Changing Marijuana’s ‘Shady’ Image
Younger Generation Leading The Way For Legalization of This Much Maligned Herb
By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com While marijuana is slowly being accepted in many states across the country, it is not really understood by many. The images of falling down, laughing, “pot heads” who eat everything in sight and walk around with red eyes and in a fog, is in the past. While Cheech & Chong was definitely funny and still are when you watch their many movies, it is NOT what marijuana is here in 2018.

Laser Vision Correction Is Changing Lives
Dr. Stanley Braverman Continues To Help Make Vision Dreams Come True
Hollywood - For as long as she can remember, Irina Bashmakova has had problems with her eyes. Wearing glasses since the second grade - and contacts since her early teens, the 30-year-old stay at home mother was very near sighted and was searching for laser surgery that would correct the problem and eliminate the glasses or contacts. While she had the problem, it wasn’t new to her family. Nearsightedness, or Myopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which people can see close objects clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. People with Myopia can have difficulty clearly seeing a movie or TV screen or the whiteboard
while they are in school. Irina found that Myopia occurs if the eyeball is too long or the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) is too curved. As a result, the light entering the eye isn't focused correctly, and distant objects look blurred.
