Stoners
Process Approach Assignment
English 22
March 10, 2014

Stoners are a mothers worst nightmare. No parent wants to wake up to the smell of marijuana. No parent wants their child smoking those "dutch masters". There are many ways to identify if your child is a stoner. If your child's diet consist majority of cereal and corner market burritos, he may be a stoner. Cereal is the staple of any stoner’s diet. It’s fast, tasty, and kills the cottonmouth. But every once in awhile stoners need protein, which is why God invented hot pockets. When it comes to a lighter, beware. If your kid always has a lighter in their pocket or vehicle, yet they don’t smoke cigarettes or own candles, chances are good your child is a stoner. Of course, your kid could just REALLY be into fireworks, so look for additional identifiers. Listen to the music your child listens too. Take a look through the person’s music collection, and if there is lots of Phish, Grateful Dead, Sublime, 311, etc, then you may have identified your child as a stoner. Another way to identify if your child is a stoner is he brings home an F on his math test, but is a wiz at fractions. They can’t add 2 + 2, or calculate the tip on a dinner bill, but if you ask them what 1/4 plus 1/8 is they all of a sudden become a mathematician. Parents, if your child seems to be fascinated by the number ’420′, you may have a stoner on your hands. Anytime the clock strikes 4:20 p.m., or the number 420 pops up in anyway, it really gets stoners excited. Look for change in your child's patterns of coming and going. If they are staying up much later than you, for no legitimate reason, or if they are coming home late from school or leaving the house without an explanation. Take note on unusual items. Devices like pipes, grinders, and rolling papers are strong indicators of marijuana use. This is about the strongest evidence any parent would need. When confronted, the likely excuse will be "I was just holding it for a friend so

    Drug King has two financial assets, an investment in Series A and Series B preferred stock of TIp-Top that it will transfer to InsureAll. Series A stock is traded publically and has a call option written by InsureAll which allows the repurchase of the stock two years after the transfer date with a fixed exercise date. The Series B preferrd stock, which is not publically traded, will be transferred to InsureAll with a call option attached to the stock allowing DrugKing to repurchase the stock from whomever owns it as long as the purchase is completed within two years of the transfer date and like the Series A preferred stock it has a fixed exercise price.

    The passage “America Needs Its Nerds” by Leonid Fridman compares athletes to nerds and geeks. Fridman made an analysis suggesting that society rewards the athletically apt for their skill while the “intellectually curious” as Fridaman puts it, are put down. Fridman’s passage was fluent and well written because of his range of writing techniques such as logos, tone, and his use of rhetorical questions to finish off the strong passage.…

    Marijuana is one of the most commonly abused drugs in the United States and legalizing Marijuana has been an ongoing controversial debate for decades. Marijuana comes from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa and the main active ingredient is THC. Marijuana is usually smoked as a cigarette (joint), but can also be put in food or brewed as tea. When smoked it has a distinctive smell, which is usually a sweet-and-sour smell. There are 18 of 50 states and DC that have legalized the medicinal use of marijuana. People will argue that marijuana may cause physical damages, have mental effects and more criminals will be on the streets. Although there may me adverse effects that in moderation, the drug is no more harmful than legal drugs, such as tobacco or alcohol. Marijuana has many medical benefits, which outweighs its potential abuse. The government could earn money from taxes on its sale, create jobs and improve our economy. So marijuana should be legalized because the pros outweigh the cons.…

    Drugs have always been a social norm and throughout this essay I intend to look at four texts which portray drug use in different situations with different individuals. The four texts are songs, Deja Vu by Eminem, Chris Dolmeth by Hopsin, Ill Mind of Hopsin 6 by Hopsin and The Girls on Drugs by Wale. I have discovered two distinct connections in these songs, one of the connections is that there are many different reasons as to why people choose to do drugs, and the other connection is the purpose which is that the artists are trying to show us that the outcome of doing drugs will only ever be bad.…

    Issue Connection Paper

    Out of all the things going on in our world today, I find that our human interest naturally draws us automatically toward the unusual or what's not normally excepted, valued, or understood. It's more of how we were taught when we were kids or how we were raised in specific environments that sets us apart from every one, everywhere else. The issues I have connected are: legalizing marijuana, medical heroine, and the widening acceptance of Ritalin. I have looked at each issue individually and also looked at them together in different orders or groups to see what issues led to another more easily or in a more direct fashion. As a whole I feel that mainly they're all connected by trying to help people, either with health problems, addictions, or just to help them feel better. Jenna spoke on the issue of legalizing marijuana, Matt spoke on the subject of medically administering heroine, and Jessica spoke about the widening acceptance of Ritalin.…

    Meth Addicts

    “David Parnell used to drink meth, his drug of choice, dissolved in orange juice as he drove down the road. He also took meth with his coffee or ate it, wrapped in toilet paper. "I don't want the pictures to send someone into craving," he said. Parnell shot himself in the face with an assault rifle in 2003. The police who took the crime scene photos initially assumed he would probably die. The blast of the gun blew off the tip of his tongue, split it in two and broke most of the bones in his face. He went through bone and skin grafts and now has metal plates and more than 30 screws in his face. It was his second suicide attempt. Parnell had tried to hang himself after a voice told him his wife and children would be better off if he were dead, but the rope broke. After the shooting, Parnell's father, who had introduced him to marijuana at age 13, never called him. Nor did Parnell call his father, who has since died. These days Parnell travels to prisons and schools, sharing his story. He gardens and started a nonprofit organization, Facing the Dragon. He and his wife, Amy, have seven children. Parnell learned she was pregnant with their youngest after he was hospitalized for the attempted suicide injuries. Suicide is never the answer, he told the crowd, because you never know what's around the corner. "If I had died, I wouldn't have gotten to meet my last son," Parnell said.”(news-leader.com)…
