Marijuana regulation is associated with declining alcohol consumption validated by various government and private research reports.

Cannabis is also known as marijuana. It is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant. Native to Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, the cannabis plant has been used as a drug for both recreational and entheogenic purposes and in various traditional medicines for centuries.

Seasons Greetings from #CityImages. This is the first full week of the most wonderful three months and our favorite time of the year.

And so it begins... The best trimester of the year. Regardless of whether you're using the ancient Aztec Calendar or not.

We enjoy these three months because October's still Hispanic History Month, UB’s birthday, and then followed by Halloween. November is Thanksgiving, a time to enjoy family and friends. December is Christmas, a time when everyone feels special.

Here is how we can stay entertained and happy during these trying times of COVID. Understand that there is great fun in being with our partner and loving the one we're with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY4HI_vqf0c

Imagination and the potential of something we want then in the actual appearance of it. I spend hours daydreaming about being with my family once again, my wife, or old pals, as I’ve learned to love myself and become my own best friend.

If everyone all over the world really wants to be free... not under the control or in the power of anyone, to act as one wishes, and no longer to live confined.

Today I am feeling very grateful for everyone and everything I have including my health and happiness because wealth is overrated. 

I also thank Our Lord for a beautiful family, a wonderful career as my world seems full of growing magical options.

Eight years ago we were married on City Island - A Slice of New York City Paradise. A year earlier I asked Yirong to marry me at the local NYC beach during the annual July Fourth Fireworks celebrations and extravaganza.

Human Kindness

Every one of us holds the power to heal. To have a real impact on the health of the people around you. We all do it daily.

This is the real reason why modern medicine is ripe for a change in perspective. Because each of us is a human being in search of kindness and understanding. Our body, mind, and spirits are one and the same.

The world's oldest news organization offers these close-up photos of this pandemic-era Olympic Games, you can imagine the world's most competitive athletes saying to their rivals: “Are you OK?” 

A KISS

Kissing was like cooking, everyone could do it, but only some made it delicious. If you practice you could become a big pastry chef.

Today, will the long sweet kiss be endangered and become a thing of the past with #Covid? Social distancing made the cheek kiss a much rarer greeting, and polling suggests it may stay that way. Some say good riddance, but others miss the warmth of a good kiss.

Beauty’s Not Only Skin Deep

Last night, I listened, watched, and learned from two lovely ladies who were communicating over #WeChat about applying makeup.

They are both successful, professional, and well-educated mothers in the prime of their lives. One who is my wife has a finance degree and the other, her younger sister holds advanced degrees in public health. The video conversation was also about the time-consuming and expenses that are required in purchasing and storing cosmetics.
