Pot Prices: March 2015 THMQ The Price for Getting High

Pot Prices: March 2015 THMQ  I wanted to add this link into my blog site , so here it is . For the last year I have been living in a legal limbo . I am HIV+ & have an old licence under the old health Canada act but the fact remains that those of us that live with diseases like cancer & HIV still have to pay for these meds ourselves. NO help , from ANY organizations or governments. At best we can claim it as a medical expense & hope that we can right it off. I have yet to see any returns for monies spent on prescribed medications. Now the government would like us to buy from giant corporations that charge big bucks for medicinal marijuana . These places should be giving it too us (sick & dyeing) and making their profits from those that smoke it recreationally  . I am thankful for all that I have , a safe affordable home, a great partner & friend in Adrianne Anwhatin whom I love & cherish.Wishin all a happy Easter!

Uphill Battles on WAD

So,today was world aids day ,Dec 1,2014 no. 26...how many more lives will this disease take? Too many gone forever,never given a chance to live full lives...yet people in the know say a vaccine is still 20yrs away . We are  not retaining hiv+ people in care & on treatment, & its these members of our society that we are losing.We must do more in harm reduction strategies like safe injection sites , crack kits and yes , even bordelos.A place where woman can do what thev have done for thousands of years. Where they can be safe. Science must trump ideological policies and drugs need to be legalized. No more war on drugs,sex &people n places. Do we not have enough stuff already? Just how big do our tvs need to be? Yes we can end the spread of hiv , but we choose not too. We lack the political willpower  to end the spread of this virus...a sad truth to be sure. Why is it deemed too expensive to place all those that test positive on anti retro viral medications? It could stop the spread of this virus...at least slow it down some.
We have taken backward steps with the criminalization of hiv...today world oil prices are at 67.00/ brl. Thanks to Isis trading on the blackmarket.? Nano tech can now deliver meds directly to the disease site... there is still hope. I have found love again. She loved me for who i am now,a greatfull recovering addict,taking it 1 day at a time , & not living it like its my last....peace all! P.S. Happy World Aids day eh! Wherever yu may be , & whoever yu may be...hempy holidays!

The WAR Continues RIP & the know Your Status...

Tonight i learned that Ukrainian  flight MH17 was shot down killing all on board.Many were headed to the world aids conference as advocates and researchers trying to make the world a beter place, which they did...my heartfelt condolences to all families affected by this tragic event that should NOT have happened.................................
Right now there are many people who are infected with the HIV virus & are not aware that they infected. Why would they be infected, they never shared needles, or had unsafe sex with sex workers...only junkies n hookers get aids right? WRONG!HIV does NOT care if your black,white,yellow or red...it wants to survive to replicate & mutate , which it does all too well & is why a cure remains so elusive.

Live,learn,Love & Laugh-ALOT!

I have met so many beautifull spirits in my life's journey to date...most have overcome various difficultties with a positive attitude.Trying to stay positive in a negative world is not always easy,but is possable.It takes hard work,determination & alot of patience,to name a few traits needed in life & living.The biggest thing i have had to overcome is the loss of loved one's . ... .77,88,99,04,08,09...anyone else see a patern here?Or is it just me?lol...live,love,learn & laugh-ALOT!We all have to deal with death sooner or later.For myself i am of the opinion that its just another door-way...Positivly Speaking...sounds like a great name of a documentary eh?Speaking of documentarys the march of the monarch butterfly is a ok,Home is another good 1.Good storys abound online...free at that!So whynot expand your horizens and settle down to a good doc or 2.PEACE N LOVE NOT WARS N WALLS EH FOLKS!!!

Universal Testing & Treatment Needed Now NOT Later!

If we want to stop this disease from spreading we need to test all people,everywhere,& treat all folks free of charge!But big pharma will not allow this unless they make from it.No money in a cure but lots in treatments right?Sometimes i wonder if we really do need those toxic meds after all!Positive thinking can go along way,but love can go further!

Back to Work/School

Well life never ceases to amaze me,throwing trials & tribulations that have now turned into some good oportunity's pour moi.I have a good chance at getting the CBR job i applied for 2 months ago now,and i am just waiting to hear from a couple of folks before i send off my referrals...This is where i make,or break,this job.I would like to get Dr Sandre,but i am not sure if he would do it.I haven't treated him good at all.Back when i was useing i even grabbed & threatened him.He still took me back for a patient!This guy has saved many lives,& although i do not agree with him on certain pot issue's,i think he is a good man.A good referral from him would almost certainly make the position mine...I would love to be working again,& doing this would not be like a job for me...as i like doing this type of work...this would make me feel like a contributeing member of society once again!THANK-GOD!!!He works in such wonderous ways!Just for today i am so very gratefull that i am clean,and getting closer to serene with each & every day that passes.My fear of death is slowly leaving as well...a good thing when your HIV+!Living with this disease is not always easy!Its other peoples reactions that are the hardest part to deal with-so,if you can get past that,then it should get much better for you in telling you story....

Breaking your silence & telling others of your thoughts & feelings can be such a relief!~Stress's & stressor's start to come down,although at times it can get much worse before it starts to get much better...maybe it has to do with how far youve gone downhill?Making the climb back up all the harder!Bring it on!GOD i thank YOU so very much!Life is getting even better now....and i can live with that.Peace n love not wars n walls eh folks!!!

No Job Fo Joe,Permenent Place For HIV-AIDs Gatherings

So ya i didn't get the job i applied for in Toronto but that does not surprise me,as i knew i had blown my interview with the transportation question...like how was i supposed to get back n forth...bus or hitch a ride doesn't sound solid enough or something that you can afford to count on.That's really too bad as i was really hoping to get this position.Guess it was not meant to be after all right folks...the other position i applied for i haven't heard anything back so That's a right off as well.Dam,getting back into the workforce is alot harder then i thought.Well looks like its back to school for this guy....

Now that i am Little down i may as well talk about the HIV-AIDs Candle light Memorial.We do not have any place here in sudbury to hold these each yr. and so its always a dif place.I am hoping to get 1 created here in sudsbury so we can have a place to hold this event each yr. & to write down the names of all the peoples that have died in sudbury from HIV-AIDs & related causes such as cancer.A giant red ribbon perhaps...not sure but we should have a place like this along time ago now.Access Aids Sudbury should have its own building & not be paying rent for yrs.Better to be paying for a Morgage then to just be paying rent.I wish i could do the same...hard to get anything done though when your alone.I guess i am just going to try going back and doing some upgrading for now...a busy guy is a healthy guy...k well i hope you all have a great summer.Its been an other cool 1 this yr here in sudbury.Peace n love not wars n walls eh folks!!!

NEW WAY MEN SPREAD HIV DISCOVERED!!!

Sci. & Tech.
Scientists discover new way men can transmit HIV to women
Washington (PTI): In what is being seen as a breakthrough in finding a "vaccine" to combat AIDS, scientists have discovered a "critical" new way a man can transmit HIV to a woman during sex.

Researchers had long believed that the normal lining of female vaginal tract was an effective barrier to invasion of HIV during sexual intercourse. They thought the virus could not penetrate the tissue.

But, now a team at Northwestern University has shown for the first time that HIV does penetrate a woman's normal, healthy genital tissue to a depth where it can gain access to its immune cell targets.

"This is an unexpected and important result. We have a new understanding of how HIV can invade female vaginal tract. Until now, science has really had no idea about the details of how sexual transmission of HIV actually works. The mechanism was all very murky," team leader Thomas Hope said.

According to him, if confirmed by future studies, the findings will provide information to help develop microbicides and vaccines to protect against HIV.

"We urgently need new prevention strategies or therapeutics to block the entry of HIV through a woman's genital skin. While condoms are 100 per cent effective in blocking the virus, people don't always use them for cultural and other reasons," he said.

In fact in their study, the scientists have discovered that the interior vaginal skin is vulnerable to HIV invasion at the level where it naturally sheds and replaces skin cells, a point where the cells are not as tightly bound together.

By labelling the HIV viruses with photo-activated fluorescent tags, the team was able to view the virus as it penetrated the outermost lining of the female genital tract, called the squamous epithelium, in female human tissue obtained from a hysterectomy and in animal models.

They found that HIV penetrated the genital skin barrier primarily by moving quickly -- in just four hours -- between skin cells to reach 50 microns beneath the skin, a depth similar to the width of a human hair. This is the depth at which some of the immune cells targeted by HIV are located.

HIV penetration is common in the outermost superficial layers of skin and occurs during the shedding of skin cells.

In the process, the skin cells are no longer as tightly bound together so water -- and HIV -- can easily enter. "As pieces of the skin flake off, that's the loose point in the system where the virus can get in," Hope said.

The findings of the study were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology.
