Burn one's Bridges to win
An old and experienced captain was returning from unloading his cargo on a vast ocean when a terrible storm struck. The sailors were in a panic. The old captain ordered them to open the hold and fill it with water. "Is the captain mad? Filling the hold of the ship with water will only increase the pressure on the ship and make it sink. Isn't that suicidal?" "Muttered a young sailor.

My weird complicated love-hate relationship with weed
I’m sure we’ve been there at some point when in high school in between classes passing in between crowds of students and you get a whiff of that smell. It wasn’t even that strong usually unless they had it on them. The smell was in their clothes. I’m not sure if I’m alone in this, but that dank sometimes faint smell of weed made my heart pound and my senses focused, I felt so needy of it. The only problem is that I decided to indulge myself.

Marijuana in Thailand
It is Officially Legal in Thailand In the early days of June 2022 there was a bit of a buzz (no pun intended) around the Land of Smiles. Restrictions were about to be reduced to a minimal from COVID-19, the pandemic was to be considered an endemic and marijuana was about to become legalized. For many of us who are from North America the legalization of marijuana is no big deal, but in Asia it is far from the norm. What was even better about the Thai Government making this decision is they did it in a way as to not suffocate or restrict the local population with regulations and rules like in the dictatorship of Canada where the rules are just nonsense to say the least. In Thailand the government made the move in order to enable the Thai population to have access to additional revenue both through creating new and innovative products and creating a whole new kind of tourism.

An Argument Against Secret Knowledge
It seems obvious to state that as the number of people who are aware of a given secret grows the chances of its being revealed increases. There is a point at which the number of people that know a given secret is essentially guaranteed to result in its reveal. What that number is varies greatly based on the type of secret, and subset of persons that know it, but all secrets have such a number. The power of the particular secret will reduce that number as the temptation to reveal it becomes ever stronger the more powerful it is. This is human nature and it can only be fought against, but it cannot ever be defeated.

Ditch Weed to Dispensary
Cannabis has come from brick weed to brick and mortar. Medical marijuana is on a rise across the states and it’s followed shortly by recreational legality. States are benefitting from the legal pot and people are getting the help that they need without the use of pharmaceuticals. You can walk into a dispensary and get anything THC or CBD related, at any time, as long as they’re open. It’s magical.

Should the federal government legalize marijuana in the US?
Drugs have been a topic of debate for many years . They were used in the past for medical and spiritual purposes, but why did they become demonized and illegal? Even cocaine was one of the main ingredients in the popular Coca-cola drink, and morphine was used in World War II among soldiers for medical purposes. Jennifer Lawler writes that the word drugs means different things for medical professionals, which consists of medications used to treat diseases, while for police officers drugs are illegal substances that alter a person’s moods and personality (9).

My Secret Garden
Chapter 2 - Strangers in Public Places A crooked-headed cat sat under Jaye’s chair. Jaye sat with her coffee cup, writing tablet, pens and pencils, watching the leaves swirl around the yard. A storm was passing by the peninsula, headed for the northeast. New York and New Jersey were in for some rough weather - rain, waves, wind and snow. It looked as though West Virginia and parts north were going to see an early snowfall.
