This is the first printable page in your book and will print on the right side.
These instructions should not appear in your exported pdf. Please be sure to complete your Pages design prior to creating your Cover template. The Page Count must be exact when creating your Cover template.. You’ll need to upload a PDF for the pages and at least one cover type. Remember, all books must be an even number of pages. The first page will be on the right side as you open the cover and the last page will be on the left side as you close the book. Hardcover books include an end sheet on both the front and back of the inside pages for binding purposes. Please note, all critical text and art should appear within this gray area. Any content outside this area may be unevenly trimmed or hidden by the gutter when the book is bound. If you would like your artwork to extend to the very edge of your finished book then pull your artwork edge to the red bleed line.
Be sure to review your exported PDF in an outside program (like Adobe Reader) to ensure it appears correctly and without these instructions. Further info can be found at: http://www.blurb.com/apps/indesign-plugin

Less than one hundred years ago you could go to jail for making and selling alcohol, it was called Prohibition. Forty one years ago you could go to jail for playing numbers. It was gambling and it was against the law. Forty years later the lottery announces record profits over 3 billion dollars. Those profits are used help senior citizens. Thank you Lottery, I get homeowner’s rebate and help paying for my prescription. Most citizens and states are looking for new sources of income. If I told you there is a recession proof number one cash crop commodity that could create hundreds of jobs and bring in millions of dollars – would you be interested? I believe in the 3 R’s, the Revenue Remedy is Reefer. I am a medical marijuana advocate, self medicating for 52 years. All smokers I know, adults with homes, families, jobs i.e. you and me, would be happy to go to the Marijuana Mall, The Refer Room, The Weed Feed, The folks Smokes, or the Pot Spot. We wouldn’t be worried about getting robbed, or inferior product, or being busted by police. We would pay out taxes with a smile. Who needs this medicine? Older folks who don’t want chemicals in their body, cancer patients, HIV infected, Hurtin’ folks, etc. When I broke my leg in 90’s, I gave my doctor back the “Vicodin” pain pills and told him “I will smoke the reefer and feel better”. Smoking marijuana did not make Lizzie Borden pick up an axe or generate “Reefer Madness”. It is as much a gateway drug as beer is to alcohol. Stop demonizing marijuana. The men who made the laws smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol and wanted people to conform to their lifestyle. You cannot overdose on a joint – the worst you can do is fall asleep. How will we handle the marijuana dilemma in Pennsylvania? How did those 20 states get medical marijuana approved? Was there a statewide referendum, a legislated bill? Who regulaters – sow it, grow it, pick it, clip it, pack it, ship it? Will we sell it in the pharmacy, the grocery store, the state store, the corner store, compassion centers? How will it be packaged – as cigarettes, grams, ounces, commercial brands, homegrown? There are many other uses for the rest of the hemp plant – paper, food, canvas, rope, the outlook for renewable revenue source from beneficial products that people desire is astounding. Senator Rob Teplitz and Representative Patty Kim – please convene a commission to intelligently deal with the marijuana legislation. What benefits the most citizens – state run or private enterprise? Who will benefit from the taxable income? Should the profits go to local schools, museums, structural deficits, each citizen? How many residents would object of it paid off our incinerator debt and funded more police? The crime rate would decline. Our jails will have more room for criminal offender’s not non violent pot smokers. Senator Casey, we must lobby the Federal Government to take marijuana off of schedule 1. The Federal Government has marijuana as more deadly than cocaine, meth and pills. That is like saying coffee will do more harm than Johnny Walker alcohol. If the majority of citizens approve marijuana legislation and Governor Corbett vetoes it, we will elect a governor who has foresight to appreciate all the benefits for users and non users. Let’s make Harrisburg the “HEMP HUB”. PEACE. AUTHOR: AVA BERG

risk
Using marijuana at a young age can result in structural and functional deficits of the brain. This could cause you to develop weakened verbal and communication skills, lowered learning capabilities and a shortened attention span.
effect
In addition to the possible effects on your brain, smoking marijuana may also be hazardous to your developing lungs. Marijuana smoke contains 50% to 70% more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke. You may have heard people argue that marijuana is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gateway drugâ&#x20AC;? to harder drug use. Some say this is a myth, others insist it is a fact. The truth is that there is a link. Research shows that the earlier you start using marijuana, the more likely you are to become dependent on it or other types of drugs later in life.
culture
Some movies and music make "stoner" culture seem cool, natural and like it's not a big deal. But if being fit and getting good grades are some of your goals, using marijuana can become a big deal, fast. Marijuana limits your brain's effectiveness, slows your thinking and impairs your coordination. A number of studies have also shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression and schizophrenia.
