Should marijuana be legalised?





Cannabis sativa and cannabis indica are part of the nettle family and have been cultivated as far back as the 3rd millennium BC. Cannabis sativa and indica are grown for different purposes such as recreational use and medical reasons. Cannabis can come in form of marijuana, hashish and hash oil, and they all contain the substance delta-9-THC. This is the substance that causes one to get ‘high’ or feel ‘stoned’. The most common form of cannabis is marijuana which is a mixture of dried leaves and flowers usually smoked with tobacco as a ‘joint’, making it the least concentrated.

Further research has proven cannabis as a harmless drug, as research shows there is no such thing as an over dose of marijuana. The only way to have a toxic amount of delta-9-THC is by smoking up to 15000 ‘joints’ in 20 minutes. On the other hand research performed by the NHS show legal recreational drugs such as alcohol, are more damaging to the human body than that of marijuana. Any alcohol severing over 400mg can result in severe breathing complications, coma and even death. This proves marijuana as a safer recreational drug than alcohol.

Cannabis is not an addictive drug if smoked raw, on the hand; alcohol and tobacco have been proven addictive. Many people suffer from alcohol abuse

according to the NIAAA, as most alcoholics in withdrawal are most likely to suffer from depression, insomnia, nausea, fever and sometimes seizures. However the research published by USC and SUNY Albany in 2005 has supported that occasional and regular marijuana users have less levels of depressive indications.

Who's at fault? Drake or Hov?



Drake has been a musical sensation on the chart since the time of 'best I ever had'. 2013 seemed to be the year he made most waves, however it seems like his fame is getting a little to his head, after making commentaries towards the hip hop artist Jay z. 






Drake said "it’s like Hov can’t drop bars these days without at least four art references,” Drake says in the rolling stone interview. ”I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole Rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny.” 





Its sad to see this, as everyone is aware they have a good business relationship,

however this did not stop Drake from making sly remarks towards the father of Hip Hop.








Trying to play it off like nothing ever happened.

Yankee Saloon







I found it quite hard settling in my new school, knowing that there was no hair saloon in sight and I'm really keen on how my hair looks. 


I asked a few girls on campus where they get there hair done, and they all recommended Yankee as the place to go. 


I personally find it hard changing hair dressers, as I never feel anyone can do my hair to my satisfaction. However I was proven wrong. 


Girls Yankee is the place to go. The hairdressers are extremely accommodating, entertaining and know how to make a girl look like a princess. 


It's a small cosy saloon in Milton kenyes opposite a big tesco. 


I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Simi




A new female artist is climbing up the ladder in Nigeria, as she's making waves with her Mavins Room cover. She's a talented young lady who stoop up to another Nigerian artist elDee's challenge on twitter.

elDlee claims that no can match the the talented R&B singer Ojay.

Simi decided that she she should go head to head with Ojay Drakes "Marvin Room".

I think she did a fantastic job with her own version and its something everyone should listen to.

Her subtle yet seductive voice adds a great blend to the beat. In the short time given she deserves a round of applause.








This is the link of the song:

Healthy Eating


Eating healthy, stable diet is a vital part of upholding good health, and will make you feel good. It doesn't have to be challenging either.


Eat the right amount of calories for how active you are, so 
that you equalize the energy you consume with the energy you use. If you consume or drink too much, you’ll definitely put on weight. If you eat and drink too little, you’ll lose weight. The average man needs around 2,500 calories a day (10,500 kilojoules). The average woman needs 2,000 calories (8,400 kilojoules). Most adults are eating more calories than they need, and should eat fewer calories.




Eat a wide range of foods to ensure that you’re getting a balanced diet and that your body is receiving all the nutrients it needs.




Boko Haram

Boko Haram was originated as a native group, revolving itself into 
a Jihadist group in 2009. It suggests that communication with the 
Western World is prohibited, and also supports opposition to the 
Muslim founding and the administration of Nigeria.

Members of the unit do not interact with the Muslim population 
and have carried out assassinations in the past of anyone who 
criticises it, including Muslim clerics.

2009, BBC interviewed Mohammed Yusuf, then leader of the 
group, stated his belief that the fact of a globular Earth is contrary 
to Islamic teaching and should be rejected, along with Darwinian 
evolution and the fact of rain creating from water evaporated by 
the sun. Before his death, Yusuf reiterated the group's 
dispassionate of changing the existing schooling system and 
rejecting democracy.  Nigerian academic Hussain Zakaria told 
BBC News that the contentious cleric had a graduate education, 
spoke proficient English, lived a extravagant life and drove a 
Mercedes Benz.

In the wake of the 2009 crackdown on its members and its 
following re-emergence, the growing frequency and 

environmental 
range of attacks attributed to Boko Haram have led some political 
and religious leaders in the north to the conclusion that the group 
has now expanded beyond its original religious composition to 
include not only Islamic militants, but criminal elements and 
disgruntled politicians as well. For instance Borno State Governor 
Kashim Shettima said of Boko Haram: “[they have] become a 
franchise that anyone can buy into. It's something like a Bermuda 
Triangle.” The group has also forcibly converted non-Muslims to 
Islam
