T5HO Fluorescent Grow Lights On Sale
a leading supplier of grow lights, residential lighting and commercial lighting, today announced its special offering of fluorescent fixtures available at reduced prices. Shoppers can save up to 32% on T5HO grow lights.
With prices for power rising in many states, some growers have found refuge in T5HO fluorescent fixtures, ideal for propagation, vegetation and bloom stages. With the reduced prices offered by Access Discounts, growers not only experience a savings in power costs, but save on the purchase of optimum performance grow lights. In comparison tests performed, a T5-48 fluorescent fixture will out produce a 1000W metal halide light in the first three weeks of use, with the T5-48 drawing as little as 432 watts.
THE BRAINS BEHIND THE BUD
There’s a certain strong odour a visitor notices when first stepping into the Compassion Club medicinal marijuana distribution centre on Rachel and St-Laurent. It doesn’t take any time to figure out what it is. Marijuana activists have called the building home for years, and, if Boris St-Maurice gets his way, the weed will make it back to the forefront of a national dialogue sooner probably than the federal Conservative Party would like.
Marijuana Activists Push for ‘De-Prioritization’
Marijuana legalization activists are pushing for new city ordinances to make enforcement of pot possession the lowest priority for police and prosecutors. Seattle passed such a measure in 2003. Has anything changed on the streets there over the past four years?
American College of Physicians Endorses Medical Marijuana
(NaturalNews) Transcending political controversy and stigma surrounding the subject, the second largest physician group in the country has endorsed the use, reclassification, and further study of medicinal marijuana. In a position paper issued February 14th, the American College of Physicians (ACP) makes the case that the red tape surrounding the medical use of cannabis has obscured good science for too long.
Dope without the high
It’s a stoner’s worst nightmare: pot without the high. But a drug that offers the pain-killing and appetite boost associated with marijuana without the forgetfulness, giggles and general dopiness might appeal to cancer patients and others who would otherwise turn to medical marijuana.
Now, researchers in California (one of the first US states to legalise medical marijuana) have identified a family of chemicals that comes close to mimicking weed, but without the high.

In marijuana debate, both sides can point to the science
If marijuana were a new discovery, without cultural and political baggage, “it would be hailed as a wonder drug,” wrote Dr. Lester Grinspoon last year. The Harvard psychiatrist has advocated for medical marijuana for decades.
Yet a gap has persisted between what many believe about medical marijuana’s potential and what scientists could prove. Now recent research has applied the same rigor that would be used on any new pill to testing marijuana.
Hydroponics Industry Hits Pay Dirt in Mainstream Suburbia, States Advanced Nutrients
Advanced Nutrients has discovered a booming hydroponics industry in suburban neighborhoods. Michael Straumietis, Robert C. Higgins and Eugene Yordanov state that the recent increase in fertilizer prices has led to a direct higher cost for consumers buying fruit and produce. This has increased the use of hydroponics for the propagation of food crops in suburban homes and gardens.
“Hydroponics gardening used to be something done only in large commercial greenhouses,” states Advanced Nutrients co-founders Michael Straumietis, Robert C. Higgins and Eugene Yordanov.
Hydroponics program nets Gateway $5G award
WOODBURY HEIGHTS Technology education students at Gateway Regional High School were rewarded for their efforts in sustainability and alternative energy Thursday with a $5,000 Environmental Community Service award.
Students in Chris Anderson and Chris Better’s tech ed classes have been working for the past few years on developing a hydroponics system of growing vegetables, fruits and herbs without soil and raising full-grown tilapia fish which produce natural fertilizer for the plants.
Fish fertilize ‘farm’ at school
WOODBURY HEIGHTS — At Gateway Regional High School, the Information Age smells like fish.
Tilapia, actually. A hundred of them, each about a half-pound, together living in a 1,000-gallon plastic tank in what was once the school wood shop.
“They grow in anything,” said Chris Anderson, 27, a technology-education teacher. “That’s why we started with them.”
Legalize marijuana at a certain age
I think that marijuana should be legal, with an age limit. You can buy and smoke cigarettes at 18 and buy and consume alcohol at 21; marijuana should be legal, too. Alcohol and cigarettes are worse for you, but are legal at a certain age. Cigarettes damage the lungs and can cause emphysema, bronchitis and lung cancer. According to the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, alcohol is deadly and marijuana is not. The U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention say that 20,000 Americans die each year as the direct result of alcohol consumption. The number of deaths due to marijuana is zero. Studies have never shown a death by overdose of marijuana or shown marijuana to have properties of being addictive like tobacco; so why do cigarettes and alcohol have a legal age limit when marijuana is less harmful and labeled an illegal drug?
I think that the Legislature should consider legalizing pot with an age limit of 18.
