and call a few. If they themselves do not carry bulk organic vegetable seed, they may be able to tell you who does.

Garden stores in your area are another potential source of bulk organic vegetable seed. Home centers that sell supplies for home repairs often have a section for gardening. Large, discount box stores usually have garden centers, too. If you live in a rural area, you may find bulk organic vegetable seed at a farm supply store. Again, ask for referrals if the store does not have what you need.

Seed Catalogs

You may be able to order bulk organic vegetable seed from seed catalogs, and have it delivered to your address. Companies such as Burpee Seed Company have many kinds of organic vegetable seed in their catalog, and will no doubt be able to fill your order for bulk organic vegetable seed.

Online Seed Companies

The Internet, a potential source for so many things, has several seed companies that offer bulk organic vegetable seed. While we make no recommendation

1. Seeds of Change is a well known supplier of quality bulk organic vegetable seed. Many who do organic farming, or have large organic gardens, rely on this seed company.



2. Snow Seed Organics in California is another company you may want to check for bulk organic vegetable seed. The website says this company is the first fully certified organic seed dealer west of the U.S. Rockies.

3. Johnny’s Seed Company has been selling bulk organic vegetable seed and organic farming aids since 1973. This company also is a certified organic handler and processor, able to meet the new USDA organic requirements for the organic seeds they sell.

Those are only examples. There are many companies online from whom you can order bulk organic vegetable seed, and have it delivered - often free of charge - but study each site carefully, and look for recommendations in online forums.

CAUTION:

Before you purchase any bulk organic vegetable seed, you should be sure it is certified organic. You will want to ask about the supplier’s documentation, including organic certification. This will differ from country to country.

In the U.S., ask for: the grower’s certification number; issue date of certification; date when the annual inspection was completed; name of the inspecting company; and name of the certification director. Some companies, such as Seeds of Change post their Organic Certification online.

Before you purchase bulk organic vegetable seed, be sure the grower can warrant the absence of transgenic germplasm. That is, have they proven to the certification director that they have not genetically modified the seed?
