Do you look old for your age? You can thank your parents for that. According to a new study, researchers say that genes may be to blame for how young or old you look. All hope is not lost, though. If you happen to be a smelly, wrinkly product of bad genes, an unlikely drug can help improve your skin. Marijuana may just be the key to eternal youthfulness. Don't go buying up all the drugs in town, though, heroin and cocaine have the opposite effect.

Federal government has the power to control all the state local activities including the purely local that can have substantial effect on the interstate commerce. In the case of growing marijuana plant at home for personal consumption being for medical use, the federal government banning that marijuana sounds not right at first glance. The marijuana plants are grown within a state and the grower cultivates the plant for personal use and the situation sounds like no interstate commercial activities are involved or affected.

Currently the use of marijuana, or cannabis, is illegal in the United States under federal law. According to Jeff Darnell, the Stanislaus County deputy district attorney, even the use of medical marijuana is illegal. This is due to the Controlled Substance Act. The Controlled Substance Act regulates the use and distribution of certain substances. Many states have started to ignore this law and legalize the medical use of marijuana. Some have even legalized recreational use. These events raise the question, who should decide on the legality of use of marijuana? Should the federal government, state, or local government hold the power to decide? The states should have the power to

Growing up I had a friend named Todd. He lived down the road from me, about 2 streets down. Todd use to stay at my house three or four nights a week. I never knew why, it didn’t bother me in fact, it was like having another brother. We did everything together, played on the same football team, played video games together, and went on vacationing together. To Todd my parents were his parents, they did everything he wished his parents would do. It wasn’t until high school that I finally asked Todd why he didn’t like staying at home. His response will stick with me forever. He said he didn’t like being at home because his parents were always high and because of this they would never talk to him, cook for him, or spend any amount of time with him.

The Supreme court on Monday declined to hear a lawsuit challenging Colorado’s legalization of recreational marijuana. The two neighboring states Nebraska and Oklahoma used a rare procedure to attack the law asking to allow them to file a lawsuit directly to the Supreme Court. This is allowed by the constitution to hear disputes between states but it is usually disputes about other things such as land or resources. In 2012 the voters of Colorado voted to change the state's constitution to regulate the sales and distributions of it and to allow it for recreational use.

The law allowed patients with specific illnesses to possess a small amount of marijuana (1.25 ounces) for treatment, as long as it was prescribed by a physician. In 2002, the amount of marijuana patients were allowed to possess was increased from 1.25 ounces to 2.5 ounces. Some of the specific illnesses medical marijuana was prescribed for are nausea, vomiting, wasting syndrome or loss of appetite due to AIDS, chemotherapy or radiation treatments for cancer, glaucoma, seizures from a disease such as epilepsy, and muscle spasms from a disease like multiple sclerosis (State of Maine Legislature 2017).

In Denver, many more dogs are going to the emergency room for ingesting cannabis or edibles. Dog owner Kate Pinto came home to find her Great Dane mix drooling uncontrollably and struggling to walk. “It was just so terrifying, infuriating and sad,” Pinto said. “I felt so helpless for not being able to explain to [Tembo] what was happening. I can’t imagine tripping as a dog and not knowing when it would end.”

The demanders in this situation are a very diverse group of people who come from very different backgrounds, but all have one common goal: the decriminalization of marijuana. The demanders, whether they realize it or not, have their roots as a group in those marijuana users who existed during the presidencies that originally criminalized the drug. Those presidents and their administrations created a precedent that marijuana demanders have been fighting against since the problem started with the Nixon administration.
