Posted by CN Staff on June 09, 2006 at 08:47:06 PT By Elisa Ung, Philadelphia Inquirer Ā Source: Philadelphia Inquirer Ā New Jersey -- TV-talk-show host Montel Williams and the parents of a now-dead cancer patient urged state senators yesterday to make New Jersey the 12th state to enact a medical marijuana law.Opponents, including a federal drug enforcement official, said that there was no proof marijuana is safe as medicine and that the proposal could increase teenage drug use. Legislation in the Senate and Assembly would allow New Jersey's doctors to prescribe small amounts of marijuana as relief for patients suffering from cancer, AIDS, or other debilitating diseases. The Senate's Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee took testimony on the issue yesterday but did not vote.In emotional remarks, Williams, who has multiple sclerosis and is a registered medical marijuana user in California, said he resented being stigmatized as a 'dopehead.''I'm not only the poster child for MS now around the world, I'm the poster child for pot... . All I'm trying to do is get up in the morning and go to work pain-free,' Williams said, choking back tears.Gerry McGrath, a registered nurse, said her son Sean had been severely weakened by cancer when his doctors suggested he try marijuana, ' 'off the record,' of course,' she said.'It was remarkable. For the first time since he was diagnosed, Sean had a smile on his face, and he was able to eat something that didn't come out of a tube,' McGrath said. Marijuana eased her son's pain and spirits until the Robbinsville resident died in 2004 at 28, she said.Scott Burns, deputy director of the Office of National Drug Control policy, testified that 'smoked marijuana is not an approved medicine,' and that anecdotes were not enough for the Food and Drug Administration to declare the drug safe.In states that legalize the drug for medical purposes, Burns said, 'the perception of its danger is grossly reduced among young people.'Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal Controlled Substances Act, which bans marijuana, superseded state laws. But the vast majority of drug arrests are made by state and local police under state law, said the bill's sponsor, Sen. Nicholas Scutari (D., Union).'We are talking about very sick people who are in desperate need of relief,' he said. 'These people are not criminals.'Under his bill, the state would monitor the program and issue identification cards to approved patients, who would be allowed to possess no more than 1 ounce of usable marijuana and six plants.The legislation is supported by the New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians and the New Jersey State Nurses Association. Gov. Corzine also supports the concept of medical marijuana, spokesman Brendan Gilfillan said.Source: Philadelphia Inquirer (PA)Author: Elisa Ung , Inquirer Staff WriterPublished: June 9, 2006Copyright: 2006 Philadelphia Newspapers Inc.Contact: Inquirer.Letters phillynews.comWebsite: http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/Related Articles & Web Sites:CMMNJ http://www.cmmnj.orgThe Cherylheart Foundationhttp://www.cherylheart.org/MMJ Hearing Pits Talk Show Host, Drug Officialshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread21899.shtmlWhite House Official Opposes NJ's MMJ Lawhttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread21898.shtmlTV Host Pushes N.J. on Medical Marijuanahttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread21896.shtml Home ĀĀ Comment ĀĀ Email ĀĀ Register ĀĀ Recent Comments ĀĀ Help Comment #81 posted by FoM on June 15, 2006 at 13:09:43 PT afterburner That is good to know.

Why are the neocons so ōhung upö (whoops, another old term) with peace, love and understanding? I think their time would be better spent getting drunk at the country club. There was a show on NOVA the other night about Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, other explosives, and the prize too. He became very wealthy, but in his later years his soul was tormented by the fact that his inventions were the cause of countless thousands of deaths. In the movie ōZechariahö a young gunslinger takes up residence with an old stagecoach station operator. The old man tells the young gunslinger that he can find peace at this place. The young gunslinger says he wasnÆt looking for peace. The old stagecoach station operator looks him in the eye and says then you have been looking for the wrong thing.

It's a Spirit. It transcends ages and appearances. We are in essence the neo-cons conscience and they don't like what they see when they see our Spirit.It's the Hippie Spirit that is hard to take for them. [ Post Comment ] Comment #68 posted by kaptinemo on June 11, 2006 at 12:30:13 PT: JT, the problem is the mindset follows the words I've gone onto neo (as opposed to paleo-) conservative websites and seen a strange thing: Bumperstickers, buttons, all manner of politically oriented stuff, with a curious bent. Many of them show a picture of Mr. Bush threatening to punch the observer, with the caption, "Take that, hippie!" or "Bet you'll vote next time, hippie!" on them. I look around. high and low, and have not found any hippies in my area. I doubt that most of those reading here have ever seen a real, live hippie in the wild; a museum would be a more likely place, but I haven't found any such exhibits, either. I've come to the conclusion that real live honest-to-God hippies are an extinct species. Like the dodo and the passenger pidgeon, they died out long before the Endangered Species Act could have protected them.Yet...these neocons and their supporters deem hippies to be, not only alive and well, but politically dangerous enough to warrant their being treated in this way.Like the boogeyman, the hippie just isn't something anyone should be concerned about. Yet these people evidently have worked themselves up into a froth about them. Like they have about cannabis...and what they believe all cannabists to be liike, namely, a subspecies of Hippius Americanus. I sure don't fit the bill. Talk about being stuck in the past. [ Post Comment ] Comment #67 posted by Richard Zuckerman on June 11, 2006 at 12:23:46 PT: POST- EVENT COMMENT AGAINST CHAIRMAN VITALE! Keep in mind that this hearing was only for the Chairman of the Senate Health Committee to decide whether to post this S.B. 88 for a vote! A newspaper article the next day has him stating the issue is too controversial and refusing to post this Bill for a vote. New Jersey State Senator Joseph Vitale sounds alot like Congressman Frank Pallone, who has an office in this neighborhood, directly across the street from Johnson & Johnson, in New Brunswick, N.J., one of the only members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Health, who also opposes Medical Marijuana.Chairman Vitale has received $150,000 over the past three years from medical/pharmaceutical companies. It thus comes as no surprise that he wants to protect the interests of his campaign contributors by refusing to even post this Bill for a vote!!!Note that Chairman Vitale's office is located in Woodbridge, N.J., less than a block away from the police station. Woodbridge, New Jersey, and the State of New Jersey, is notoriously CORRUPT! Disgraced N.J. Governor James McGreevey is from Woodbridge, New Jersey!Unfortunately, the people of New Jersey have a blindfold on to vote Democrat at every election, regardless of who is running! New Jersey Health Committee member Thomas Kean, Jr., a Republican, is running for U.S. Senator against temporary fill-in U.S. Senator Menendez. The Campaign commercial running on television for Thomas Kean, Jr., refers to Mr. Kean as a "proven success." Hah! What a laugh! Just a couple of days prior to seeing his campaign commercial on television, a tenant in the house owned by a prior landlord told me he worked under Thomas Kean, Jr., and that Kean ran Elizabethtown Gas and NUI (some investment company), both companies, into the ground!!! Some "proven success"! Like President Bush, who drove at least one oil company into the ground!! Thomas Kean, Jr., does have a hard nose stance against illegal immigration, which I like, but I do not trust him, especially since the other day the television began running news that Laura Bush, the "First Lady", is coming to New Jersey to endorse Thomas Kean, Jr., for his U.S. Senatorial campaign! I do not trust either Republicans or Democrats! They are more like proven LIARS than proven success!! I am a registered LIBERTARIAN and will continue to vote for LIBERTARIAN AND GREEN PARTY CANDIDATES, EXCLUSIVELY!!!!!Richard Paul Zuckerman, Post Office Box 159, Metuchen, New Jersey, 08840-0159, (Cell telephone number)(848) 250-8879.

They are all words from the past and have lost most or all of their original meaning. I never see or hear the term ōpotheadö. Cannabis detractors may use this term pejoratively, but it shows their age and lack of another more contemporary term (because there is no negative contemporary term is there?).

[ Post Comment ] Comment #61 posted by kaptinemo on June 11, 2006 at 06:46:00 PT: Thanks, Toker, but I don't merit it In the final analysis, I'm just a wordy spleen-venter. All I am saying is a verbose way is what I daresay a lot of us think, feel and experience. And that comes from having lived long enough to see behind the masks that are put up in front of us all, to keep what we should be seeing hidden.As to books, the truth is, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. As Isaac Newton put it, "If I have seen so far, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." We have unacknowledged giants in the reform community, and always have. The late Rufus King (who went toe-to-toe with Anslinger, himself), Arnold Trebach, Fiorello LaGuardia (who also, with his report, enraged Anslinger), so many, so very many, and from the heights of society down to you and me, we have had and continue to have so many brave people risking so much in speaking Truth to Power, like Loretta Nall, who's being punished byThe State for exercising her rights as an American to speak out against the insanity and shameful waste of the DrugWar. (The warrant used to invade her home noted her LTE specifically as an excuse to do so!) It's why when I have spare coin, I send it her way for her campaign. These are our 'giants', and we should recognize that and help them when we can. I'm not doing anywhere near enough, thanks to always skirting fiscal disaster, and it shames me. Nothing I do here can truly compensate...but I try with my words and few deeds. As should we all...

[ Post Comment ] Comment #59 posted by whig on June 10, 2006 at 19:35:00 PT Sometimes I get angry... And then I get too serious.And then I start saying angry things.And then my friends remind me.We're all friends here.Love. [ Post Comment ] Comment #58 posted by whig on June 10, 2006 at 19:31:54 PT Hope That's brilliant. Thanks! It's great to see another way of looking at things that avoids being hurt and also avoids being angry.I have to say that when I was introduced to cannabis my then-girlfriend was very openly a pothead by her own definition, and there was no shame in it at all. It was something she just was and something I felt comfortable becoming because I didn't see anything derogatory about it. In fact one of my favorite musical bands, Gong, openly writes songs about being potheads. It's all fun, though as with all things cannabis-related there is a serious side which we prefer to laugh about than express with anger.I take it lightly, in that spirit, which is why I perceive it differently than many others do. Nobody has ever used the term "pothead" as a term of disparagement around me. Most everyone I know has used cannabis at some time or another or knows of close family members who have, and it may not be something that people talk about but there's no real room for the kind of condemnation that the evil "moralists" use. That's not my family, that's not my community. One thing about having been raised in Reform Judaism is there cannot be that kind of thing.But I see that in other places and situations it is really used to people as a hateful slur and to someone's face. So a kind word turns away wrath, and you've demonstrated it again so well.Bless you, Hope. [ Post Comment ] Comment #57 posted by Hope on June 10, 2006 at 18:48:02 PT Cannabis Head?

[ Post Comment ] Comment #54 posted by FoM on June 10, 2006 at 13:45:25 PT charmed quark I never heard of medical marijuana until 94. Then it wasn't even called medical marijuana just marijuana. I was told how it was helping Aids patients live longer and more productive lives. Before that I thought Cannabis was like a fine glass of wine to relax in the evening. I never thought of it as a party drug. I think of alcohol as a party drug though. [ Post Comment ] Comment #53 posted by charmed quark on June 10, 2006 at 13:06:47 PT Re:Change of Heart I didn't believe in the medical properties of cannabis either. Back in the 70's I knew a paraplegic who siad he smoked marijuana to reduce tremors and pain in his limbs. I thought he was making it up and just said it to justify being a "pot head". Another guy said he used it to prevent ulcers he was getting from a parasitic infection. I thought the same thing. They found a cure for the parasitic infection and that guy quit smoking. That started to make me think. It wasn't until my illness that I really started to understand cannabis' medical properties. Now I know that cannabis is actually very effective for the spasms and neuropathic pain associated with paraplegia. So I'm a lot like these people - I didn't realize the ture medicinal properties until my own illness forced me to.OTOH - I never thought either of these guys should be penalized for using cannabis.Back them, I figured I might become a pot head, too, if I was a paraplegic. And I never had anything against recreational use ( although I was worried about overuse by people I knew - I didn't want them to mess up their lives). I figured people should be allowed to do what they want. And I never saw any evidence that low to moderate use of cannabis caused any physical or social problems. So why should the government concern itself with it?And in any case, it was readily apparent that even if there were harms in cannabis use, the drug war was totally the wrong way to go about fixing it.

[ Post Comment ] Comment #47 posted by whig on June 10, 2006 at 10:43:36 PT FoM They use those kinds of insults because they think we're too respectful to respond in kind. And we should be careful because we don't want to use terms that insult our friends but why shouldn't we call a spade a spade or even a goddamn shovel when appropriate?Someone wants to insult you, you can let it hurt you, or you can just laugh and give it back with more precision. I don't believe in violence but as long as someone's just using words to hurt me I'm not going to give that to them, because words are my weapon of choice. Like any weapon, choosing them and using them with care.Should we be so nice and kind and decent to people who are hateful and mean and offensive to us? If a Bush-licking goose-stepping brownshirt Nazi prohibitionist wants to call us names, well we can't let that bother us too much, eh? [ Post Comment ] Comment #46 posted by kaptinemo on June 10, 2006 at 10:35:46 PT: Whig, Toker, and all who are interested How each of us deals with the issue is the purview of each individual. I do not expect anyone to think that I am demanding that anyone accept, adhere to or follow my stated opinion, for that is all it is...an opinion.But I recall one of Richard Pryor's later programs, where, in having traveled to Africa, he realized that there were no 'niggers' there. He had an epiphany, what the Buddhists call a satori, realizing the the very nature of the word was a weapon, and one used with terrible effect upon his people. He resolved not to use it again.I learned early on about the power of connotations of words, thanks to, of all things, a sci-fi novel. It showed how one can use words with positive and negative connotations to describe the same thing but do so in such a way that it stirs emotions, and reduces critical thought. This, needless to say, is the core of all propaganda. It's why I watch so little TV anymore, for those same dynamics are constantly at work on your Tube's screen, trying to persuade, cajole or condemn the target audience. In a word, to manipulate them. A concept abhorrent to a free people, as we are supposed to be. For a manipulable people, no matter how free they think themselves, are not truly free, but slaves. Slaves, not with chains on their wrists, but wrapped around their brains. You don't need a whip to control such people, once the machinery is in place; the lightest of nudges and taps is all you need.Most supporters of drug prohibition fit that latter category, and parrot the words and phrases, the memes, of those manipulating them. By throwing that epithet "pothead" back in their teeth by pointing out that they have swallowed and regurgitated uncritically a stereotype, and telling them why someone wants them to use it unthinkingly, I also throw a wrench into their mental machinery, causing gear jams. Upset the smooth flow of the machine, and get some dissonance going, and cause doubt to form, and the whole sequence spirals out of control. Meaning, some of those so discombobulated start to wonder at their assumptions, seemingly so solid and perfect before. That is where real freedom begins...with doubt. And it's also why prohibs are so terrified of debating us, for just pointing out that there exists another viewpoint to counter theirs is damaging to their carefully constructed machine of control. It doesn't take much to make it break down, just a few words.

[ Post Comment ] Comment #43 posted by whig on June 10, 2006 at 10:28:05 PT Hippie I'm not ashamed of this word either and it really does matter where you are and how people are around you so I get why it can be very hurtful in a conservative environment. It's used to dismiss people, call them a pot-smoking hippie pinko fag. Well, I'm not taking pinko or fag for myself but only because they aren't self-descriptive, so it's just incorrect and I'd correct someone on that. But pot-smoking hippie? As if it's better to be a goose-stepping nazi? See, I can give it right back if that's how someone wants to go.Does this lower the level of dialogue? Sure. But if people want to try to smear us with gutteral phrases we shouldn't insist on treating them with more respect.Yeah, I'll respect anyone if he or she will respect me. And if I can give it back I'll still try to do so with a sense of humor and immediately offer to bring things to a more civil level on both sides.

[ Post Comment ] Ā Comment #39 posted by kaptinemo on June 10, 2006 at 10:02:27 PT: FoM, it's just my nature I was once described by a fellow grunt as looking like a bulldog walking on it's hind legs. I consider that a compliment, as I know the breed well. Normally, despite it's appearence, it has a gentle, friendly, outgoing disposition. The ones I've known were great with kids....but threaten a family member, and you see why they bred those animals to fight bulls to the death. You do not want those jaws clamped on anything vital, as the animal will not let go unless a piece of what it is biting comes away with it.A trait I make no bones about finding admirable...I don't actually go looking for trouble, as it finds me all too easily. But I cannot stand hypocrisy and lies, and these forums provide a perfect way to both inform the unknowing about illicit drug issues...and chastise the blindly or (even more satisfying) the wilfully ignorant and mean-spirited amongst the opposition. Of which there are far too many. If I can plant the seed of doubt in at least one of their minds with my postings, then I will have accomplished what no amount of money ever could. I certainly do not consider myself a missionary. But I do ask that people think for themselves, rather than accept blindly the dictates of those who have self-serving ulterior motives. Which sums up the DrugWar very nicely, I think. Getting people to just think for a moment if what they have always assumed as true might be false, that is a real accomplishment. One worth risking rhetorical brickbats hurled at my ego in retaliation. [ Post Comment ] Ā Comment #38 posted by whig on June 10, 2006 at 09:47:54 PT kaptinemo You gave me a lot to think about and I was just discussing it with Mrs. Whig because I wanted to get her opinion too.Here's what I think. Words have the power we give them over us. We can allow words to be used to denigrate us and make us feel bad, or we can wear them as a badge of honor. There is a good argument (and you made one) that we shouldn't take pride in derogatory words because they were intended to give offense and we should demand to be treated with more respect. But we cannot make people stop using the words we don't like, it's only in how we respond to them that we can exercise some control.Different groups have been called names at different times and have responded differently. There is a lot more emphasis on political correctness on some than on others. Yesterday I gave the historical example of "yankees" being used for the rebellious colonists. You just gave the example of "nigger" being used for blacks. Neither term stopped being used, but one of them stopped being used hatefully (well, south of the border they still use Yanqui as an epithet but it doesn't probably bother most Americans).Or consider the gay community that proudly use the word "queer" in certain contexts. Yes, it's intended as a hurtful word but I think it carries less power when gays themselves will chant that they are "here, queer, get used to it."We can be victimized by "pothead" if we let ourselves be. If we own it for ourselves, I think we can take away most of its hurtful power. That isn't to say it should be our first choice of self-descriptive word, but we cannot censor what other people will call us. If we get upset and angry they'll be more encouraged not less.

I can't hear you!

It's been singularly gratifying to watch my theories about the prohibs' seeming inability to defend their positions - and why - be vindicated. It's especially heartening to see that they read what I write and it usually sends them into a 'hissy fit'.

Ask any Black man how the word 'nigger' makes him feel when it is said harshly. Ask any Gay person how they feel when someone meanly uses the word 'faggot' or 'dyke'. The same dynamics are at work, here. Words do have power; as I pointed out, every person here can conjure up a negative stereotype in their minds when they hear or read that word. That was deliberate, as deliberate as someone swinging a hammer at your head with intent to crush it. That's why I never use the word unless I explain its' connotations. I am a cannabist, somone who chooses for personal and medicinal purposes to use and consume elements of the most beneficial plant known to our species. I refuse to accept the implication of the word that our opponents have chosen to degrade us with. I refuse to participate in, to enable, that degradation. [ Post Comment ] Ā Comment #29 posted by global_warming on June 10, 2006 at 05:02:03 PT re: comment 23 The Plantation, I wonder what broke the back of the Southern plantations? To my understanding, it was just another plantation, it was a much larger plantation, which had its roots in the North. The North was well funded, as you have said they had many and big guns.Its difficult to see any way that the persecuted can ever communicate with their oppressors, yet it is a complex thing, this world or plantation and history does reveal that of the many large plantations and empires, they all fell to ruin. It should be understood that these faded empires actually were absorbed by the emerging forces in the new empires.Perhaps we might consider ourselves as an emerging force an empire that is growing in the heart of the big empire, as someone once said, the kingdom of god is within.I sometimes get a glimpse of this new empire, fueled by hemp oil, with incredible hemp clothing, hemp building materials sustaining our homes, cars, paper, medicines the list is long and the idea though it is only an idea, sometimes it only takes a good idea to start a revolution. [ Post Comment ] Ā Comment #28 posted by charmed quark on June 10, 2006 at 04:53:10 PT medicinal vs. recreational use I've dealt with this issue for years without resorting to calling the recreational users potheads. Although I think a lot of recreational users ARE using it in a medicinal manner - relaxing and trying to feel better IS a medicinal use. However, that's not a use that is considered "worthy" by states allowing medicinal use.I simply say that the recreational use and medicinal use are two entirely different areas that has no need on conflation, just like the medicinal use of many drugs that are also popular recreational drugs.

They both had a chance to overrule the lies that cannabis was prohibited because of the "harm" it causes to individuals and to society. We know now that the prohibition occurred because of racist fears and sensationalized lies about madness and violence. These so-called "harms" and many others spun by the prohibitionists have been disproved by science, despite the prohibitionists' vindictive attempts to even prohibit scientific studies themselves. By refusing to rule on "the harm principle" in Canada and twisting the Commerce clause to include non-Commercial activity in the United States, the Supreme Courts of both countries have dropped the ball. They essentially ruled that Parliament or Congress has the right to make arbitrary laws based on whim and disregard for scientific facts. This is a dishonest and egregious violation of their Constitutional responsibilities for oversight of the laws. I can only assume that the Justices were more afraid of an FDR-style court-packing, than the consequences of violating their primary mission of legal oversight!Enough is enough. Stop the madness. Repeal cannabis prohibition. Let the kind herb grow.

Maybe kill them all and let God sort them out is right. Maybe we should rule the world.Those thoughts don't really happen to me because war is self defeating. Someone will always be angry with someone for killing someone so on the war goes. The only way to stop war is to talk and listen. Wars end ultimately but how many people die until then?

The system works great for those who can excel in it, wealth is relatively easy to procure with good health (and wise habits). It is only when you have some obstacles that it becomes more difficult. Health obstacles we may not choose but artificial constructs of law we need not tolerate when they definately do not serve the greater good... or lend any dignity to the notion of liberty. What is overlooked is the disproportionate effect that the disparity of wealth has. The cheap easy plant that anyone can cultivate is forbidden yet expensive concotions are allowed.

Is it something that we should protest or maybe it would be better to celebrate it. There's a long history of proudly claiming labels in this country. Yankee was used by the revolutionary colonists after the British had used that term (Yankee Doodle) to make fun of them. Maybe we should claim pothead for our own. [ Post Comment ] Ā Comment #14 posted by lombar on June 09, 2006 at 15:15:16 PT Dope is perfectly legal. Dope is a substance used in model making, a surface protector or something. If someone really is a 'dope' head then they are using inhalants which will lead to serious brain damage. The word dope is mistakenly applied to drugs, as we all know, to further demonize the offically hated group: drug users.On one hand we have medical use advocates like Montel who still believe that the state should 'control' drugs with doctors as the 'guadians'. On the other there are those of us who push for full legalization knowing that the medical usage would be also facilitated once the prohibition is gone. I have seen some debate on the notion that medical usage advocates are actually blocking progress on cannabis law reform.The state (et al) does not stand between the citizen and what he consumes, that is the first underlying assumption that needs to be addressed. The attempted control of vice via the justice system is a throwback from less enlightened times.(maybe not ... ) The continual push of 'drug control', prohibition, as the only means to deal with non-sanction pleasure seeking activities, totally undermines the states authority because it is selling us delusions. Only those who believe the delusion(s) actually support prohibition.The second is the paternalistic nature of the drug laws. We, the adult citizens, are not 'children' of the 'big daddy' (brother) state who never reach true adulthood. The notion that laws can be made to protect us from ourselves subjugates us in a way that we are naturally conditioned to accept. After all, your daddy has your best interest at heart right?The third and worst is the belief that prohibition prevents suffering. The opposite is actually true. We all share the same uncertainty with respect to life, the same emotional states with respect to its uncertainty (and impermanence), and share similar desires. Who, leader, peasant, business man, would deny their loved ones relief from horrible suffering because the 'law is the law'? Only the hard-ass who beleives himself 'strong and principled' because he is willing to suffer for the benefit of a few ill-placed words in a musty old book? Many of the drug warriors are more than willing to be the cause of much suffering for millions because it is not they who will suffer.Montel is chipping at the wall in his own way. If we all pick up one grain, how much faster will the wall be removed? So Montel does not beleive we have the right to puff rockets till we feel fine unless we are sick... fine, what he thinks has absolutely no bearing on my activities anyway, he is not my parent, guardian, or master. Nor is the ever shifting patterns in the sand that our governments really are. [ Post Comment ] Ā Comment #13 posted by FoM on June 09, 2006 at 10:54:44 PT kaptinemo I know you are so right. I feel so bad that this is even an issue. Politicians are just a bunch of people role playing. No one can be straight forward honest. It's a down right sin. [ Post Comment ] Ā Comment #12 posted by kaptinemo on June 09, 2006 at 10:48:04 PT: FoM, I'll venture a guess Because he doesn't want to seem in bed with the full-on legalization movement.Call it cognitive dissonance, if you want to. He's stated he's only for medicinal use. Seeing that cannabists in general are members of an offically despised group (See our Observer's DrugSenseBot page http://drugpolicycentral.com/bot/pg/propaganda/ for an explanation) Mr. Williams is knowingly distancing himself from cannabists in general to ensure that he doesn't get slapped with the sobriquet of being a 'pothead', a stereotype he seeks to avoid being used against him by trying to make the distinction. If that happens and is not sufficiently and successfully repelled, his chances of being taken seriously are diminshed.Think about it. What is the mental image that comes to mind of a 'pothead'? The one that society has been conditioned through the propaganda process to accept as a reality, when vanishingly few cannabists actually match it. There is no countering stereotype to use against it...save that of the legitimate medicinal user.However, the fact is, even though I'd venture a guess the less politically savvy prohibs would like to 'tar' him with the 'pothead' stereotype, Mr. Williams has the race card to hold them in check if they try. If the prohibs try to pull that stunt, they will be called out immediately on it, and it won't make them look good. It's why, ever since he had Andrea Barthwell on his show (and practically ripped her a new one publicly) the prohibs have been assiduously avoiding any possible confrontation with him, as he's proven to be both knowledgeable and combative. The issue is intensely personal, not an academic one for him as it largely is for the prohibs, and Mr. Williams has shown how quickly he would repeat what happened to Barthwell on his show with any prohib who tried. The ferocity of his counterattack left Barthwell diminshed, and they know it. They're scared of him, and rightly so.But in order to be effective, he must avoid any pitfalls such as being labeled a member of a subgroup that society has been taught to be contemptuous of and discriminate against. Hence his use of an epithet that grates on our teeth.

The Epistle. Rom. xiii.
Owe nothing to any man but this, that ye love one another: for he that loveth another fulfilleth the law. For these commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt bear no false witness, Thou shalt not lust, and so forth; (if there be any other commandment) it is all comprehended in this saying, namely, Love thy neighbour as thyself. Love hurteth not his neighbour; therefore is love the fulfilling of the law. This also we know the season, how that it is time that we should now awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is past, the day is come nigh; let us therefore cast away the deeds of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly as it were in the day light; not in eating and drinking, neither in chambering and wantonness, neither in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts of it.
The Gospel. Matt. xxi.
AND when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then sent Jesus two "disciples, saying unto them, Go into the town that lieth over against you, and anon Pye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her : loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, say ye, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will let them go. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of the ass used to the yoke. The disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them; and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him thereon. And many of the people spread their garments in the way; other cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. Moreover the people that went before, and they that came after, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ; Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord ; Hosanna in the highest. And when he was come to Jerusalem all the city was moved, saying, Who is this And the people said, This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth a city of Galilee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple; and overthrew the tables of the money

Ad Dominum cum tribularer.
WHEN I was in trouble I called upon the Lord : and he heard me. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips : and from a deceitful tongue. What reward shall be given unto thee, thou false tongue: even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals. Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech : and to have mine habitation among the tents of Kedar. My soul hath long dwelt among them : that be enemies unto peace. I labour for peace, but when I speak unto them thereof: they make them to battle. Glory be to the Father, &c. Asit was in the beginning, &c.
The Collect.
BLEssed Lord, which hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning; Grant us that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience, and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace, and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ.
The Epistle. Rom. xv.
Whatsoever things are written aforetime, they are written for our learning, that we through patience, and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope. The God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one towards another, after the ensample of Christ Jesu : that ye all agreeing together, may with one mouth praise God, the Father of our Lord 4 Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ received us, to the praise of God. And this I say, that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: And that the Gentiles might praise God for his mercy: as it is written, For this cause I will praise thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy Name. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laud him, all ye nations together. And again, Esay saith, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust. The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may be rich in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
The Gospel. Luke xxi.
THERE shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and in the earth the people shall be at their wits end through despair; the sea and the water shall roar, and men's hearts shall fail them for fear, and for looking after those things which shall come on the earth : for the powers of heaven shall move. And then shall they see the Son of Man come in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he shewed them a similitude, Behold the fig-tree, and all other trees; when they shoot forth their buds, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is then nigh at hand. So likewise ye also (when ye see these things come to pass) be sure that the Kingdom of God is nigh. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all be fulfilled: heaven and earth shall pass; but my words shall not pass.
* The third Sunday. Cum invocarem. Psalm 4. HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteousness : thou hast set me at liberty when I was in
trouble; have mercy upon me,
The Collect.
LoRD, we beseech thee, give ear to our prayers, and by thy gracious visitation lighten the darkness of our heart, by our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Epistle. 1 Cor. iv.
LET a man this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God. Furthermore, it is required of the stewards, that a man be found faithful. With me it is but a very small thing that I should be judged of you, either of man's judgment: no, I judge not mine own self. For I know nought by myself, yet am I not thereby justified; it is the Lord that judgeth me. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness, and open the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise of God. The Gospel. Matt. xi.
WHEN John being in prison heard the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, Art thou he that shall come, or do we look for another: Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again what ye have heard and seen: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor receive the glad tidings of the Gospel: And happy is he that is not offended by me. And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see ? A reed that is shaken with the wind Or what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in king's houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? verily I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
* The fourth Sunday. Perba mea auribus. Psalm v.
PoNDER my words, O Lord : consider my meditation. O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I make my prayer. My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O Lord : early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. For thou art the God that hath no pleasure in wickedness:

Sony recently sent me their new DSC-WX1 to play with and review in conjunction with an upcoming Sweep Panorama photo contest. I can tell you that I'm excited about this camera. I'm by no means a professional photographer, but I do enjoy snapping shots whenever I can. This camera has some amazing settings options, as well as extremely clean and clear pictures. Even with all of the various modes and settings, it's not one that is difficult to figure out and operate, unlike other cameras I've tried in the past. Even without a flash or tripod, this camera does an amazing job of capturing excellent quality shots indoors. Now that is impressive.
I have to tell you about the most amazing part of this camera prior to the other things. I am so stunned by the Sweep Panorama option. You know how you take a series of shots to make a panorama? Then you have to use software to stitch them together. Well, with the Sweep Panorama option on this camera, you don't have to do all of that. Choose this option, click the shutter, and slowly move your camera in the direction of the arrow. The camera will stitch the shots together FOR you. That, to me, is worth double the money one of these babies cost!
The DSC-WX features a 10.2 megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS sensor to give you amazing performance in low light settings. The camera also features 10 frames per second burst shooting – which is handy as heck when you're trying to capture action moments.
The 10.2 mega-pixel WX1 camera has a 2.7-inch LCD display. It's barely over three quarters of an inch thick. This is an excellent choice for those of you photographers who want to carry a compact digital camera that packs a heck of a lot of power and performance.
The more I use it, the more I love this camera. Thanks to Sony for sending this to me to review. Keep your eyes here for details of the Sweep Panorama contest that will be coming soon.

As the International Space Station circles Earth at an altitude of only 400 km, basic radio technology can be used to communicate with it – as long as it flies within sight of the receiver on the ground.
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station group organises regular contacts with astronauts in space and schoolchildren. Here, ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli was talking to a school in Villasanta, Italy. Each overhead path allows enough time to answer around 18 questions from schoolchildren.
Paolo is on his third mission in space, called Vita, and has set records for amateur radio. During Vita he reclaimed his title of astronaut with the most school contacts, and also set a record for video over amateur radio – a new addition to the Station in 2014.
Paolo's mission is coming to an end, with the landing date set for 14 December at 08:36 GMT (09:36 CET) together with Russian commander Sergei Ryazansky and NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik in their Soyuz MS-05 spacecraft.
If you have the equipment at home, you can try to contact an astronaut on the Station as it passes within range. Paolo's call sign is IZ0JPA but all astronauts are trained on the equipment and have their own call sign. Hail them and you might get lucky as they pass by – if they have a minute to spare between working on experiments and maintaining the Space Station.
For more information and to apply for a school session to talk to an astronaut, go to the ARISS website here: http://www.ariss-eu.org/

Kubrick a Star Winner of Inaugural $1 million Bondi Stakes
The aggressive stance adopted by Racing NSW in taking on the Melbourne Spring Carnival with a series of lucrative races in Sydney produced a dream result for Star Thoroughbreds on Saturday when classy Shooting to Win colt Kubrick took out the inaugural $1million ATC Bondi Stakes (1600m).
The race proved a showcase for second crop sires with Kubrick defeating Dissident gelding Pancho with third place taken by Colada, whose sire Brazen Beau also had a stakes double at Moonee Valley courtesy of Ideas Man and Sartorial Splendor.
The first two home were prepared by Chris Waller, who did a masterful job in bringing Kubrick back from a disastrous trip to Melbourne for the Caulfield Guineas, a race won by his sire in 2014.
Kubrick drew wide on that occasion, was slowly away and had a tough run before eventually beating just two runners to the line.
He rebounded here under a daring ride from Brenton Avdulla, powering through a narrow gap on the fence to score a dominant length victory over fast finishing Pancho taking his overall record to three wins from seven starts with earnings in excess of $800,000.
"It is amazing what good horses can do," said Avdulla.
"My foot is on fire from the paint. He won like a top class colt. It is always nice to ride a winner, but with a million dollars next to it is even better.
"He wasn't beaten far in a Golden Rose, finishing next to Castelvecchio who was stiff not to win the Spring Champion."
"You forgave him the Caulfield Guineas after drawing wide and he didn't have much luck."
"Blinkers on today and a master trainer who always gets them spot on."
His stablemate Pancho was brave in defeat, the son of Dissident appealing as a bright prospect over further.
"He ran a tremendous race, he gave me a good feel going down to the barriers," said his rider Glyn Schofield.
"Relaxed beautifully like you would want over the mile, he let go well, but the winner was too good."
A $250,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Star Thoroughbreds from the Two Bays Farm draft, Kubrick is the third winner of a $1million race this year for Denise Martin's Star Thoroughbreds joining Invincibella (Magic Millions Mares) and Fiesta (Inglis Sprint).
Yet another success on Saturday for Victorian breeders, Kubrick was bred and sold by Two Bays Farm and is the first winner from Alcatraz, a three-quarter sister by Fastnet Rock to stakes-winner Chic Choice from the family of Group I winners Fairy King Prawn, Easy Rocking and Cosmic Endeavour, who is by Northern Meteor, the sire of Kubrick's sire Northern Meteor.
Alcatraz has a yearling filly by Written Tycoon and has foaled this spring producing a colt by the same sire.
Kubrick might not have a stakes win on his resume yet, but he is the flagbearer for his sire Shooting to Win, who stands at Darley NSW at a fee of $22,000, a sum that is half that of his full brother Deep Field.

Podcast - Black Disabled Bodies & Police Part 3
Listen to it at https://soundcloud.com/user-147187058/black-disabled-bodies-police-part-3
Hello peeps yes it's been a long time since my last part dealing with lynching & Black disabled bodies sorry about that. For the last year and half I've been deep into my upcoming book, Black Disabled Ancestors that will coming out in Feb 2020 under Por Press of Poor Magazine. For almost three years, I've been visited by Black disabled ancestors in my sleep who some were abused by police for example the story entitled: Eleanor Bumpurs and Korryn Gaines Comes Back Talk About Black & Blue Left On Their Black Disabled Bodies By The Police. This episode is going to be different from the last two Slavery and Lynching that have historical facts and stories. In Black Disabled Bodies & Police Part 3 will be more based on recent work around police brutality against people with disabilities and activism by people with disabilities & who are Deaf.
I was excited to see the tv series, Underground, an American television period drama series created by Misha Green and Joe Pokaski about the Underground Railroad in Antebellum Georgia. The show debuted March 9, 2016, on WGN America. On April 25, 2016, WGN renewed the show for a 10-episode second season, that premiered on March 8, 2017. From my viewpoint Underground for me was one of the first maistream televison series that really dealt with Harriet Tubman's voilent attack on her that cause her brian inury that played a major role in her work in the Underground Railroad. A lot of Black scholars go back to slave catchers as the first formation of police. From then to today there are no collected data on police brutality/kiling of Black disabled bodies or any disabled bodies.
I've beeen an activist against police bruutality since the late 1980's and I remember the Eleanor Bumpurs' case in New York and even writing a letter to the editor of Amsterdam News, a Black Newspapwer in NY.. And I remember the roll out of what would become popular in the 1990's and early 2000's and even still today and that was police crissis training.
In this episode of Black Disabled Bodies we look at police brutality on Black disabled bodies through not only my experiences but other Black/Brown disabled activists, movements, some cases and Krip-Hop Nation's cultural work around this issues. I just want to say since the late 1980's more and more disabled activists/artists have made their voice heard aound the issue of police brurtality and people with disabilities from Poor Magazine to Idriss Staneley Foundation to the Harriet Tubman Collective to Helping Educate to Advance the Rights of Deaf Communities - HEARD to Sunjay Lloyd Tojuhwa Smith to Dustin Gibson to Lydia X. Z. Brown & so many more. As I said in the last two episodes, what you will hear and read is from my experience, research, writings, activism and cultural work and I know there is a lot out there that I'm not covering here.
When I was a teenager I didn't accept an offer to be apart of a disability activist group in NY & CT back in the early 1980's because they were solely working on getting curb cuts and I was beginning to see Black disabled young men being shot and beaten up by police. I still remember what I told them at the time, I said, "I can't join you for curb cuts when my Black disabled brothers can't even come outside because they are being shot/beaten up by police!" and this was before computers so no hastag activism. That was my early break from the forming of disability rights movement at that time.
Police brutality against people with disabilities has been with me since the 1980's from CT to NY to MI to CA. When Grary N Gray and I started Disability Advocates of Minorities Orgaanization in 1998 we held what we called at that time Senseless Crimes Open Forum on crimes and brutality against people with disabilities on July14th/2001 in San Francisco with Poor Magazine & the mothers of Black disabled sons like Idriss Stelley and Cammerin Boyd who were killed by SFPD. I still remember interviewing a leading pollice brutality lawyer, John Burris, when he came to Poor Magazine' newsroom where I point blank asked him why when a disabled person get shot up by police there is very little reaction from community etc. and what he told me shocked me at that time. He said, "the disability community is not loud enough!" I was mad but it was and sadly still true today although the disability community have come a long was since that day in 2001.
From Mothers Against Police Brutaty to October 22nd to Cop Watch to Black Lives Matter many movements and their spokespersons have reported that most of police brutality have happened on people who have mental health disabilities and a lot of reporting, studies and white papers have put out that 50% of all police brutality/shootings have been against people who have mental health disabilities but since the early 1990's I've been saying that the number is a lot higher and includes more than mental health disabilities like people with autism, people who are Deaf, who have a physical and developmental dability and people who are blind. Also if you look at the boom of police in our schools you will see that students with disabilities and those who are in special education have a higher risk of being in hands of SRO's School Resource Officers. Yes since the late 1980's most of these cases of police brutality not all are Black/Brown people with disabilities & who are Deaf.
Only recently newspapers like the Washington Post to foundations like the Ruderman Family Foundation have come out with articles, reports and studies on police brutality against people with disabilities and of course the cultural work of Krip-Hop Nation like the 2012 Krip-Hop Nation's CD entitled Police Brutality Profiling Mixtape and the 2016 documentary with Emmitt Thrower entitled: Where Is Hope - The Art of Murder: Police Brutality Against People With Disabilities. And today we even have a website on this issue by a Native American disabled activist, Sunjay Lloyd Tojuhwa Smith at http://www.cripjustice.org/.. We have the excellent work of Helping Educate to Advance the Rights of Deaf Communities - HEARD who have put a spotlight on poolice bruutality against Deaf people like Pearl Pearson who was a Deaf, Black man who survived a brutal beating by Oklahoma Highway Patrol in 2014. Although with all of this great work around police brutality against people with disabilities and who are Deaf, many movements have left people with disabilities behide and from my view point the disability mainstream organizations beyond writing statements and blogging haven't take on this totpic like creating ongoing programs in communities. What is even more surprising is the rise of survaliance dressed up as safty towards people with disabilities but to be honest mainly people with autism and how this survaliance movement have been sweeping this nation locally from bracelets, i.d. and registry of people with disabilities. The shocking ddthing of this movement is the lack of voice against it and the high percentage of middle to upper class parents pushing it and think that is one of the reason of a lack of push back.
I really think that the disability community or the ones who have institutional power have missed a timely boat call Black Lives Matter not saying many of us didn't tried, yes we did and many of us got burn and not only individuals but our Black/Brown disabled organizations from Sins Invalid to Harriet Tubman Collective. But I must point out that the chapter of BLM in Tronto have done some amazing work and even incorperated th princicples of Disability Justice that was created by Sins Invalid. I don't want to get to that missing opportunity but on a personal achievement and hurt was the creation of Where Is Hope - The Art of Murder Police Brutality Against People With Disabilities Hip-Hop CD & film documentary & Educational packets under Krip-Hop Nation. Emitt Thrower who is a Black disabled retire NYPD officer/artist and I was overoyed and shocked at the same time when we finally put out this project & at the same time felt like we were rejected by many police brutality organizations and activist movements for suspport.
In 2017 I wrote an article entitled: Leroy's Suggestions on Police Brutality Against People with Disabilities Beyond Training….. I like to end this with this article.
Yes I talk a lot about the problems so here are some of my suggestions toward police brutality against people with disabilities and who are Deaf.
SOME of My Suggestions: So what can we do as a community more locally?
A. Switching the focuus from what police need to what the community needs.
B. Not saying that love ones shouldn't sue. We have to realize that $$ is coming from us the taxpayers. Can you imagine if that $$$$$ came out of police's pockets? If we can get intouched with families that lost a disabled/Deaf member by police brutality and offer our support and disability justice advice.
C. Team up with Malcolm x Grassroots Center, other Black orgs/Black disabled actiivists to do reports, studies and papers on police brutality with Black/Brown disabled/Deaf people.
D. Continue to write about it especially in the Black media on Black twitter
E. Institutionally - recommend that our disability orgs take on the issue of police brutality against our youth and young adults by offering community forums, trainings, art/music programs on the topic of state violence, workshops on how not to call 911"..
F. Make inroads into NAACP about disability justice
G. Demand that anti-police brutality groups take a workshop on disability justice by @Sins Invalid, Patricia Berne,' Never Calling Police workshop by Poor Magazine, Lisa Tiny Gray-Garcia
H. Support local activists/orgs who are doing groundbreaking work in police brutality and disability/Deaf like the Idriss Stanley Foundation La Mesha Irizarry in SF, Center for Convivial Research and Autonomy, Annie Paradise and Advance Youth Leadership Power in Chicago, Candace Marie
I. Use tools that are already out there like Where Is Hope film documentary, Emmitt Thrower and more
J. As you have seen that I didn't mention policy and police reform because it is all about community control.
K. Get to know your neighbor and their families and talk about how they can be more aware of disability in everyday and in a crisis situation so you can call them not the police.
L. Demand these big federal grants that go to national disabled orgs have real community buy in.
M. Work with other who are collecting data on this issue to make sure disability, Deaf people are not only included but are apart of the researching team.
N. Look internationally on police brutality and disability and what people with disabilities are doing.
We can demand more non-grant money, media and awareness to go to cultural projects like Krip-Hop Nation, Poor Magazine and Sins Invalid, etc. who have a record doing cultural work around police brutality against people with disabilities and many others. We can support the National Black Disability Coalition's, Jane Dunhamn work around implementing Black Disability Studies at colleges and universities and their work in the community creating advocacy and cultural outlets to Black families and Black disabled people. As street activists in this fight against police brutality can start and continue to ask the following: are our rallies accessible, is the disabled community represented not only in your rallies but on the stage, on your media, in your talking points and are the politics of disability justice practice implemented in social justice left and their work before and during a movement?"
Once again thank you for listening to the 3rd episode of Black Disabled Bodies and in this eposide we talked about policing there are two episodes before this first on Slavery and the Black Disabled Body and Lynching on Black Disabled Body. This is Leroy Moore & you can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Good heavens, this morning's walk was so uneventful that as I attempt to recall it my eyes are threatening to close, my breathing is slowing down and…woah, sorry you lost me there for a moment.
A half-hearted rainbow greeted me as I reached the route de Tocqueville and a fine shower of glacial rain caressed my stoic features.
Stoic in the sense of not very expressive due to hardly-awakedness. No reference to any Grecian physical aesthetic or anything like that. Walked along the truly boring Tocqueville road and then came back having been barked, quacked and neighed at variously. Nearly got run down by a guy in a white van – that was the high point.
Oh that and the toy gite for exhibitionist Barbie and Ken holiday-makers.
Oh and the rather pretentious electrician neighbour who thinks he is the Norse God of thunder (and lightning presumably).

Stretch marks on the skin are quite common among women; however they can also occur in case of men. Both men and women may have stretch marks due to obesity.
At times, the problem may arise due to genetic and hormonal problems. A few medicines, taken on long term basis, to deal with a particular disease can also result in the formation of stretch marks on the skin.
Lack of nutrition is another major cause of stretch marks. Apart from all these factors which result in the formation of stretch marks, one of the most common factors is pregnancy. As a lady gives birth to a baby, her stomach instantly shrinks, which results in occurrence of stretch marks.
There are various creams and lotions available in the market, which boast of eliminating stretch marks from the skin. However, in reality the commercial creams and lotions do not provide effective results. Also, the chemicals present in the commercially available creams might have some side effects.
Therefore, it is advised to follow the natural remedies to deal with the issue of stretch marks. In this article, we shall discuss about a few effective home remedies to deal with the problem of stretch marks.
Home Remedies for Stretch Marks
Olive Oil Massage
Massaging the hips and abdomen with warm olive oil would help in improving the blood circulation in the skin, thus helping to reduce stretch marks to a great extent.
Calendula Oil
Calendula oil is enriched with medicinal properties, thus proving to be very good massage oil for decreasing stretch marks.
Chamomile and Lavender Oil Massage
Massaging the abdomen with a mix of chamomile oil, lavender oil, and carrier oil (jojoba oil, almond oil, or avocado oil) is a very effective home remedy for stretch marks.
Cocoa Butter
Application of cocoa butter on the entire body would help in improving the health and texture of the skin. Cocoa butter can either be applied alone, or in combination with wheat germ oil, apricot kernel oil, grated beeswax, and vitamin E oil to attain effective results.
Aloe Vera Gel and Olive Oil
A mix of aloe vera gel, olive oil, and liquid obtained from vitamin A and E capsules works as a very good home remedy for stretch marks. Everyday massage of the skin with this solution would help in getting rid of stretch marks in a successful way.
Maintaining appropriate hydration level of the skin is mandatory for improved health and texture of the skin. It is strongly recommended to drink around ten glasses of water every day to maintain the skin's hydration level, consequently helping to improve the texture of the skin by getting rid of stretch marks.
Appropriate Nutrition
Providing adequate nutrition to the skin is crucial to maintain good health of the skin. The diet plan of the people should definitely contain foods enriched with vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, as these vitamins play a great role in improving the elasticity of the skin, consequently helping with elimination of stretch marks.
A few healthy food products for the skin include vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, and almonds.

Bubble Wrap (aka Playing Small)
I have a lot of clients who are stuck when they begin the coaching process because they want a perfect long-term plan for the future, complete clarity, stability, to be settled, a guarantee they'll make the right decision, and/or to be fully confident and fearless.
When you see that in writing, it probably looks pretty obvious why they are stuck; those things don't exist in real life. Real life is messy. We make mistakes and fail and feel scared sometimes.
But imagine if I told you I had a way to keep you safe and pain-free: bubble wrap. We will wrap you in bubble wrap and if you fall down or bump into something, you won't get hurt. Sound good?
The bubble wrap is also going to prevent you from going places where a bubble wrap suit isn't normal attire. It will constrict your movement and make you and your world feel limited. Still want the bubble wrap? Yeah, me neither.
We've all felt pain. Of course we don't like it. But it gave us experience that shows we are strong and can move through those difficult times. We can't allow ourselves to become so pain avoidant that we play it safe. Because playing it safe is playing small.
So if we take that bubble wrap off, are we likely to get hurt? Yes. Will that suck? Yes. Will we still be ok? Yes.
The alternative is to live less of a life. Be less yourself. Not bring your gifts fully to the world. And that's not ok. Because the world needs all of you. We need all of you.
In what situations do you show up with bubble wrap on? Where are you stalling while you wait for the conditions to get perfect? What's that thing you've been avoiding?
Go do that!

Alexander often feels isolated having to stay inside his apartment when his friends are out enjoying the summer.
Name: AlexanderAge: 27Occupation: Shop assistant
Everyone welcomes the summer - however I know what this time of year does to me. I've been a hay fever sufferer since I was 14 years old, and summer is just a string of horrible days with itching eyes, constantly running nose and that annoying sneezing.
Ever since I was little, one of my favourite summer activities was to play football in the park with all my friends. But when my allergies developed, it certainly put a stop to that – trying to play was practically impossible. I felt constantly miserably and out of breath!
The boys still meet up, but I haven't been out playing in the park since I was 15. We still hang out and play indoor football during the winter, but I can't help feeling that I put my social life on hold during the summer. I often feel isolated having to stay in my apartment on a lovely summer day – the world is right outside my doorstep but I can't be a part of it and it's making me feel quite depressed.
