Does Cannabis Lower Blood Pressure?
I am not a doctor. This is not an official medical answer to the question, Does cannabis lower blood pressure? I haven't found a lot of great research published on the subject, but the individual accounts are adding up so I thought I'd share a brief account of the results I got through personal blood pressure testing and trying to get an answer to this question.

10 Reasons Why Cannabis Isn't like Other Drugs
Nixon's "War on Drugs" and America's D.A.R.E. program are largely considered failures in people over the age of 18. I'll admit that when I was in grade school, hearing about drugs like crystal meth and heroin scared the living hell out of me; and as an adult, I have a more in-depth understanding as to why staying away from these substances is absolutely in my best interest. Sitting in a dark room as my classmates read off their group presentations on different illicit drugs though, I remember listening to the facts rattled off about marijuana and thinking, "What's the big deal?" Maybe I was an observant and rebellious youth (I was not), or maybe the thought of a "gateway drug" creating a "greater risk" to try other substances didn't really connect with me, but either way I steered clear of narcotics while in most of my formative years. Now, as an adult, I have been exposed to marijuana on a handful of occasions, and still find myself wondering, "What's the big deal?" Guess what? Marijuana is not a gateway drug, and you and I both know cannabis isn't like other drugs, too. I'm not just talking about what kind of high it gets you (although I will touch on that); just take a look at this list to see why with a stipulation here and there, cannabis isn't like other drugs.

10 Trends That Need to Come Back In Style
It's often said that trends are cyclical, and that's very true. When 2010 hit, we started yearning for the flashy neon goodies from the 80s. When 2000 hit, the trends of 70s bell bottoms were in full swing. And now, at 2018, we're just starting to see a resurgence in nostalgia for a wide range of different trends from the past.
