Why Weeds Are Bad

Vaping: “inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device.” In recent years, many people, even teens, have started using vapes. The numbers of people vaping have skyrocketed since 2011. Many people argue against the fact that vaping is bad, but knowing all of the factors to it may help in saving one’s life. Vaping is an important issue to discuss because day by day, more people are becoming a part of this "trend," and it may restrain one's health causing a negative outcome in their future. Vaping is bad because it has negative effects on one's body. Another reason it is bad is because many teens have started to do it, and they are numb to the consequences that may come. Although vaping is predicted as being healthier than cigarettes, research shows

Noxious weeds can be very harmful to all aspect of rangeland. They can outcompete native grasses and forbs causing a loss of forage to livestock and wildlife. A large number of noxious weeds have been purposely introduced to the United States for purposes such as food, forage, fiber and decorative ground cover. Programs have been created to help with the invasion of weeds. It’s taken lots of time and resources to get programs started up to be able to combat the effect of noxious weeds.

THC disrupts the nerve cells in the part of the brain where memories are formed. This makes it hard for the user to recall recent events (such as what happened a few minutes ago), and so it is hard to learn while high. A working short-term memory is required for learning and performing tasks that call for more than one or two steps. Some studies show that when people have smoked large amounts of marijuana for many years, the drug takes its toll on mental functions. Among a group of long-time heavy marijuana users in Costa Rica, researchers found that the people had great trouble when asked to recall a short list of words (a standard test of memory). People in that study group also found it very hard to focus their attention on the tests

Although it is a highly common defense that marijuana is not addictive, it in fact is. Many regular smokers find themselves ridden with very similar withdrawal symptoms of a tobacco addict (Marijuana Addiction Symptoms and Effects). Around 9% of people who use find themselves dependent on marijuana (Is Marijuana Addictive?). That may not seem like much, but that is almost 1 in every 10 people hooked on a drug that is supposedly “non-addictive.” Legalizing a drug that causes disorientation, paranoia, depression, anxiety, dizziness, and a slowed reaction time is not safe, not to mention the fact that it is a gateway drug, often leading users to use even more damaging and dangerous drugs (Is Marijuana Addictive?). With the legalization of a drug like marijuana comes increased use and abuse of the drug. Marijuana is unsafe medically for the individual using and for the people around them when the user is under the influence, it will cost the government money and time and it will cost employers tons. Legalizing marijuana would be a huge mistake by our country.

There are not many workers to cut acres full weeds to make the farm look organized. So to fix the solution, farmers use chemicals to kill the weeds. This solution makes it easier for the farmers to use because the process is fast. Another problem is that there are pest such as rats, birds, and other creatures that ruins farmers product. Pest tends to enter the farm and eat the products and will come back for more. Pest can also enter the farm and ruin the farm. Killing or removing the pest is the only way to fix the solution. But removing one by one is difficult. Using chemical to remove all the pest is the best way. Same method goes to removing all the insects and bugs. Insects and bugs are feeding on vegetables and fruits. Insect and bugs can ruin vegetable and fruits because when they are feeding on the product they tend to ruin the quality of the product. No one is going to buy a lettuce that is eaten by insects or fruits that has black spots. This causes the increases of all the products from being

I received two letters on July 13, 2017 and July 28, 2017 regarding a fine of $50.00 for the violation of Maintenance: Excessive Weeds. I want to sincerely apologize for this violation, but I was on vacation for the past couple of weeks and I was not informed about this issue. Can you please void this fine? I have corrected my violation by clearing up my front yard as soon as I got back from vacation. You may stop by and check if you have any concerns.

Increasingly, more and more evidence shows how cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis is making a positive impact in treating children with rare diseases, particularly seizure conditions. The story of Jayden David, first shown on the Sanjay Gupta’s documentary Weed Wars, is only one of many that deserves to be told, as it highlights just how CBD oil is making a difference in the lives of families that dared to try their luck with an alternative form of treatment. CBD hemp oil, derived from the cannabis plant industrial hemp has been shown to alleviate a myriad of health conditions. Research and personal stories are expanding the dialogue on just how medical cannabis could be beneficial in treating conditions such as Dravet syndrome that plagues Jayden. CBD oil had made an incredible impact in Jayden’s life by reducing the frequency of his seizures and improving his quality of life.

When trying to co-exist with the environment there contain many challenges. And sometimes as an effect of these challenges humans may harm the environment. Humanity can harm the environment in many ways. For example, dumping trash in landfills, cutting down trees, burning fossil fuels for energy, and clearing out an area for new housing and businesses. Out of the many ways that people can harm the environment, introducing a non-native species into new surroundings harms the environment the most.

Dope, Mary Jane, Pot, Grass, Weed, Blunt, Joint, and Nuggets are only a few of the countless names for marijuana, a narcotic drug used for recreational and sometimes medicinal uses across the world. Recently growing enough popularity among younger generations due to the glamorization of media, and the overwhelming financial gains through taxes and fees seen in Colorado, have caused Ohio legislators and citizens to consider the idea of legalizing marijuana for both recreational and medicinal marijuana use. Marijuana is a toxic gateway drug that impairs the judgement of its users and should not be legalized for recreational and medicinal purposes aside from the numerous ‘benefits’ it will bring to Ohio because of the consequences will be far greater.

We as humans have short life's… Too short we need to have something to go to yet the government stops that. Weed kills no one. But the dealers who deal them do. If the government was smart they would sell that so the people who are go out of business. Alcohol kills thousands. Taking lives killing dads mothers even daughters sons as well as grandfathers and grandmothers. Alcohol has no target it goes to take every life it can. Alcohol will leave you brain dead for over seven hours in an hour it could take many lives. The government lets this happen showing commercials of how good it is. Although it's not true it tempts us to do it and what do we pay a life or 20.

agriculture led to a rise in “superweeds.” Superweeds are weeds, which have grown resistant to

In in an interview done by Live Science Anne Yonkers said "We should be using the precautionary principle with GMOs, and assume that GMOs have to be demonstrated to be good rather than assume that they are good.” (Yonkers 5), modified crops accelerated the evolution in weeds at an incredible rate making them develop resistance faster. A common weed called Palmer that grows near soybeans evolved to be resistance to glyphosate an active ingredient in many weed killers such as Roundup. Do to how resistance this strain is it has spread to more than seventy-six countries and that is just the palmer weed; twenty-four other glyphosate resistant weeds have appeared in eight-teen different countries as well. Some farmers lose more than half their yield and while forcing others to go bankrupt cause of the massive money loss. With malnutrition being a very real problem can modified food be a possible solution?

The biggest problem people have with organic farming is weed control. You canít use chemicals, so it has do be done mechanically. Farmers use different tactics to try and control weeds, like delaying planting until the ground is warmer and using the crop rotations helps out tremendously. One tool that farmers can use is a flamer to get rid of weeds. According to Bowman, ìFlames from LP-gas burners kill plants by rupturing cell walls, not burning plant tissue. Flaming is most effective on broadleaf weeds as small seedlings.î (1997)

The “busts” occur because, by forcing a plant to have the highest yield it cause most of the energy to go into growing and not natural defense. To counteract the lower defenses, farmers heavily utilize pesticides. The Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources dubs heavy pesticide use as the “kill ‘em dead” approach which does kill non resistant pests however, pesticide usage selects the resistant strains (Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources). By using pesticides a feedback loop comes to fruition as pesticides increase resistance among pests while farmers find different pesticides in the hopes of staying one foot ahead. Trap cropping has been shown as a solution to the pesticide usage problem. While working towards a PhD in horticulture Jude Boucher, from the Tolland County Extension Office at the University of Connecticut, he experimented with trap cropping (SARE). Boucher set up a system where hot cherry pepper plants were planted around a crop of sweet bell peppers creating a “poisoned fence” protecting the bell pepper crop. By using trap cropping Boucher could use small and well-timed applications of pesticides resulting in a 90% decrease in pesticide use (SARE). Other farmers have also used trap cropping and have found an 18% increase in vine crop yields, a 96% decrease in pesticide use,

To prevent resistance to herbicide, farmers are required to vary herbicide use and practice crop rotations.
