Californians Pushing to Legalize Marijuana

I never in my life thought this could happen in the US.  But now with the support of the majority of Californian residents and many local politicians, the legalization of Marijuana could soon be a reality.  The new measure would permit adults 21 and older to buy up to an ounce and grow small amounts. They would not be able to use it in public or around minors.

March is for preparing your garden

"The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."  Genesis 2:15

"This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce" Jeremiah 29:5

"The days are coming," declares the LORD, when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills.  I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit"  Amos 9:13-14

Man was designed to work the fields and enjoy the fruits of his labor.  He benefits from its low intensity exercise, fresh air, and sun exposure; keeping him strong, well into an old age.  The earth rewards his labor with fresh fruits and vegatables, berries and nuts; everything man needs to live a vibrant healthy life.  This is why man was put on a soil rich planet, so that the earth could take care of everyone of his needs.

Studies performed by Quest Network have attributed this longevity to diet, lifestyle and a cultural practice called Hara Hachi Bu.  In addition to logevity the Okinawan lifestyle has led to 1/5 the rate of colon and breast cancer in the USA, and 1/6 the rate of cardiocascular disease.
