She didn't know her new hubby was a junky. Shit all the signs were there. She covered up nice for him though. She told everybody he died of a heart attack. Which was true but it was the heroine he shot in his pinky toe that caused him to go into cardiac arrest.

Chelle's babydaddy went to jail when lil Quan was about six. I guess the cycle continues.
Ja'Quan was doing a ten year bid on some trafficking charges he pled guilty to. Just a minor set back for a major comeback.
Big Quan was still making moves and stacking money on the low. Chelle would still receive large sums of money from Quan's people.

Quan had two other babymommas that Chelle knew of. She would send them a few hundred every month and stack the rest. Vic paid all her bills and she worked as a manager running one of he and Heavy's sports bars. She would also put money away for once lil Quan

I know my child is a fighter." She said in my ear as she hugged me. My eyes scanned the room landing on the family that was crying. The elder lady whom looked to be fresh out of church with her big floppy hat on and off-white skirt and blouse. She set in a chair across from my mom sobbing like she'd lost her child. I knew cause her cries were of a broken mother. A young girl whom could've been maybe twelve or thirteen was fanning the older lady with one of those paper fans from church. It had a picture of praying hands with a rosary and a scripture on top. The man that was standing next to her rubbing her back, tried helping her up but she wouldn't allow him to touch her. Every time he would say "C'mon momma" reaching for her arm, she would jerk her self

    In a little under a month California will be voting on Proposition 19. If approved, this proposition will legalize marijuana for recreational use; the drug will be taxed heavily, and would apply DUI to marijuana users. However, California is the only state “progressive” enough for this act. In fact, 36 states have not even legalized cannabis for medical use ("14 Legal Medical Marijuana States and DC”). The medical community continues to advance our ability to handle life-threatening diseases and lengthen life. With that ability comes an expansion of the treatments that patients must undergo, such as chemotherapy and radiation. In some cases the side effects paired with the healing process are too much to handle, and many patients refuse medical treatment that may save their life. Recent research has discovered that the use of marijuana alleviates multiple symptoms of medical care associated with cancer and AIDS. Today’s laws force disease victims to choose between breaking the law to ease suffering or undergo an onslaught of symptoms in anguish. National and state governments do not need to support recreational cannabis, but they should consider medicinal marijuana for legalization so that those who already suffer the disadvantage of disease don’t have to choose between misery and death.…

    Each year the United States government documents drug related deaths in our country, breaking the deaths down into categories of cause. These categories include tobacco, alcohol, prescription medications, illegal drug, and of course marijuana related deaths. Every year the number of deaths coming from marijuana is equivalent to zero. So why is there even controversy over the issue of legalization? Obviously, there are still some people out there who believe the drug is a topic for concern in our nation. In recent years, there has been tremendous progress being made in the field of medicine. University hospitals around the country have been proving again and again that the drug poses no threat to human health and well being, even among patients who have used marijuana excessively. Recreational use of the drug marijuana will most likely continue until the end of humankind. Because of this, legalization of marijuana should be instated to prevent illegal trade of the drug and to shut down the black market. Many people are proposing the legal trade of marijuana in our country. To allow for this, some individuals argue to tax the sale of the drug just like alcohol and tobacco. State governments in the United States are beginning to push for legalization and the decriminalization of the drug. It is possible that after years of debate, many people are beginning to see the light and understand that marijuana poses no negative effects on the body, only positive effects when the drug is used safely for both recreational and medicinal purposes. These positive effects come in the form of treating many illnesses such as arthritis, simple aches and pains, nervosa, relief for chemotherapy patients, migraine headaches, asthma, glaucoma, epilepsy, and eating disorders.

    Billie and her mother used to fight a lot, when her mother was around. Much of the time Billie was left in the care of relatives or friends, many of whom were unloving (E). Billie's relationship with her family was very weak, as Billie throughout her life and career never or rarely got family approval or recognition (W 13). The extent to which Billie did not get along with her family is evident as she was chastised for her grandmother's death at the age of six (E). The turmoil within Billie's family was manifested when Billie commented later on in life that "As far as I'm Concerned, all the Fagans are dead" (W 14). This made her family very mad and lead to their further abandonment of Billie. Aside from the superficial tension between Billie and her mother, they did their best to remain loyal to one another and provide for each other (W 201).…

    Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in United States and in many other countries; this is a statement that seems to be in each article that is written about the legalization of marijuana. This is a subject that has been up for debate for quite a few years now. There are many people who support the legalization of this drug and are strongly convinced that marijuana is not a drug in which one should be punished for, but rather a drug that should not be frowned upon and seen as a way to help our nation economically and medically.
