IBOGAINE: THE CURE TO DRUG ADDICTION

In class we have been discussing psychoactive that grows in some plants called Ibogaine. The substance that is extracted from iboga plants helps drug addicts lose all need for any drug in a matter of days or even hours. This plant originated in Africa and was simply used for rituals. Ibogaine was discovered by accident in the 1960's wgen given to a heroin addict and his need for the drug withered away in a few hours. Howard Lotsof, an ex drug addict wants to patent this substance in the United States. Our government does not want to approve it due to its hallucinogenic properties. What this means is the this substance makes you see things that are not really. That side effect only lasts a few hours following a long resting period. Canada and Mexico are some of the known countries that use ibogaine. It has proven to be very effective in these countries. If anyone wants to know more about ibogaine Howard Lotsof will be coming to the College of Staten Island on December 3rd.

OWN UP TO WHAT YOU DO!!!

An issuse a lot of people have is owning up to what they do. It's human nature to blame our mistakes and shor comings on other people. But there comes a time that if we don't own up to things we lose more than we gain. Sometimes when we hurt the people we love we try to down play the things we have done thinking we're making things better, but we're not. We need to own up to the things we do so we can truly be forgiven. If you down play your mistakes the people you hurt will think you don't care about what you did and they will never completely forgive you. that's why I have decided to do just that. I am going to own up to some of the things I've done that have hurt the man I love in hopes he can forgive me and also to motivate anyone who reads my blog to do the same. As I have written in the past I have a very specail person in my life and we have been together for 3 years. In the course of these 3 years we have been thru a lot and I have much of the blame for that. I have done some things I am not proud of, but my baby has always forgiven me. One of the biggest mistakes I did was breaking up with him when we were going thru a rough patch in our relationship. He was truy trying to attempt to fix things between us and I started dating someone else. there were other extraneous details that caused me to make this decision but I was still wrong for doing this. I hurt him greatly and I lost his trust. In spite of that he forgave me and we got back together. Besides that incident we have had other fights where I have said and done some terrible things. This last fight we had was one of the worst ever. I told him I regretted the 3 years we were together and many other awful things. I said this out of fear and anger because I'm so afraid of losing him. It's stupid how sometimes we do and say the dumbest things out of fear of losing the people we love. We don't realize that that fear can potential make us lose the people/things we love. Because of my actions the love of my life, my best friend isn't talking to me. I hope he read this and sees how sorry I am for what I have done. I love him so much and I am willing to own up to what I did. I was wrong and I don't desrve another chance, but I would like one. He isn't perfect either but I love him and I know he would never hurt me. SLC, I hope you can forgive me. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I know I need to be a better woman for you. pleas give me another chance!!! For everyone else reading this, learn from my mistakes!

PASSION, LOVE AND GOOD MEN

The rapper Ice-T once said in one of his raps "Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safe place." I complelely agree with this statement. That's the way my significant other makes me feel. His love makes me feel so protected and peaceful. The passion we have between each other makes life exciting. Even though our relationship is a little crazy I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! He is sweet, sexy, smart, generous, funny and caring. Sometimes I lose sight of all of this because me and him have been together for 3 years. When couples take each other for granted, fights and disagreements tend to occur. This has happened at times in my relationship. I want to use this opportunity to apologize to my baby for being ungrateful and hurtful at times. I love and appreciate him very much. Sometimes I'm so afraid of losing him I get crazy and do stupid shit. I truly wish I could take back some of the things I've said and done in anger. Ladies, don't make the same mistake as me! If you have a good man like mine be good to him and don't be petty! Don't ruin a good relationship out of fear. Everyone desrves to be loved.
