Does "Marijuana" have medical value

Marijuana has therapeutic properties that derive from the cannibis plant, the stalk consists of fibre and pulp and is high in nutritional seed oil.

Many of us may think that Marijuana in its natural form is healthy but in actual fact short and long term use can have long lasting effects even in its natural form. Short term effects include memeory loss, distored perception, problem thinking, loss of motor vehicle skills, decrease in muscle strengh and an increase heart rate and anxiety.

According to the National Institute of Health it has been reported that an individual who smokes five joints a week may be taking as much cancer causing chemicals as someone who smokes one full pack of cigarettes a day.

Marijuana contains more then 400 chemicals. Smoking one marijuana joint deposits four times the amount of tar onto your lungs then a filtered tabacco cigarette. So in actual fact we are slowly killing ourselves everytime we feel like having a bit of fun or experimenting.

Reports also convey that the risk of a heart attack is five times higher then usual in the hour after smoking marijuana. Although we might think that it takes as much as 1500 pounds in 15 minutes to induce death, marijuana is a dangerous substance.

There is no safe way of using marijuana and many may believe that it have medical value but the cons outweigh the pros and no study has reported that marijuana is a vital substance that can cure diseases for a long period of time.

So if you decide to take a puff in future, be aware of the risks involved as Marijuana has no medical value, it is simply a getaway drug.

If I were the boss

If I were the boss I would ensure that my business was the best it could be and develop it into a gold mine. I would treat staff with the utmost respect and give credit where it is due, employee of the month would be sure to receive a weekend away to a magnificent location. I would make it my duty to ensure that staff are empowered and specialise in their various working sectors, because without their knowledge and skills the business would not be able to grow so rapidly.

If I were the boss Fridays would be a working day that lasted until 12pm(noon) and employees could relax and help themselves to snacks and refreshments or leave and spend the rest of the day with their families. I would enjoy all the perks of being the boss which would include flexible working hours, enjoying the sights of exotic islands along with its fruity beverages, spending priceless family time and building business contacts throughout the world.

If I were the boss I would ensure that a portion of the business profits were donated towards creating a better education for underpriviledged children. I would adapt an attitude of perseverance and diligence towards growing my business.

If I were the boss, I would live a life of luxury but also ensure that good financial decisions were being made in a business and personal capacity. I would enjoy having the opportunity to sit back, place capable individuals in charge and watch the business florish.

I would try to be the best boss that I could possibly be by implementing mutual respect and understanding and maintaining a well structured organisation.

Two people came out of a building and into a story

Where they discovered that they had supernatural powers and were surrounded by super hero's. Tom, 22 and Jane, 25 no longer had to spend endless hours in the office slaving away.

They no longer needed a job because office jobs did not exist in the world of super hero's. They had a higher calling, one where they had a duty to serve and to protect the people of Avatar world. The inhabitants of Avatar were being destroyed by mankind.

Tom and Jane simply could not stand aside and do nothing so they united hands, trusted in their powers and flew to the rescue of these people.

Surrounded in a forest of fruit and breathtaking beauty, Tom and Jane suddenly heard an alarming noise....

It was their alarm clock and it was time to get to work, back to reality Tom and Jane.

Does love at first sight exist?

So you are walking down the street with a pile of books, a dog suddenly rushes past you and you stumble over your feet and all the books fall to the floor A shadow appears in the near distance and lends a hand, as you look into his eyes, your heart melts and it seems as if the world came to a stand still. Just for a moment you are lost in each others eyes but does this mean that you are meant for each other?

Many of us may think that this is love at first sight which may be true in those unique situations where the two love birds end up being life partners but in the real world love takes hard work.

Males and females are made for one another and have been put on this earth to procreate and fall inlove.

So does love at first sight exist?

My answer to this is NO. It is simply the hand of fate that brings us together along with the chemistry of love.

What does exist is at first sight is sexual attraction?

If I ruled the world for one day

I would wake up in the mornings and be proud of my country as it would be without shame. I would give freely, laugh uncontrollably and live a long and fulfilled life. If I ruled the world for oned day street children would be one of my first priorities, they would be clothed, feed and placed in a safe and secure environment. I would ensure that every citizen was aware of their rights.

Jacob Zuma would not exist if I ruled the world, he would be sent to a land of torture because the man thinks he is a God and untouchable. If I ruled the world for just one day love and kindness would make the world go round and not money because it has created a society of greed.

Every women would be respected and honoured for their role in society and polygamy would not exist. A female president would led this country and do so with pride and great honour.

If I ruled the world for one day opportunitites would be endless and the future bright.

South Africa would be a country of unity.

Designer PR

When we think about "designer products" we think fresh, new, innovative, something that is different and has a style of it's own. Can you imagine a world where PR is no longer in the background and formed part of the Marketing and Advertising Departments? What if Public Relations led the way and created new and innovative communication strategies that would enable organisations to grow? Well PR your day has come and the future awaits.

Organisations need to realise that PR is a vital and powerful tool to keep their companies ahead in a competitive market place. Practitioners have to adapt a model of excellence and realise that the future for Public Relations could be huge if we adapt a greater understanding of our stakeholders, strategic public relations and communication management. A world filled with opportunities could be ahead for the field of Public Relations.

Is polygamy a feminist issue?

Yes. Polygamy is a feminist issue because men and women do not share equal rights. Women should be able to live freely chosen lives just as men do and this is not the case in a polygamist marriage. When women marry into a polygamist marriage they have a duty to bear children and raise them, they are therefore not provided with the opportunity to be career minded and be career women. Polygamy is degrading to women because they are not recognised as having human dignity. They are also at a financial disadvantage because they are dependent on the sole provider which is the man and are not given the opportunity to empower themselves. Women should be able to enter freely and leave freely within a marriage just as men.
