Cannabis Legalization and its Therapeutic Benefits Introduction After alcohol, marijuana is the second most commonly used drug in the United States. Marijuana use is more common among adolescents and young adults. Despite being outlawed in many states in the U.S., marijuana has remained one of the most preferred drugs by the people of the United States. Since 2007, there has been a rise in the general use of marijuana by the population. There are, however, no clear explanations for this increase in the use of marijuana. However, some of the factors that could have contributed to its increase in use include the changing perception of the public on marijuana, the adjustment of prices in the illicit market, making it more affordable, and the proliferation of medical cannabis laws. Although marijuana has many medical benefits, the primary use of the drug in the U.S. is for recreational purposes. With the rapidly rising use of marijuana by American citizens, there has been a big increase in the debate on the legalization of marijuana in recent years. More than two-thirds of the states…
Clinical Simulation Prep work Myocardial Infarction What is a coronary artery? As the heart muscle also requires its own oxygen-rich blood supply to operate, the coronary arteries are designed for this task. Near the point where the left ventricle and the aorta intersect, the two critical coronary arteries separate from the aorta. After the arteries branch off, the right coronary artery provides blood supply to the right side of the heart, which is smaller as it supplies only the lungs with blood. While the left coronary artery supplies the left side of the heart with blood, which is more muscular and more massive as it provides the whole body with blood. Describe coronary artery disease in your own words. Also referred to as atherosclerotic heart infection or coronary, coronary artery disease is a severe illness induced by plaque buildup in one’s arteries, which are responsible for supplying the heart muscles with oxygen-rich blood. The arteries are supposed to be elastic and smooth, but they become narrow and stiff when the inner walls start to build up a plaque, and…

The response of “Reply to the US Government.” I think that Chief Seattle appears trustworthy in his speech because he confesses that the God of the white man is powerful, and their God has forsaken them. Furthermore, he reiterates that the white men are many in numbers compared to them. That is why chief Seattle replies to the letter by saying that let them be given ample time to ponder over the matter of selling their land to the US government. Furthermore, Chief Seattle says that their young men paint their faces black because they have become angry and impulsive due to the misfortunes that befall their tribe. Moreover, when the young men paint their faces black, it signifies that their hearts have become black with rage, and now they have turned to be relentless. Furthermore, Chief Seattle declares a condition that in case they agree to the demands of the US government, they should be allowed to visit the tombs of their ancestors, friends and children. This is because the dead are not powerless; therefore, the spirits of their…
Was Industrialism Good or Bad? Industrialism, as it is drawn from the word industrialization, is a term defined as the process of progressive transformation in which a society converts its economic and social perspectives/productions from primarily agrarian to one based on manufacturing processes of its goods. It is a systematic change that basically aims to reshape the productive forces of a particular country. The process of industrialization involves an explicate re-organizing of the economy for the reasons to advance and boost manufacturing. Industrialization is characterized by a more efficient division of labor, economic growth, and the use of technological innovation to help curb and provide solutions to problems as opposed to dependency on conditions outside human control (Schwab, 2017). This industrialization is dated to have begun during the 18th and the 19th centuries in Europe and North America, through what was known as the Industrial Revolution. The industrialization, later on, spread and developed to other countries all over the world. The primary catalyst for industrialization is argued to be the advancements in technological components; that includes the reliance on the…
News Coverage The heated and stiff primary of The New Hampshire election came to an end this week after Bernie Sanders was declared the leader with twenty-six percent of the vote, and 94 percent reporting from the precincts. One of the core observations that I can derive from this primary is that Sanders ‘ predicted victory tonight comes just over a week after the Iowa caucuses were thrown into chaos by a breakdown in voting-counting processes by the state party (semeraro, 2020). The findings were clear this time around–and Sanders supporters were free to celebrate without reservation at its Manchester office. Sanders dominated the 2016 election here by a somewhat more significant margin but confronted a much broader and more diverse electorate in 2020. As presidential elections are just around the corner, the aspiring candidates are taking different ways of getting their way to the white house. One of them is multibillionaire Michael Bloomberg, who is taking the lead from the popular strategies Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders built in the past, he is relying on the power of social media in an…
