Medical Marijuana is a huge hit! The drug is up to 1.7 million dollars in sales. California and Colorado are the two biggest retailers and sales with 92% of the medical marijuana being used their.

Well this goes to show that if the U.S. really wants to do something to boost are economy like none other, they should legalize marijuana. People would go crazy and money would be flowing in now matter what city or state a person can go to.

Hospital Sued For Infants Death

One of the nations best hospitals even made a mistake. A new born baby from a younger couple was getting ill. The doctor suscribed her a specific UV.  One of the assistants messed up and put 60 times the amount of sodium that the infant should have had. Which is enough to kill an adult.

I feel like who ever made up this solution should have at least questioned the doctor or at least somebody on the amount of sodium that was going into this UV solution. I feel like this is a little rediculous that someone working on the force wouldnt reconize such a big quantity of a product that could even harm and adult.

Japan's Crazy Plants

In Japan a few weeks ago there was a huge explosion that happened with hydrogen. Now they have found a way to stop it by pumping nitrogen into the buildings to stop it. There is radioactive water that was leakin into the ocean but workers were able to stop the water from going into the ocean. They first have to get all of the water out before they can actually fix the problem because they have to get at and fix the plumbing and cooling stytems of the reactors.

This is a very dangerous and actually cool type of problem that they have going on there.  I think its cool how they can solve the problem by using other things like they nitrogen to stop the hydrogen from expanding. Its just like chemistry class.

Immitated Drugs

This year there has been a high increase in the amount of people going into the hospital. There were 2700 alone in January while there were only 3200 cases last year alone. People have been smoking fake drugs that have very harmfull poisons in them. Such things called "spice" or "k2".The products are often packaged as incense or bath salts and can be obtained for as little as $10 at many head shops. As more people experiment with them, the results are becoming evident at hospitals: a sharp spike in the number of users who show up with problems ranging from labored breathing and rapid heartbeats to extreme paranoia and delusions. The symptoms can persist for days.

This is by far the stupidest thing people should be doing right now. I mean seriously. Some kids just dont want to actually to the real stuff so they used the legal stuff that has now killed many people and harmed many others. I say its almost safer to legalize and tax drugs because drugs are not very harmfull to people at all. In fact, pot is better for you than cigaretes are and other smoking tabacos. But also people just need to take responsibilty for their actions and grow up and stop doing dumb things like k2 and drugs for that matter.

We all Live and We All Die

The body of a popular American teacher known as "Monty-san" has been found in the tiny coastal Japanese town where he worked, more than three weeks after the country was rocked by a powerful earthquake and devastating tsunami, his sister said Wednesday.
“We’ve got a big hole in our universe here,” said Shelley Fredrickson, a 44-year-old sales representative from Anchorage, Alaska, adding that the family was not accepting the confirmation of the death of her brother, Montgomery Dickson, officially until they travel to Japan, "for our own peace of mind."
The family knows little about the circumstances of Dickson's death. The last one to speak to the 26-year-old known as Monty was Naoko, whom he called after his students had evacuated from the school where he was teaching.

Unfortunetly for this family they had to wait 3 whole weeks to find out what had happened to their loved one. I know i would not want to wait three weeks to try to find a family member that had a tsunami come through. Because the worst part is, they actually didnt know if he was alive or dead. Even though most would assume that he is near death or was dead, this family had to try to keep their hopes up. Until the body was found. I know for a fact i want nothing to do with any missing people or scary events that take place with my family or friends. it would be very tough and hard to go through.

Life Taking Storm

An enormous tree limb that crashed through a Georgia family's bedroom killed a father and the young son he was holding in his arms Tuesday as a fast-moving storm system pounded the South with tornadoes, hail and spectacular lightning. At least eight people were killed around the region, including several who died on roads made treacherous by downed trees and power lines.

Paramedics found the 4-year-old boy, Alix Bonhomme III, wrapped in the arms of his father, Alix Bonhomme Jr., in a sight so wrenching that even grizzled rescuers wept. Bonhomme's fiancee, Marcie Moorer, and the couple's younger son were cowering in another room during the storm and escaped injury

This is quite the story. Because when I was about 10 we had a tree in our front that was struck with lightning and went down through but instead of the tree going through the house it dropped the other way. I cant even imagine what it would of been like for the tree to fall down into our house and killed a couple family members. I had an experiance like this but the outcome was much better than this one.
