Pages : 130
Book Description
Do we have the ability to enjoy something without it weaving its way into everything we think about and do? That's the one thing I wanted to accomplish. The ability to smoke to enjoy instead of smoking to replace, avoid, or entertain myself. Do you smoke weed so much, you feel like you lack control? Does your habit make you miss out on opportunities to be your best self? For many cannabis lovers, smoking is a way to escape, avoid emotions, or be entertained. Most people don't question why they smoke, or whether it's good for them. If left unchecked, a smoking habit can ravage your health, career, and/or personal life. With cannabis being legalized and normalized throughout our world, the drug is widely available and easier to use now more than ever. Entrepreneur and former athlete Tarris Batiste cautions people, "Smoke it--but don't let it smoke you." After his football career ended abruptly, he switched directions. Traveling, researching, and becoming "the clever chief," Tarris explored future conversation around cannabis, and shares his story of how smoking affected his life, starting at a young age. In this book you'll discover: - How your triggers, patterns, motivations, and weaknesses drive you to smoke--and how to gain awareness and become an expert on yourself. - How cannabis impacts brain function and development, the pros and cons of legalization, and why future generations are more susceptible to smoking it. - How society's perception of cannabis has changed over time, with cannabis once being negatively associated with minorities--and now being seen as "acceptable" - Tips for pruning your "mental garden," so you can take control of your day and decide what to do--rather than simply reaching for a joint. This book gives you the tools and motivation to take control of your smoking habit. Learn the personal growth steps Tarris used to conquer his own habit. Use them to create balance, enjoy life, and stop letting feeling you from weed control you.

Tree of Smoke
Author: Denis Johnson
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780374279127
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
Once upon a time there was a war . . . and a young American who thought of himself as the Quiet American and the Ugly American, and who wished to be neither, who wanted instead to be the Wise American, or the Good American, but who eventually came to witness himself as the Real American and finally as simply the Fucking American. That’s me. This is the story of Skip Sands—spy-in-training, engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong—and the disasters that befall him thanks to his famous uncle, a war hero known in intelligence circles simply as the Colonel. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert into a war in which the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, and its gritty, sympathetic portraits of men and women desperate for an end to their loneliness, whether in sex or death or by the grace of God, this is a story like nothing in our literature. Tree of Smoke is Denis Johnson’s first full-length novel in nine years, and his most gripping, beautiful, and powerful work to date. Tree of Smoke is the 2007 National Book Award Winner for Fiction.

Smokescreen
Author: Kevin A. Sabet
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1948677881
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
From the leading authority on marijuana—a man who has served as White House advisor on drugs to three different administrations and who NBC News once called “the prodigy of drug politics"—comes the remarkable and shocking exposé about how 21st century pot, today’s new and highly potent form of the drug, is on the rise, spreading rapidly across America by an industry intent on putting rising profits over public health. Smokescreen: What the Marijuana Industry Doesn't Want You to Know examines the inside story behind the headlines, containing accounts from Sabet’s time in the Obama administration to stunning revelations from whistleblowers speaking out for the first time. What it finds is how the marijuana industry is running rampant without proper oversight, leaving Americans’ health seriously at risk. Included are interviews with industry insiders who reveal the hidden dangers of a product they had once worshipped. Also contained in these pages are insights from a major underground-market dealer who admits that legalization is hastening the growth of the illicit drug trade. And more to the heart of the issue are the tragic stories of those who have suffered and died as a result of marijuana use, and in many cases, as a result of its mischaracterization. Readers will learn how power brokers worked behind the scenes to market marijuana as a miracle plant in order to help it gain widespread acceptance and to set the stage for the lucrative expansion of recreational pot. The author of this compelling first-person narrative leading the national fight against the legalization of cannabis through his nonprofit, Smart Approaches to Marijuana (aka SAM) is Kevin Sabet. As a policy advisor to everyone from county health commissioners to Pope Francis, and a frequent public speaker on television, radio and through other media outlets, his analysis is consistently relied upon by those who recognize what’s at stake as marijuana lobbyists downplay the risks of massive commercialization. A book several years in the making, filled with vivid characters and informed by hundreds of interviews and scores of confidential documents, Sabet's Smokescreen lays bare the unvarnished truth about marijuana in America.

Called to Reach
Author: William Yount
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 143366948X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
What’s a cross-cultural discipler? It’s someone who crosses distinct cultural barriers—whether at home or abroad—to share the gospel and develop other effective Christian disciples. Think of the apostle Paul who was born into a Jewish heritage but preached in Greece and Rome among other places, or modern day missionaries, both short-term and long-term, who bravely go where God sends them despite the challenges of language and lifestyle differences when they get there. Called to Reach is a much-needed book of encouragement and training for cross-cultural disciplers new and old. Based on the authors’ dynamic experiences, it defines seven characteristics that best enhance the effectiveness of disciplers in overcoming cultural barriers and emphasizes the importance of personally growing in spiritual maturity with every outreach opportunity. Throughout, Jesus is presented as the model cross-cultural discipler, for He left the culture of Heaven to disciple us in our earthly culture.
