This is a subject of great import and very close to my heart. As my highest value is personal freedom, I continue to learn important lessons about the dangers of attachment. When I use the word “Attachment”, the context is the following: You are “attached” to any thing, person, emotion, circumstance, outcome, opinion, event, etc., that you think you need, can’t succeed without, can’t do without, can’t be happy without, can’t live without and simply must have. You consider the object of your attachment essential to your life in some way or another.
Attachment is an emotional state. It is a chosen state. It is not objective by subjective. It is based on beliefs, mysticism, perceptions, interpretations, fear, insecurity, hopes, and dreams. It often has to do with pride, a sense of scarcity, a poor self-image, desperation and a victim mentality. Any thing, person or event that you are attached to, controls you. And so there are some unscrupulous people out there who would give you a lot of false evidence to make you believe that you need what they have or control. This gives them control over you. The witch doctors, manipulators, politicians and collectivists out there have a field day with attachment.
How do you know what controls your life and choices? Whatever you are attached to, controls you. How do you know what you are attached to? Ask yourself a simple question: “What and whom do I believe I need?” The problem with attachment, to begin with, is that it is usually emotional and illogical. And it’s usually unnecessary! Your perception is your reality; however, it is not necessarily objectively true. Whatever you are attached to is your prison, your jailor, your torturer and your boss. They convince you that you’re crippled and then they sell you crutches. When you say, “I need”, you are admitting attachment, hence weakness. When you say, “I must have”, or “I can’t”, someone or something is controlling you, just like a nicotine addict that is controlled by his disgusting addiction to cigarettes. The person who controls his nicotine is his dealer and he is the junkie. Your attachment is your pimp. Others would use false guilt, shame, altruism and lies to shackle us in their putrid prisons.
You were born naked and alone and that’s how you will die. Get used to it. We go through life trading our inheritance for a bowl of soup, selling our opportunities for the acceptance and false smiles of evil mystics, buying things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people who don’t care. We compromise our values and become sycophants because we believe we “Need a job”. We trade time with our children for time with people we don’t like, because we “Need the money”. We do what our masters program us to do. We drink our Kool Aid and obey. We are slaves to our attachments. We live lives of mediocre desperation, fear and frustration because of these meaningless, illogical attachments.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Cults, group dynamics, brainwashing, politics and mystics get rich and powerful because we refuse to question, stand up, oppose, speak up and disobey. You are not responsible for or to other people. You can break free from attachments. Think about this simple article – It could change your life.
That is why my business is based on Joint Ventures; I am do not have to depend on any one person, which means I can walk away from any business relationship at any time. Nobody can control or manipulate me. I have minimal overhead, no leases, no employees, no debt, and no geographical or business boundaries.

So I don’t have to compromise, kow-tow or roll over for anyone. When someone tries to control of manipulate me, I can walk away from the relationship if I wish, with relatively little financial consequence.

That is my business freedom: no attachments. Money buys choice, time, freedom, dignity and personal growth.

not like a black and mild but like one of those big cigars from the cigar shop. what does it compare to. i’ve smoked weed, clove cigarettes, bidis, hav a tampas, and black n milds, do those big cigars compare to any of those things
True. Cigars are not meant to be smoked but puffed. The cigar shop cigars are usually handcrafted pieces meant to be seasoned properly in a humidor for future enjoyment. Cigar afficianados would say that you taste the smoke but not inhaling it. Main reason is by the time you finished smoking an entire cigar your lungs would hurt very badly or you would be very sick. I enjoy a nice cigar every once in a while and inhale occasionally but its just not feasible or advisable to suck one of the bad boys down. Simply put, it hurts.
LETS TALK ABOUT CLOVES MORE RANTS FROM CRAZY PEOPLE IN A VAN
If you have had a knee jerk reaction in giving up on smoking with the knowledge that they you were getting undeniably addicted to their weakness, there is a very high probability of a most certain relapse – with a vengeance.
Here we talk about some tips and on how one can de-addict themselves from the clutches of this nicotine killer addiction that claims the highest mortality rate. For a smoker, getting to the cause of the addiction is the root to drawing up a plan to counter the addiction and ultimately withdraw from this addiction.
If you are gasping for breath after walking a few steps, coughing and yet you contain a desperate urge to puff away on a nicotine stick, you are a confirmed nicotine addict. Merely fielding ignorance to the problem is the first step in letting grow into a disease, uncontrollable by any miracle or medicine. If you are suffering from a severe sore throat and you are incessantly coughing that renders you sleepless and you swear in the morning that you would completely abstain from smoking, there is a very high possibility of you relapsing in due course again.
One should mentally acknowledge and admit the fact that they are truly addicted and accept their weakness for the nicotine. Acceptance is the first step to de-addiction. Before a smoker can actually admit to his weakness, there are number of contradictory thoughts that cross one’s mind. It could be that there are other smokers do not cough or contact sore throats as much. Well, your answer to that would be that not everybody get cancer, but those who have to get it, will. It better not be you.
Once the first step of admission is done, the road to de-addiction gets tougher. The unnecessary arguments of continuance Vs. discontinuance ought to be first banished from thoughts. Figure out the problem, not sustain it. All said and done, this is perhaps one of the most challenging things in the world, yet possible. One might add “easier said, than done”. Absolutely no doubt about that. It is far more easier to picture oneself smoke a Marlboro than to digest a cough syrup with an overdose of antibiotics.
On the road to recovery, your body reacts as it naturally should. There is a sense of deprivation. You body acclimatized to the nicotine feed morning, noon and night finds a sudden down surge in the chemical reactions it is normally accustomed to. For the first few days, you would find yourself in frayed tempers, edgy, always on a high note, annoyed at the slightest provocation. Fear not, these are only wearing away symptoms, the wearing away of the hold of nicotine in the body, it’s a normal body reaction to a shortcoming, in good measure.
Generally on quitting cigarettes, one’s appetite increases substantially. Vitamin E is medically proven to be a great anti oxidant. This in lay mans language means it will prevent blood cells from reducing the oxygen content in blood thereby keeping you alert and relaxed, even as you satiate your craving for cigarettes through a larger intake of food.
De-addiction is a matter of mind over matter, the matter being the nicotine substance. Where there is a will there are two ways, one way to stop smoking, the second to abstain forever from it. It’s a new beginning, a fresh lease on life.
Does putting a filter tip in a joint stop you from getting high?
The kind of filter tip you put in a hand-rolled cigarette. I want to know if I can use one in a joint or do I have to roll up some card to make a roach.
Thanks!
You’ll get high but it will filter some of the THC. It is a more mellow high!

More than one billion people all over the world enjoy cigarette smoking. It has been a deliberate attempt to reduce the smoking population by various governments and non governmental organization as it was reported that some of the constituents of cigarette are harmful to human bodies.
As the number of people have smoking habits is always on rise, huge money was spent by manufacturers in advertising their products. Many cigarette smoking companies started advertisement on radio and television for promoting their cigarette brands during early 60s and 70s. First time in United States of America, Public Health Cigarette Smoking act came into existence On Jan 2, 1971. It was passed by then president Richard Nixon on April 1, 1970. The law provides a total ban on cigarette advertisement on television. Later it was reported that the law had not been able to reduce the smokers. It was the first attempt to reduce the number of cigarette smokers in the country.
The government of various countries always tried to reduce the number of cigarette smokers in their country. In all the fifty states of United States of America, the sale of cigarette to children below 18 years of age was prohibited by law since 1998. Later in some of the states in US, the minimum purchase age for any cheap cigarettes or other tobacco products was raised to 19 years and in the coming years other states can make similar law, however in a couple of states, parents or any other guardian can provide cigarette to the children below 18 years of age.
Although majority of the countries have a minimum legally allowed purchasing age of 18 years, there are a few countries which do not have any legal minimum age for purchasing. A few countries do allow smoking to the children above 16 years of age. Some high smoking countries such as Turkey and Japan also have 18 and 20 years minimum legal age for purchasing cheap cigarettes. In some provinces of Canada, there is a minimum legal age requirement of 19 years and few others including Quebec and Alberta have a legal age of 18 years. The legal age as mentioned above is for purchasing a cigarette, however in Alberta province of Canada, possessing cigarette or tobacco is also punishable by law.
Similarly in United Kingdom, cigarette can legally be sold to a child above 16 years of age; however a child can buy or attempt to buy cigarette even if he is below 16 years of age and according to the prevailing law of the land, it is not illegal. The law is likely to be modified in the coming years and government has a plan to rise the minimum legal age to 18.
These were the law of some countries for curbing the cigarette smoking in those countries; however these laws have minimal effect on reducing the number of cigarette smokers. In many countries the vending machines are placed at several common places and therefore it is hard to monitor the sale of the cigarette through these machines. So, although all countries have taken steps to reduce the child smokers, these are rarely effective.

Pot is not an addictive drug like heroin or cigarettes as there is no physical craving that occurs when you do not take the drugs. Pot does not affect the receptors in your brain like these drugs and the effects are also not as vivid as the hard drugs making it less of an issue to many people to start smoking. The primary addiction to weed is a psychological addiction, the memory of the highs you once felt smoking pot always come back and make you want to try to reach that feeling again even if it takes you more and more pot to do this as you become more resistant to its effects. The smoking goes from a pleasurable action to a habit with little real benefit just a perceived one. To compound this many pot smokers have friends who also smoke and it becomes a social thing making it more ingrained.
So this being said it is possible to quit smoking weed without suffering cravings or relapses and you are not fighting with a chemical need but a psychological need which can be overcome with willpower. While this may sound easy it can of course be a lot harder in practice as the habit can run very deep especially for those who have smoked for years. Quitting can be accompanied by anxiety and depression as you learn to live life without the constant smoking which can seem soothing and comforting but only because it was a part of your routine. The trick for some people is to find something to replace this addiction, obviously not another addiction but something creative and fulfilling. Something that makes you happy without an extreme high you may try to latch onto as an alternative.
Marijuana while only a “soft drug” compared to the likes of cocaine, heroin and others can still be a very addictive and destructive drug. Many people who long to quit smoking pot find their lives revolve around marijuana and it becomes a habit that fills any gap in their lives. It can become such an integral part of their lives that they feel like they are living in a haze most of the time and are missing out on some very important parts of life. The first thing to know when learning how to quit smoking weed is that the drug is not chemically addictive!
Bottom line is you DO NOT need weed! You know it and your family knows it. It is time to do something about it…
In most major cities in the world, there is an active and highly profitable shadow economy in phony consumer goods that generates (in some estimates) upwards of 500 billion dollars a year. If you have ever been down to “Counterfeit Alley” in midtown Manhattan, you have seen one of the biggest counterfeit marketplaces in the world. While many of us spend our waking hours lusting after the latest fashion designs from our favorite designers, there are a lot of people out there who purchase knock-off or phony items without fully appreciating the consequences.
I recently read a book called “Knockoff”, written by a fellow named Tim Phillips. It was an insightful read, with a number of interesting and often disturbing ideas presented. I was particularly interested in the section he devoted to the trade in phony luxury items such as designer handbags. These days, it seems I can’t go anywhere without seeing somebody carrying a fake Prada or Gucci purse. Personally, I have always resisted the urge to purchase a counterfeit purse. I have avoided the temptation mainly because such an action only undermines an industry I have grown to love. When one considers the price of some of the higher-end purses, it should come as no surprise that some people purchase fakes.
What will surprise you is the discovery that their money is supporting future terrorist attacks in America and abroad. This book has confirmed my belief in supporting legitimate companies. Have you ever stopped to consider where the money you spend on fake consumer products ends up? This book will provide you with some frightening insights. The “black market” in counterfeit consumer goods provides incredible resources for criminal organizations, and these organizations certainly do not have the public interest at heart.
One of the most disturbing ideas in the book was the suggestion that terrorist organizations, working with organized crime groups, use the profits gained from these illegal sales to support future attacks. I could not sleep at night if I thought I was supporting terrorist campaigns to maim and kill innocent civilians in America, or anywhere else for that matter. I am a firm believer in being a conscientious shopper, and supporting companies that are trying to make the world a better place. I will gladly pay three times the price of a phony purse, to ensure that my money is not supporting terrorism. Check out “Knockoff” when you have a chance. It is a real eye-opener.

Can a child’s diet be one of the main causes of ADHD? Is sugar the culprit? These are some of the questions that parents ask about the causes of ADHD. The genetic link though, seems to be one of the main causes but this will not account for many cases. Certainly, the environment, diet, lead poisoning and maybe a low weight at birth all seem to be contributory factors.
The NIMH (National Institute for Mental Health) has done some research and this has shown that ADHD children seem to have a thinner brain tissue but this later developed normally. Interestingly enough, when it did so, the ADHD symptoms seemed to be less dominant. That area of the brain , by the way, is associated with our attention spans and levels of concentration. These, of course are some of the main symptoms of ADHD, inattentiveness and lack of concentration. This defect in the child’s brain development would seem to be one of the main causes of ADHD.
We also know from some research that events and lifestyle in pregnancy may well lead to a higher incidence of ADHD in the child although there is no firm evidence for this. The culprits to avoid during pregnancy are alcohol, cigarette smoking and lead. People who live in old buildings are exposed to lead which is contained in the pipes and even in the old paint on the walls. Our environment could therefore be one of the causes of ADHD.
There are also theories about a genetic connection and there seems to be fairly conclusive evidence now that the genetic link is decisive although it will not be the major cause. Certainly, there is loads of evidence to show that ADHD runs in families and many parents realize that they themselves have ADHD when their children are diagnosed. The genetic link is now accepted as one of the main causes of ADHD.
Treatment for ADHD can vary from stimulant medications which are basically made up of amphetamines. I was shocked to see that Adderall, one of the most popular drugs for ADHD is actually approved for children of three and upwards. All the other meds like Ritalin, Strattera and Vyvanse are approved for pediatric use from the age of six. Imagine giving an amphetamine to a child of three ! This is where parents begin to get alarmed as they know that these stimulants, while reducing symptoms of ADHD, are associated with heart problems, loss of appetite and a possible risk of addiction and drug abuse.
There are ADHD homeopathic remedies which have no side effects or long term risks and cost a lot less. Unfortunately, there is not much information about these remedies because of the powerful lobbies associated with the drug companies. You could find out some more information about one of America’s most reputable companies which is actually under FDA supervision and which offer a one year guarantee. Whatever the main causes of ADHD, choosing the right treatment for your child is crucial.
