What Are the Dangers of Synthetic Marijuana?
Imagine we could take a time machine back to before the political scene was so ridiculous. I'm not talking about a Trump and Clinton election, but rather the short-winded feud of the Obama/Romney election. Who could forget Romney? America's favorite handsome Republican nominee named after an important piece of baseball equipment. Romney, being the quintessential poster boy for American progress, had quite the stance on the evils of marijuana. In an attempt to argue against the advent of medical marijuana, Romney had only this to say: "People talk about medicinal marijuana. And you know, you hear that story that people who are sick need medicinal marijuana. "But marijuana is the entry drug for people trying to get kids hooked on drugs. I don't want medicinal marijuana; there are synthetic forms of marijuana that are available for people who need it for prescription. Don't open the doorway to medicinal marijuana."

Best Marijuana Cleanses
Stringent marijuana drug laws are dramatically changing at the local, state, and federal levels, but there is still a powerful stigma attached to marijuana use in the workplace and other social environments. Because of marijuana's new quasi-legal status, use is less discriminated against.

Famous Marijuana Smuggling Plane
A memorable flight in a Lockheed Lodestar was a 2,000" takeoff run at a bush airport. The stats from Lockheed said this bird could clear a 50" obstacle at the end of a runway after rolling only 1,870". But that’s with a pilot, copilot, stewardess, and 14 passengers. Not to mention the weight added from marijuana smuggling. This version was different though: no seats, no gallery, no john, no door—stripped naked. Twenty-three of us skydivers huddled in the back. A clump of trees sat at the end of the runway that nobody was sure this 1940s relic could clear. The pilot revved up the twin Pratt and Whitney engines, 12,000 horse-power each. He lined up the three-ton princess on the runway and completed his checklist.

Marijuana Soil Guide
Marijuana is a high-energy plant which grows quickly in fertile soil or a medium that is rich in available nutrients. Nutrients are found in the soil's parent materials: sand, clay, humus, minerals, rocks, and water are added to hydroponic solutions or soils using fertilizer. Nutrients dissolve in soil water (soil solution), which is then absorbed by the plant. In complex chemical processes, roots release ions in exchange for nutrients that are dissolved in the soil solution.
