Question by Anonymous xx: How long does hair grow in 6 months and how can i make it grow faster?
Hi, some time this year (I cant remember when) i cut my hair to shoulder length. It was REALLY long and I loved it but i cut it short so it would grow out thicker (I have always had really thin hair). Now I am growing it back out again its a really weird in between length and I got a lead part in a play that is on the 22nd of June 2013 and they want my hair as long as it can be so I have about 6 months to grow long hair. I didn’t really care about making it thicker because it is growing out thicker. At the moment my hair is about 19 inches down from my scalp so not to long but not short. My hair is very healthy and has never been died/ is only straightened or curled rarely.    Read more...

Question by n2it: Marijuana has got to be physically addictive ?
I always hear all this babble about how marijuana isn’t physically addictive.

I agree that pot is great and has many uses. Same for alcohol, caffeine, and prescription medications. They are not physically addictive when used in moderation either.

However anyone who smokes high quality marijuana several times a day for many years will tell you that quitting is extremely difficult.

Especially if that person is a functioning stoner who gets all of their obligations accomplished… but still needs to light up every day.

Whatever cited scientific studies that claim that marijuana isn’t physically addictive need to come study and observe my close group of friends.

Physical withdraw symptoms include inability to eat, mood swings (sometimes violent), inability to sleep, increased anxiety, and old fashioned malaise.    Read more...
