Running and Marijuana: Is It the New Runner’s High?
Author’s note: Marijuana is legal for recreational purposes in Arizona, where I reside. Please check your local laws regarding medical or recreational use in your area. In the United States, the federal government still considers marijuana illegal. This article is not intended to give advice. Each person is unique, and this is my personal experience only. The use of marijuana is known to cause a high heart rate, anxiety, and impairment among other side effects for some users. As always, speak with a medical professional before starting any type of exercise program and regarding the use of marijuana.

Living the Truth Others Refuse to See
Coercive control thrives in silence. It thrives in secrets. In the hidden corners where abuse is whispered about but never named, where fear keeps the truth locked inside. I write to shatter that silence. To strip abusers of the false power they cling to — not with vengeance, but with sacred testimony: a voice aligned with justice, truth, and the God who witnesses all. Speaking the truth of what happened is not a crime, not a grievance, not gossip. It is an act of courage, a declaration that fear and manipulation will no longer dictate reality.

When Consent Is a Lie: The Hidden Rape of Coercive Control
He was hunting where I was healing – at an AA recovery event, a veritable predator buffet. With the help of a little minion who knew me, he put a plan in motion: charm, mirror, over-disclose, locate my soft spots, normalize boundary-tests, then accelerate. Warmth and humility in public; escalating demands, derision, and isolation in private. He praised my recovery while he harvested it. He used his profession to breach my personal space, his flattery to disarm me, his “vulnerability” to catalogue my wounds. By the time sex, my money, and marriage arrived, the groundwork had already been laid.

Facets of a Morning Routine
The alarm cuts through the silence of my tiny apartment at 6:30 a.m., a grating buzz that pulls me from a dream I can’t quite remember. I slap the phone to snooze, but the weight of the day ahead—work, emails, the endless to-do list—nudges me out of bed. The floor is cold against my bare feet as I shuffle to the kitchen, where the coffee maker hums to life. The smell of brewing coffee is the only thing keeping me grounded in these early hours.

Is Marijuana Recommended for Healthy Life? An Appraisal
Increasingly, numerous countries are permitting the use of marijuana for therapeutic purposes. But its effect on human health is still poorly understood. And the few medical studies are already outdated. The issues surrounding dosage, potential side effects, and usage methods are still unresolved. Opponents of legalization claim the effect of marijuana on mental health and believe that it is a direct route to the use of heavier drugs. But no systematic research has been conducted on this issue either. The Witness briefly recounts an article by Malcolm Gladwell in The New Yorker about whether marijuana is really safe for health, what doctors say about it and what are the prospects for further, more detailed research.
