According to the United Nations, 158.8 million people around the world use marijuana – more than 3.8% of the planet’s population.

Marijuana is the word used to describe the dried flowers, seeds and leaves of the Indian hemp plant. It is usually green, brown or gray in color. On the streets, it is called by many other names, such as: astro, turf, dope, dogga, grass, hemp, Mary Jane, pot and weed.

Hashish is a related form of the drug, made from the resins of the Indian hemp plant. It is tan, brown or black and shaped into balls, sticks or bars. Also called chocolate or hash, it is on average six times stronger than marijuana.

“Cannabis” describes any of the different drugs that come from Indian hemp, including marijuana and hashish. When smoked, both marijuana and hashish give off a distinctive, sweet odor.

Regardless the name, this drug is a hallucinogen – a substance which distorts how the mind perceives the world a person lives in.

The chemical in cannabis that creates this distortion is known as “THC”. The amount of THC found in any given batch of marijuana may vary substantially, but overall, the percentage of THC has increased in recent years. THC levels averaged 1% in 1974 and 4% in 2004. In 2008, levels reached 9.6%.

Marijuana is usually smoked as a cigarette (joint), but may also be smoked in a pipe. Less often, it is mixed with food and eaten or brewed as a tea. Sometimes users open up cigars and remove the tobacco, replacing it with pot – called a “blunt”. When a person smokes a joint, he usually feels its effects within minutes. The immediate sensations – increased heart rate, lessened coordination and balance, and a “dreamy”, unreal state of mind – peak within the first 30 minutes. These short-term effects usually wear off in two to three hours, but they could last longer, depending on how much the user takes, the potency of the THC and the presence of other drugs added into the mix.

As the typical user inhales more smoke and holds it longer than he would with a cigarette, a joint creates a severe impact on one’s lungs. Aside from the discomfort that goes with sore throats and chest colds, it has been found that consuming one joint gives as much exposure to cancer-producing chemicals as smoking five cigarettes.

The mental consequences of marijuana use are equally severe. Marijuana smokers have poorer memories and mental aptitude than do non-users. Physical reactions are followed by depression, sleepiness, personality and mood changes, inability to understand things clearly.

Marijuana itself does not lead to other drugs; people take drugs to get rid of unwanted situations or feelings. The drug masks the problem for the time while the user is high. When the “high” fades, the problem, unwanted condition or situation returns more intensely than before. The user may then turn to stronger drugs since marijuana no longer “works”. The vast majority of cocaine users (99.9%) began by first using a “gateway drug” like marijuana, cigarettes or alcohol.

By giving the truth about drugs anyone can help others to make informed decision to live a drug free life. To get the facts visit www.drugfreeworld.org.

And for the person with a drug problem, there are also real solutions to addiction.  Narconon, a drug rehabilitation program that utilizes the methods of L. Ron Hubbard, has a success rate of more than 75%.  (www.narconon.org)

In his essay “Sifting the Ashes,” the writer Jonathan Franzen has the following to say about the smoking habit he struggles to quit: “[W]hen you’re smoking, you’re acutely present to yourself: you step outside the unconscious forward rush of life.”

Beautiful words, with which many cigar smokers would agree. Perhaps that’s why so many of history’s most famous and best-loved writers are hard to mentally picture without a cigar: Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Collette, George Sand, Karl Marx. Not terrible company, and they’re not alone. Some major contemporary writers are cigar smokers as well.

Paul Auster

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Paul Auster graduated from Columbia, then moved to Paris, France to eke out a living as a French-literature translator. He’s been married to two highly-regarded American writers “Siri Hustvedt (currently) and, before that, Lydia Davis, who is also known for her translation work – and his novels The New York Trilogy and Moon Palace are modern classics. He’s known for using the shape of the detective story to entertain larger questions about the meaning of identity, of language, and of existence. But his biggest fame – and his importance to smokers – came when he wrote and co-directed the movie Smoke, a landmark of American indie cinema set in a Brooklyn cigar shop.

Centered on Auggie Wren, owner of the Brooklyn Cigar Company – a sort of existential Dew Drop Inn where large cross-sections of humanity gather – it ponders the random yet seemingly meaningful connections among various people, a major theme in Auster’s writing (as well as of several other major American art films from the same period – consider Short Cuts and Magnolia). Auster’s selection of a smoke shop as his setting renders the film, which is based on one of his own short stories, especially meaningful for diehard cigar smokers.

Edward Whittemore

Here’s an artist with a colorful life indeed – he went from Yale to the Marines to the CIA, wrote for the Japan Times (it was part of his cover), lived in Crete, and wrote the massive, tripped-out series of literary espionage novels known as the Jerusalem Quartet, a work lauded by Tom Robbins as – like a bowl of hashish pudding – and by Jonathon Carroll as a book that
“makes your soul grow.” (To give you an idea: one of the books is about a 12-year-long game of poker in which the winner becomes owner of the Holy Land. That’s just the plot of one of them.) Yet the Quartet went out of print after only a few years, and Whittemore ended his days in dire poverty and obscurity, working as a photocopier for a law firm.

In 2003, eight years after his death, the Quartet was republished to all-but-universal acclaim; Jim Hougan, writing in Harper’s, called it “one of the last, best arguments against television” and Whittemore – an author of extraordinary talents. His friend Thomas C. Wallace remembers his love of cigars: “We walked the woods and fields of southern Vermont by day, sat in front of the house after dinner on solid green Adirondack chairs, drinks in hand and smoking cigars.” In a similar spirit, lovers of fine cigars should search out his one-of-a-kind novels – after all, premium cigar smokers already know that the most immediately accessible pleasures aren’t always the deepest.

John Grisham

You probably know that John Grisham is an ex-lawyer and the biggest-selling novelist of the 1990s, but you probably don’t know about his charity work, his advocacy on behalf of the wrongly imprisoned, his tireless support of less-commercially-successful writers – or the fact that it’s been said he smokes four cigars a week. In addition to writing the well-loved legal thrillers The Firm and A Time To Kill, among others (as well as such departures as A Painted House), he has done missionary and relief work in Brazil and service on the board of the Innocence Project, which uses DNA testing to exonerate the wrongfully convicted. Perhaps all of this is why he ended up on one of Cigar Aficionado’s lists of the top hundred smokers.

This year, more than 30,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer. Five years from now, less than 60 percent of those diagnosed will still be alive. While these figures seem alarming, it is important to realize that when oral cancer is discovered early, treatment is 90 percent successful.

About Oral Cancer

Oral cancer can develop in any part of the mouth or oropharynx (back of your throat). A majority of oral cancers originate in the tongue and floor of the mouth. Nearly all cancers begin in the flat cells (called squamous cells) that cover the surface of the tongue, mouth and lips.

The most common sites for this cancer, called “Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)” are on the:

  • Lateral border of the tongue and/or lip
  • Floor of the mouth
  • Soft palate (including the tonsillar pillars)
  • Retromolar trigone (small area behind the wisdom teeth)

Importance of Early Detection

Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it is detected early. The problem with oral cancer is that around 70 percent of the time it is not visually noticeable until it has reached an advanced stage. That is why the Vizilite exam was developed.

How Vizilite Works

Vizilite technology helps a dentist to recognize abnormal tissue in the mouth, before it is visible to the naked eye. This simple device scans your oral tissue after it has been treated with a special rinse. Normal, healthy tissue will absorb the light and appear dark. A “Visilite lesion” will appear distinctly white. The Vizilite exam is best performed in low light conditions. Once the Vizilite is activated, the exam is completed in 10 minutes.

The purpose of using Vizilite is to identify tissue changes at their earliest stage. If abnormal tissue has been identified, it is up to your dental professional to decide what the next step is.

Risk factors

Scientists and medical professionals cannot always determine why one person develops oral cancer and another does not. Researchers do know that the disease is not contagious, so you can not “catch” oral cancer from someone else.

Certain lifestyle habits create a higher risk for oral cancer than others:

  • Tobacco Use: Tobacco use accounts for a majority of oral cancers. Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, chewing tobacco and dipping snuff are all related to oral cancer. Heavy smokers who use tobacco for a long period of time are at the greatest risk. Tobacco users who drink heavily are at an even higher risk.
  • Alcohol Use: Individuals who drink alcohol are more likely to develop oral cancer than people who refrain from drinking. The risk increases with the amount of alcohol you consume, and is even higher if you drink and use tobacco together.
  • Sun Exposure: Lip cancer can be caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation. By wearing a brimmed hat and using a lotion or lip balm with sunscreen, you can reduce this risk.
  • Family history of head and neck cancer: If head and neck cancer runs in your family, you are at a higher risk of developing oral cancer, a type of head and neck cancer.

The primary reason for the consistently high death rate of oral cancer is that it tends to be discovered in late-stage development. By having routine dental exams followed by a Vizilite exam, you can reduce your risk for this potentially deadly cancer.

If you would like to learn more about Vizilite screenings and you live in the Denver, Colorado area, please visit cosmetic dentist Dr. Greenhalgh’s website today.

giant cigars

Cigar to smokers is just as golf clubs to golfers?Those fine, dark, leafy odors seem to permeate your every pore whenever you step into a cigar store. Although cigar is not good to health, so many people like cigar, when you smoke you are cool.(hi guys,i bought cheap golf clubs,Titleist AP2 Irons just cost $329.99,you may try.)

Do you know how long is the longest cigar in the world?

Wallace and Margarita Reyes have been rolling cigars for many, many years.  Wallace is actually a Grand Master cigar roller of which only three exist in the world.  He’s been rolling cigars since he was 12 when he was taught by his father.

In 2001 Wallace and Margarita had actually rolled a cigar that was 101 feet long and so he was already prepared for the stresses and strains of what lay ahead.  But first a brief congratulations of his aforementioned past record.

The Guinness World Record for hand-rolling the longest cigar in the world has been held by individuals or teams in only three places: Cuba, Puerto Rico and the United States.  the record Wallace and Margarita aimed to break was held by Cuban Jose Castelar Cairo who in May 2008 in Havana had rolled a cigar 148 ft 11 in long.

To roll the world’s longest cigar Wallace and Margarita had purchased around 140 lb of Ecuadorean tobacco which cost approximately $4,500.  They had pre-rolled the cigar into sections each measuring roughly 10 ft with a 64 ring gauge and this process had taken 104 hours.  The plan was on the day to roll all 18 sections together.

At the appointed hour (which for the Reyes was 4 am on Saturday November 21st 2009) they stepped into a tent which was built to act as a giant humidor and started rolling.

And on it went, minute by minute, hour after hour, the rolling of the longest cigar in the world was a total labor of love for these guys.  they actually ended up with a cigar measuring 196 feet 3 3/8 inches!!!

Congratulations to Wallace and Margarita Reyes for setting a new Guinness World Record!!!  Ybor City is back in the Guinness World Records book!
