I have no problem with growing hemp to replace cotton or wood or any other plant uses but to those who would smoke the stuff I tender some data from Dr Anita Pepi of which I think you should be aware:
Marijuana is the common name for a drug from the plant Cannabis sativa. The main active ingredient in marijuana is “THC” = delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. There are 400 other chemicals in the plant as well. The strength of today’s marijuana is as much as ten times greater than the marijuana used in the early 1970s.
Here is a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for THC. (MSDS’s are fact sheets required by the U.S. government to be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace.) Here are some of the more fascinating findings:
Application of Cannabis tar to animal skin resulted in tumor production.
“Regular chronic use may result in reproductive effects in males including decreased testicular size, testosterone levels, sperm count and motility, and abnormalities in sperm.” Breasts may enlarge in males.
“Females may experience a high frequency of abnormal periods, less ovulation and decreased prolactin levels.” (Decreased prolactin hormone levels means that the pituitary, the master gland, is degenerating and producing less of its hormone called prolactin.)
Repeated ingestion may result in…”apathy, dullness, anxiety, panic, aggressiveness, disorientation, confusion, clouding of mental processes with impaired judgement and memory, loss of perspective, reduced motivation and acute insecurity”.
“Weight gain may occur…”
THC is a “central nervous system depressant. Poisoning may also affect the respiratory, cardiovascular and immune systems.”
Marijuana use has been correlated by several studies with the development of anxiety, psychosis, and depression.
The American Cancer Society says: “Many researchers agree that marijuana contains known carcinogens, or chemicals that can cause cancer…Some researchers caution that… smoking marijuana may decrease reproductive function, cause lung disease, and increase the risk of cancer of the lungs, mouth, and tongue. It may also suppress the body’s immune system and increase the risk of leukemia in children whose mothers smoke marijuana during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use marijuana.”
Unfortunately, chemicals from marijuana can stay in the body for decades, stored in the fatty tissues. If someone does a fast, cleanse, or weight-loss program, marijuana residues can dislodge and move back into the bloodstream. People can then re-experience the marijuana and its effects.
When someone ingests or detoxifies marijuana, there is an immediate burn-up of vitamins and minerals in the body. These resulting nutritional deficiencies create other symptoms, on top of the usual effects from marijuana.
Whatever problem marijuana seems to solve in a person’s life, there are far healthier solutions available. Read successes here to find out.

Life Begins Where Your Comfort Zone Ends
“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” – Neale Donald Walsch
“When coasting in our comfort zones, we don’t grow. We continue to do more of the same…. Maintaining a comfort zone can, paradoxically, lead to discomfort in the long run. If by being comfortable we avoid important life issues, internal tension accumulates…. Eventually, as both internal and external pressures for change persist, the ‘comfort zone’ ceases to serve us.” – Eric Allenbaugh
What Google’s Enhanced Campaigns Mean For Small Businesses
It’s been a huge week of news in the online maketing industry, particularly when it comes to Google. For one, Yahoo announced that it has signed a contextual ad agreement with Google, which will see Google display ads appear on various Yahoo properties, and even some co-branded sites. Before that, Google announced the launch of enhanced campaigns for AdWords, which is a huge evolutionary step (for better or for worse) for Google’s ad product, and by default, that means it has huge ramifications for online advertising.

How To Increase Sales By Leveraging Trust
How To Increase Sales By Leveraging Trust
People buy when they’re confident in you.
And confidence comes from trust.
But what if you’re new to business, or simply
dealing with a prospects who don’t know much
about you… how do you build trust fast?
It’s simple: change the game from the outset.
It’s a strategy very few people use.
You’ve probably heard about leveraging off other
people’s money.
Well, I’ll tell you an equally powerful concept.
It’s…
LEVERAGING OFF OTHER PEOPLE’S TRUST
It’s easy to do when you know how. And perhaps an
even faster way to create wealth than the “other
people’s money” concept.
Of course, you’ve got to know how to build a
relationship with those centres of influence who
have the connections first.
And you’ve got to know how to make it dead easy
for them to recommend you.
That’s the tricky part most people don’t
understand.
But if you take action, you soon will.
You see, I just uploaded a mastermind recording
for my More Time at the Beach Members which tells
you exactly that.
In fact, you’ll see the exact letter you can send
out to get these “trust partners” on board.
Plus, the letter they too can send out to their
clients, to automate the entire process.

US Velocity of Money
STATISTICS DO TELL … Per the site Washingtonsblog.com and an article by Mark McHugh at http://acrossthestreetnet.wordpress.com/2012/08/19 “Velocity of money is the frequency with which a unit of money is spent on new goods and services. It is a far better indicator of economic activity than GDP, consumer prices, the stock market, or [other ]. In a healthy economy, the same dollar is collected as payment and subsequently spent many times over.
In a depression, the velocity of money goes catatonic. Velocity of money is calculated by simply dividing GDP by a given money supply. This VoM chart using monetary base should end any discussion of what ”this” is and whether or not anybody should be using the word “recovery” with a straight face.” … “In just four short years, our “enlightened” policy-makers have slowed money velocity to depths never seen in the Great Depression.”
Another gem from the article: “…total government spending (Federal, State and Local) accounted for over 40% of GDP in 2011.”
Unlocking Smart Phones Illegal in USA
It is now illegal in the U.S. to unlock any Smartphone purchased from a carrier without that carrier’s permission.
Under the new law, first-time offenders could face fines of up to 500K dollars, be imprisoned for five years, or both. Repeat offenders face a fine of 1M dollars, imprisonment for up to 10 years, or both.
The Library of Congress, which handles the rulemaking for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, enacted the law in October with a 90-day transition period. That transition period ran out Jan. 26.

Make A Decision
Oh that this were true. It happens sometimes but not often enough for we often have previously made opposing decisions we have not rescinded. In order to make your decisions become reality you also need to do the steps necessary to bring them into being. You cannot win lotto if you don’t buy a ticket! You cannot build a house without laying some bricks!
