Surprisingly though, a stiff ascent is not required to reach her heavenly realm. Instead, a downwards dive. Thanks to the 'El Alto Plain', an immense expanse of high Andean plateau, La Paz lies successfully hidden just below her expanisve horizon. If not for the majestic snow covered peaks resting virtually on par with the road, this capital cities true height would never be known. Situated in the deep valley below, La Paz was literally built, from the ground up. City proper residing in the lowest portion of the valley, with the, 'not so proper', city crawling upwards and spilling over top her natural bowl. Rundown buildings, aging cobblestone streets, and weather worn signs all built at a permanent slant, desperately clinging to her sheer mountain side. The only thing more 'breathtaking' then her gravity defying scenery, is getting to it. With no hope of ever escaping her high, impermeable walls, a constant haze of exhaust and fumes swallow the city whole. Avenues are transformed into mazes of street stalls, where 'large and in charge' Bolivian women rule their 5 X 5 vendor domains from day to night. From an outsider looking in, I can't help but beg the question, 'What do they do all day? For some, not even a bathroom break qualifies. Guess that's why they all wear skirts.. And when it comes to their business habits, what business habits? In hopes of gaining more 'consumer traffic', vendors vie for the coveted, curbside positions, in which to arrange their ramshackle food carts. And while they do get more 'traffic', I'm not sure if it's the type they want. Besieged by the constant drone of automobiles and breathing in unthinkable amounts of exhaust, it's no wonder vendors are usually in a bad mood. For instance, when a tourist asks for something you may not have, instead of yelling, 'NO', maybe offer something similar in place. Or, instead of refusing to bargain at all, how about raising starting prices enough to leave room for bargaining? In this way, foreigners get the satisfaction of, 'talking the sellers down', and sellers get the satisfaction of the sale. But then again, what does a business graduate from K-State know anyways? The most well known market to travelers, also happens to be the least known to locals. Tourists refer to it as the, 'Witches Market', but witches, I mean local women, just know it as the mercado. Vials of multi-colored potions, bottles of floating eyeballs, bone necklaces, and decaying animals, oh yeah, this market has it all. The putrid odor of decaying baby alpaca, mixed with pungent wiffs of coagulating blood, complete this often revolting experience. I'm still not sure who's stranger, the women selling these 'goods', or the people buying them. Believe it or not though, these decomposing animals do serve a purpose Bolivians bury these good luck charms under the foundation of every new home or building to ward off bad spirits. Despite the insanity that is La Paz, I managed to spend 2 weeks discovering for myself why this town, for many, is like an addition. For many, the stories behind San Pedro Prison are nothing more then myth. Lies conjured up for tourist hype. However, to many others, those who have been inside, her 'myth' reigns true. Built on a foundation of corruption with walls mortared in fraudulence, this has to be the only prison where inmates rather stay, then go. Within these walls, they are still very free, enjoying the luxuries of plasma screen T. Oh, and of course, drugs, as the same drugs that landed them in prison, still circulate within. With luxuries such as these, it's hard to imagine inmates are, 'paying the consequences', for their crimes. Instead, the only thing they are paying for, comes in the form of a hierarchy system. Entering her confines with money, like many of the drug dealers, enables the purchase of their very own Hilton, 5 star penthouse suite. Common criminals, on the other hand, do not share the same luxury and are instead placed in Super 8 alternative cells. You may be wondering how they can do this? Well, with no guards inside, this prison is sufficiently run by criminals. Tours have even begun, allowing tourists access behind her bars, to see for themselves what is truth and what is fiction. Getting in, however, is far from easy. A system of knowing someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, is just the first step. Bribing the guards to get in, is the next. And finally, once in, gifts such as cigarettes, shampoo, and soap must be offered to your inmate guide. I'm sure the entire 'tour' is absurdly remarkable, but the highlight for most visitors comes at the end, concluding with a visit to your inmates cell. Cocaine is distributed freely within the cells, along with marijuana, alcohol and probably everything else an addict could ever desire. The only catch is visitors cannot leave with anything. Otherwise, they run the risk of being caught by the same corrupt guards that let them in and becoming the newest addition to the San Pedro family. Curious, as always, I wanted to see for myself what lived behind her walls, however, logic won out. Did I really want to support the same corruption that continues to plague Bolivia today, with my bribe money and inmate gifts? Nah, I'd rather spend my Bolivianos elsewhere. My second La Paz feature also goes down as the, 'most random day ever'. Where else can you see big Bolivian women going at it, while barrading them with braised chicken legs and getting showered in Orange Pop? Men, women, even midgets collide in the ring for this once in a lifetime viewing. WWF has met it's match. Still not sure which has worse actors, but if it came down to the costumes, Chalita's would win hands down. Second round.. Dressed in their full traditional garb; gigantic layered skirts, braided hair, and ballerina like slippers, contender 1 let's just call her, BIrtha took out the trash with Karate Kid. Battering him with punches, choke holds, and finishing with a colossal rope jump, suffocating him under her massive And she was just warming up. Props, fake blood, midgits with beating sticks, and of course, her opponent Thelma, graced the final round!!! This is where the crowd goes wild, expressing their contender hatred by chucking everything from popcorn to soda into the ring. Not wanting to be left out, Thelma decided to express her distain for the audience by not only spitting on us, but also spraying her very own 2 liter of Orange Soda all over us. That was it, now it was personal. Masks on, this was war! Juice bottles, potato chips, and even my cooked chicken leg became ammo, as the war waged on. Talk about a food fight! Now, I can successfully say I hit a Bolivian wrestler in the head with marinated chicken. Like I said, this goes down as the most random day ever. Finally, the famous Adventure Brew Hostel. Known all over South America, this on site brewery hostel attracts travelers from far and wide. Between the beer malt wrestling, beer tubs and of course, beer bongs, this hostel pretty much speaks for itself. How great to be behind the bar once more. And eventhough the free room and board did not come close to payment for 7 hours of bar work a night, the social life did. I even ran into a few of my old Aussie buddies. Talk about a small world. La Paz can not be 'done' in a day, or two, or even in the 2 weeks I stayed. It is a city of constant discovery. Wonderfully incurable and wonderfully unique for it.

Advocates for the legalization of medical and retail marijuana are quick to point out all the possible benefits that a community might see from such a venture. The more potent a drug is, the stronger the possibility of addiction and the more likely the person will continue to purchase and use the product. The active component in marijuana that people find so desirable was not really known until the s when a research team in Israel found that after injecting THC into aggressive rhesus monkeys, they became calm and sedate. It was not until the s that this same team discovered why we have these receptors in our brain. The primary problem with the current available cannabis in dispensaries in Colorado is that the THC content is not like it used to be. For example the Girl Scout Cookie strain has only 0. The flower or leaves that are generally smoked or vaped are only one formulation. There is absolutely no research that indicates this level of THC is beneficial for any medical condition. The purpose of these products is to produce a high, and the increased potency makes them potentially more dangerous and more likely to result in addiction. Because there was initially no regulation on the edibles they have been made to look very similar to regular products that people consume such as chocolates, gummy bears, PopTarts etc. Keep away from Children. According to the Monitoring the Future Study, marijuana is by far the number one drug abused by eighth and twelfth graders. However, there are significant consequences of long-term or heavy marijuana use beginning in adolescence. Adolescence is a time of significant brain development. Normally during this period there is a significant increase in dopaminergic and glutamatergic stimulatory neurotransmitters and a decrease in serotonergic and GABAergic suppressive neurotransmitters located in the pre-frontal motor cortex — the last part of the brain to fully develop. This equates to a great deal of learning, exploring and doing during this period, similar to stepping on the gas pedal and problems with impulse control and judgement, similar to problems stepping on the brake. The marijuana of old used to be classified as a hallucinogen and was thought to not cause addiction because there was no identified withdrawal syndrome. This has changed and with the increased potency of THC there is a definite recognized withdrawal syndrome which includes increased anger, irritability, depression, restlessness, headache, loss of appetite, insomnia and severe cravings for marijuana. All drugs of abuse cause a release of dopamine from the nucleus acumbens that signifies salience and starts the process of long term potentiation which reinforces the learning. At the same time, the hippocampus which is vitally important for new memory and learning is negatively impacted by the chronic use of any addictive substance. These substances decrease neurogenesis in the hippocampus and actually cause shrinkage of the hippocampus and impair the ability to learn new things. This is true for alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, nicotine, and THC. When the use of addictive drugs is stopped and the animals are allowed to be in a recovery environment where they are free to exercise voluntary exercise being one thing that improves neurogenesis they can again learn new things. A study of 40 male and 34 female long-term 15 years cannabis users versus 37 non-users, healthy controls divided the marijuana users into three groups; those that smoked predominantly THC in the previous three months, those who smoked a combination of THC and CBD in the previous three months and former uses with a sustained abstinence of 29 months. In the former users the hippocampal integrity was comparable to controls. The only problem with this study is they did not test for functional deficits to see if function improved along with hippocampal volume. There are other important neurotransmitters that are very active during adolescence and include acetylcholine receptors ACH and endocannabinergic receptors CB1. ACH helps us focus and concentrate and ACH innervation of the pre-frontal motor cortex reaches mature levels during adolescence. They are called nicotinic simply because nicotine binds to these receptors — not because we are supposed to use tobacco products. These receptors are involved in promoting or preventing neuronal cell death depending on the stage of brain development. Putting an exogenous form of nicotine in the developing brain, as in consuming tobacco, can dysregulate these fine tuning mechanisms during adolescence. CB1 receptors regulate the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neuronal activity utilizing our own natural anandamides. Exposure to cannabis during adolescence disrupts glutamate which plays an important role in synaptic pruning in the pre-frontal motor cortex; disrupting normal brain development. A study in New Zealand with a year follow-up showed an average loss of 8 IQ points with early persistent teen use of marijuana. A study out of Yale University tracked 1, students who achieved similar SAT scores and were enrolled in college. Those who drank alcohol without using marijuana had an average GPA of 3. Marijuana use is also correlated with creating or worsening many mental health problems including anxiety, depression, psychosis, and suicidal ideation. A prospective study in Australia followed 1, girls for seven years starting before they expressed symptoms of mental illness or substance abuse. A study of adults with depression assessed symptoms, functioning and marijuana use at baseline, and three- and six-month intervals. Numerous studies have demonstrated that using cannabis prior to the age of 15—18 significantly increases the risk of developing psychotic symptoms. A landmark study out of the UK analyzed adults, ages 18—65, with their first psychotic episode versus matched healthy controls. A growing number of states have identified PTSD as an approved condition for medical marijuana. However, this is not based on any research. There is no evidence that marijuana successfully treats PTSD and there is evidence that it can make it worse. All these compounds do is provide temporary relief by numbing the individual and disconnecting them from the traumatic emotion. It does not resolve the trauma, and they have to continue to use multiple times a day in order to continue with the benefit. This can lead to increased addiction potential and withdrawal symptoms, cognitive impairment, a-motivational syndrome, and the potential for psychosis or worsening psychosis from the PTSD. Those who were using marijuana but stopped using it in treatment had the lowest level of PTSD symptoms four months after treatment, and those who started smoking marijuana had the highest levels of violent behavior and PTSD symptoms four months after treatment. Another conundrum that impacts treatment for PTSD is the possibility that cannabis users have an increased susceptibility to memory distortions even when abstinent and drug free which can compromise reality monitoring. Riba et al. The study involved a memory paradigm including a study phase and a testing phase with the participant in an MRI scanner. They were given lists of four words to memorize and then shown a different list and they had to report if the words were on the previous list. Marijuana users were significantly more likely to have false recognition of the words and were less likely to reject that they had a false memory compared with the non-users. Multiple studies have documented a relationship between cannabis use and suicidality. A large, longitudinal study in Australia and New Zealand of over adolescents and maximum frequency of marijuana use found almost a seven fold increase in suicide attempts in daily marijuana users compared with non-users. According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, marijuana is by far the most frequently encountered drug on toxicology screens of suicides among adolescents ages 10 — 19 and has been increasing over the last eight years. Misguided marijuana advocates have recently been suggesting that marijuana is a solution for the opioid epidemic. A study of 5, adolescents in the UK with three or more measures of cannabis use from age 13—18 found a dose-response relationship between cannabis use trajectories in adolescence and nicotine dependence, harmful alcohol consumption, and other illicit drug use by age There is evidence that prenatal exposure of cannabis can alter opioid gene function in humans. Fetal brains obtained from aborted fetuses from women who were using marijuana during their pregnancy were compared to those from women not using marijuana during pregnancy. These findings are comparable to findings with animals. One study of prenatal cannabis exposure in rats found that the THC exposed rats exhibited shorter latency to first active lever press for heroin and had higher heroin-seeking during mild stress and drug extinction than animals not exposed to THC. Another interesting study that supports the idea that cannabis use and opioid use are linked was in a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial of naltrexone in non-treatment seeking cannabis smokers. If states continue to commercialize marijuana as has been done in Colorado we are destined to see many more people requiring treatment for addiction, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and psychosis. We need to continually educate every one of the risks and increase prevention efforts to prevent children and adolescents from initiating marijuana use. This should include a strong ban on any advertising that appears to be directed toward youth — for all drugs including marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol. States will need to commit to increased funding for and availability of treatment options. The strongest recommendation would be to initiate regulations to limit the concentration of THC.
