Cannabis had an amazing evolution in AmericaTop Story - April 2021
If you are like me, you have probably at some point in time wondered how the Cannabis plant which grows naturally in the earth ended up being illegal in the United States. There is a long and dark path to how we got to where we are today. The hemp plant first arrived in this nation in 1545 after it was introduced to Chile. It was basically used for making ropes and came to North America at Port Royal, Acadia in 1606. By 1619, the demand for hemp had increased to the point that the Virginia Assembly passed legislation requiring colonists to grow the crop.

'General Hospital' fans are concerned about the fate of Nicholas Bechtel
General Hospital viewers have watched Nicholas Bechtel grow from an impetuous seven year old Spencer Cassadine, into a handsome teen, complete with a squeaky changing voice. The current storyline, however, has fans concerned that GH might SORAS the popular character and replace Bechtel. This is all speculation but there is a very good reason. Ava and Nickolas are married and deeply in love and Spencer will have to return home at some point. Those who enjoy the CBS daytime drama are concerned that a darker, more brooding Spencer might be needed and that a new face might be given to this beloved character.

War: the genius and the folly
War is an American band that hailed from Long Beach, California. The group formed in 1969 and quickly had crossover audiences because they utilized elements of soul, blues, rock, raggae, funk, jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, and psychedelia. They had a sound that was all their own and their music was both genius and humorous. War transcended racial and cultural barriers by having a multi-ethnic band line-up. The band's music is such that it inspired many mellow moods on a Sunday afternoon. I hope fans enjoy this trip down memory lane with some of their hits. The melodies are sure to move you and the lyric will put a smile on your face.

Vocal creators do you really want to know?
An increasing number of Vocal creators are expressing the sentiment that they would like readers to be able to comment on their articles. I for one am thankful that Vocal does not have this option for several reasons. When I wrote for a local newspaper I was told I received some hate mail after stating that scripture, as well as history, indicates that regarding the Christmas story, the Wise Men found a child close to 2 years old in a house and not a baby in a manger. I was not allowed to see the letters and was told that I did not need that negativity inside of me. For this reason, I enjoy writing for Vocal because haters don't have a platform.

Randy Jackson then and now
The Jackson 5 officially became a group in 1965 with brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. Some fans may have believed that the other siblings have accomplished nothing on their own in recent years and were hanging on to Michael's coat tail but this is not true. Consider Randy, the youngest brother who was not allowed to join his siblings at this time because of his age. Seven Randall Jackson was born October 29, 1961 and is the youngest Jackson brother and the second-youngest Jackson child with his sister Janet Jackson being number 9. Randy first appeared with the J5 live in concert during a 1971 Christmas show that was held for blind children.

I'm proud to be a one-man woman
As I read the stories of other Vocal creators I realize how vastly different we all are regarding romance. Writers are sharing that they enjoy threesomes, open relationships, and women boldly declaring they don't mind sleeping around. Increasing numbers of females are letting the world know that they desire to explore their sexuality the same way men always have. I am tossing my hat into the ring so to speak to write about being a one-man woman because there are still those who enjoy this manner of living. While celebrating alternate lifestyles it's important to not overlook the fact that some people do prefer having one partner for life.
