Far from being a downer, cannabis lightens the heart and mind. Over the many, many centuries of its use, it has always been hailed as a benefit for mankind.

Rather than slowing down aspirations and innovation, many of modern societies greatest business successes have used cannabis. Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Hugh Heffner, Jay-Z, George Zimmer, Mark Cuban, John Mackey, Bill Gates, and countless others both admitted and still in the closet.

That sums up the lash against cannabis in the early 1970’s. The Nixon administration, faced with overwhelming public criticism, realized they could not condemn being black or protesting the war.

Suddenly, Black Rights groups and anti-war protestors were free game for the government to silence through arrest and incarceration. The government painted a picture for conservative America: All cannabis users were lazy, doped out hippies, sucking off the teat of society, rather than socially active Vietnam War protesters.

Over the years, Partnership for a Drug-Free America and Nancy Reagan’s Just Say No  campaigns have only deepened that stereotype. The “This is Your Brain on Drugs” ads were masterpieces of misinformation created by some of the greatest minds in advertising.

Even now, groups like Smart Approaches to Marijuana receive money from organizations who care about dangers to their profits more than the people. In addition, political powerhouses like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who decried marijuana legalization until recently, get major support from the alcohol industry.

The manipulation continues, but people have begun to wake up. The public has played puppet to the whims of secret hands for too long. Those who use cannabis know the truth. Those who hold power do as well.

The difference is that they deny that truth until they have no other choice. Dear Debbie found that out quite recently. Now she cautiously supports patient rights to use cannabis in the face of losing her office to another candidate who actually does.

We need to spread the fear of the truth instead of the fear of lies. Cannabis doesn’t turn us into lazy idiots. It awakens our passion, creativity, and intuition. It is the manipulation by and the unquestioning support of those powers that be which turns us into lazy idiots.

Yes your husband thinks and believes that you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

Just like you your husband also likes to feel wanted.

You have to remember that as his wife, sex to him is not just sex anymore.

Wives normally have alot of insecurities but the truth of the matter is that your husband probably wants you now more than ever.

The most important and the most obvious reason why your husband enjoys having sex with you.

“I’m not satisfied with our sex life or your career, so I can’t see myself marrying you.”

“I’m not turned on by you.”

“You work too damn much.”

“I don’t want a relationship with you.”

Small kids and what might be considered "appropriate behavior" in restaurants can be a rarity, as well as being a dividing topic in this parenting age.

I took them outside lots of times.

I've maybe resorted to giving an electronic device to my kids in a restaurant once (that's not an exaggeration).

OK, maybe I haven't used those exact words, but yeah, I've told my kids to lower their voices and "be quiet now or else." Or else what? We go outside and you don't get to finish those french fries (again). And yes, I stick to my threat.

"That lady is staring at us, wondering why we're being so crazy in a restaurant."

This has worked very well for me.

Not to say that women are the only people who wear makeup, of course, but are generally the ones who receive opinions about.

People say women wear too much makeup

Some people say women look better without makeup

That people look tired when we're not wearing any.

There are ots of reasons why people wear makeup, and they rarely have to do with gaining approval from anyone else.

not for others

You get to choose what products you will use and how they are applied.

To start with, while overall in Italy the unemployment figures have declined in recent years, youth unemployment is still high, with many young Italians forced to live at home into their late 20's and beyond.

A lack of money and a house is off-putting for many would-be parents.

Working women face the added fear of losing their job if they have a child. Among Italian women who are employed when they become pregnant, one in four loses her job within a year of giving birth, according to data from national statistics agency Istat - a risk which increases with each subsequent child.

42.8 percent of those who continued to work after having a child admitted to struggling to reconcile their work and family life.

In 2014, the IMF said Italy had done the least of any European country to encourage women to work, with only around half of women in the workforce and even fewer in the south.

One in two Italian families regularly use grandparents as a babysitting resource, with 20 percent providing daily or almost daily care.

The prevailing assumption is that this is a function of economic hardship, especially since it rose to prominence at the same time as the great recession was hitting hard. 

As the length of lives gets extended, the stages of life are likewise being recast. Social scientists have heralded the advent of an entirely new stage of life between adolescence and adulthood, often called “emerging adulthood.” 

Many young people live at home because they are close to their parents.

Research shows that 6 in 10 millennials (age 18 to 35) today say they’re very close to their parents. By contrast, fewer than half of middle-aged and older adults say the same was true of their relationships with their own parents back when they were in their 20s and 30s.

When houses cost 12 - 30 thousand somones mortgage payment could have been as low as $100 - $300 a month.

Since real estate prices rose its difficult to find affordable housing in many areas.
