For How Long Can THC Be Detected in Our System?
Photo Credit: Vaping360 Whether you are a medical or recreational marijuana user, occasional or a regular consumer, it doesn’t hurt to know how long does the drug stay in your body. Because there might come the time when you could be asked to take the marijuana drug test by your insurance company, employer or a roadside police officer.

How To Pass a Urine Test. Top Story - August 2017.
Whether we like it or not, getting a job typically means that you will be under a lot of scrutiny — much of it totally legal. Depending on your state, companies can legally ask you if you use birth control, if you have had felonies, and also if you have been fired for issues dealing with people.

A Spray of Dope
Sometimes the volumes of information available by just one or two clicks can confuse both experts and non-experts, especially when it comes to the contentious topic of marijuana. To partake or not to partake; to vape or not to vape; to ingest in any form or to steer clear in favor of approved medications; to bypass the local drug dealer and head to a marijuana-friendly state; to scrupulously abide by the letter of the law, until the law becomes so arcane that mere mortals are left scratching their heads. Those are all questions that can cloud the judgment of a healthy person, let alone someone affected by mental or physical pain. Even proponents of taking “just the right amount of marijuana,” because of a purported greater benefit/risk profile compared to other medications, warn about not taking “too much at too young an age,” lest one’s neural wiring becomes totally tangled and a generation of stoners are left unable to control themselves, let alone the country. Of course, that opens up a can of worms, about how sober individuals are governing their respective domains right now, but I digress.

Does Marijuana Make You Lazy?
2017 is a big year for anyone concerned about marijuana. It may well be the breakthrough year, the time when the fight to decriminalize the up-to-now “evil" weed turns the corner. Lengthy and exhaustive scientific studies are beginning to appear that strenuously challenge our current beliefs and fears about marijuana.

Cannabis, Terpenes, Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency, and the Effects on our Bodies
So, let's start by going through the cannabinoid system in our bodies and DNA! Again...At every stage of biological life, even whales, microscopic sea squirts, and tiny nematodes have an endocannabinoid system! To deny that system is like saying Carl Sagan was a drug-addled idiot, and this 'idiot' designed the Voyager spacecraft that's currently headed to the far reaches of our little galaxy, and he was a regular stoner in the grand scheme of the universe! So, don't piss down my back, and tell me it's raining! Einstein smoked, and he came up with the single greatest equation in E=MC squared! Benjamin Franklin, Abe Lincoln, and a host of past and present scientists, and inventors smoked weed! Don't try to say that it's dope, and makes you a drug-addled retard! I'll teach you the truths and facts! Go to my YouTube channel and subscribe to stay up to date when I post a new video! And I've created a group on Facebook called Cannabis Education For Everyone, facebook.com/groups/Marizonaricksmmjeducation.

Home is Where the Weed Belongs!
So! Put good weed in, and get a great, healthy feeling out! Disrespect cannabis, and beware my wrath! Reach out and embrace cannabis and cannabinoids! They really do what I'm telling you... cannabinoids heal our bodies through the utilization of medical cannabis and hemp-based cannabidiol medicines. I'm waiting for my video #102 in my continuing series for the legalization, and education of the human endo-cannabinoid system; a simple system if you really look at it. But it does very complicated effects to our health care overall.

Cannabis Education For Everyone!
Well, I hope that everyone read my first story here, "Marijuana & Morphine... My Life in a Pill Bottle". Posted just a few days ago. Hopefully, everyone was able to stand the fireworks displays on the 4th! Me? Not so much. We can see five different fireworks shows from our end of the road, dead-end, where we have chosen to live. I grew up in upstate NY, left for the Army in '79, and as a result, I can no longer stand the shows. My hypervigilance kicks in and sends me into a state of fear/flashbacks. Even medical cannabis doesn't quite keep up with the hypervigilance. A cross I must bear.

How To Forget the Fog of War
“How many wars is the US really fighting?” blares the headline of a 2015 article. The answer, according to the author, Nick Turse, is that US Special Operations forces have already deployed to 135 nations, carrying out roles as advisors, performing secret operations, or actively engaged as the tip of the spear in war. Some of these operations have taken place in hot spots of the world like Afghanistan and Iraq. The seemingly imminent destruction of ISIS in Mosul bears testimony to the bravery and skills of all the soldiers who have taken up arms. Their victories will no doubt be cause for much relief, celebration, and national accolades for those that went above and beyond the call of duty; however, long after the fanfare and the last tweets have disappeared into the ether, some families will welcome soldiers with "invisible wounds" home. They will bear permanent mental scars of war.

Marijuana & Morphine... My Life in a Pill Bottle
When I was just 8 years old, growing up in upstate NY, I started smoking cigarettes and pot. All through High School, and in '79, I joined the Army, which, at the time was full of pot smokers, and life in the 82d Airborne was the "high life"! After discharge, I spent 30 years in restaurants and assorted jobs... construction, landscaping, stucco, convenience store, etc. I've always been a multi-tasker, and chronic overworker; sometimes pulling shifts in three different jobs in a 24 hour period. And all through the years, I was a drummer, RUSH-style, Neil Peart, my drum-god! During all the time in the Airborne, I suffered a melee of injuries to my body, including... 4 major concussions, 3 lesser concussions, many cases of whiplash to the neck, dislocations, crushed bones, and a gamut on injurious happenings to my body. Between the late 80s and the turn of the millennia, I smoked intermittently. Cigarettes, every day, up to two and a half packs a day, and I smoked weed as I ran across friends who smoked, but I was always the lightweight in the party. I got high easily, and I've always enjoyed marijuana. Fast-forward to 10 years ago.
