Pursuit Of Dream

Scintillation light in the morning
Welcomes soul full of ambition
Start wading step
A bright future awaited
    I start with a definite step
Staring at the sun light
Incessant pulse
Retracing steps stronger my heart
On expectations of ideals
Although I traveled nevertheless far right
Sky-high ornamental star
I will continue to reach out it
     Million for steps to achieve it
Covering an area of ocean sweat
Never mind
I will achieve all the dreams
MENGEJAR MIMPI
Kilau sinar di pagi hari
Sambut jiwa yang penuh ambisi
Memulai langkah mengarungi
Masa depan yang cerah dinanti
Kumulai dengan langkah pasti
Menatap cahaya sang mentari
Denyut nadi yang tak henti
Menapak langkah teguhkan hati
Tentang harapan tentang cita
Walau jauh kan ku tempuh jua
Setinggi bintang hias angkasa
Ku akan tetap tuk menggapainya
Sejuta langkah tuk meraihnya
Seluas lautan keringatku
Tak akan pernah pedulikan
Ku akan raih semua impian
Oleh: wawan setiawan

At The Beach

The wind blows
I breathe deeply
I can feel the sand
I can hear the waves
I close my eyes so tight
I can barely see light
It feels as if I float in thin air
It’s relaxing, it’s refreshing
It’s peace, it’s nature
It’s as if I can fly
And never die…

Di Pantai
Angin bertiup
Aku mengirup nafas dalam
Aku bisa merasakan pasirnya
Aku bisa mendengar ombak
Kututup mata rapat
Aku bisa melihat cahaya
Seolah aku melayang di udara
Rasanya begitu santai, begitu menyegarkan
Inilah kedamaian, inilah alam
Seolah aku bisa terbang
dan takan pernah mati…

Opini Ganja

Regulation of illegal marijuana out the first time in 1961 was born. The emergence of that regulation occurs in single-narcotics conference, which created the United Nations (UN). In 1976, the Republic of Indonesia was first ratified the regulation. At that time, Soeharto era. The question is why the United Nations proscribing cannabis in 1961?The UN is an organization established winners of World War II. There is a United States (US), Britain, France, Russia, and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Five countries that veto capitalist countries and socialist countries. The problem is, capitalist and socialist ideology is rooted in philosophy of materialism.That is, the United Nations has an interest in proscribing cannabis. We're talking hemp (marijuana industry). Hemp is China's largest manufacturers, as well as French and Russian in the second. All three countries have veto power in the UN. The three countries monopolize cannabis plants for the industry. And, it is a fact. So, why diilegalisasi? This was done so that the countries of the United Nations could monopolize hemp.World Health Organization (WHO) or the World Health Organization, a UN agency said, marijuana is useless for medical purposes. Therefore, legislation (the Act) in the world to ratify the narcotic class of one can not be used for treatment, including marijuana plant. However, Britain became a country that has a patent for the treatment, which is made from the cannabis plant. The center has the largest one in the UK and Israel. More funny, when Britain said through the United Nations, the cannabis plant was no medical benefits. But in fact, the British actually use it as a treatment, such as chemotherapy, multipluskreosis, depression, and alzaimer. And, all of which already have a patent. The company name GW PHARMACEUTICALS.Meanwhile in the US, marijuana is the most valuable production of Kentucky, 1810. pascatahun marijuana fibers into a commodity called Grand Staple of Kentucky. Although newly planted on a large scale in 1775, Kentucky became one of the largest manufacturers of hemp in the US in 1810. In 1950, marijuana is a commodity that was ranked third in terms of total production, after cotton and tobacco. There are 8327 hectares of cannabis are largely concentrated in Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Mississippi. In the Journal of Agricultural edition March 16, 1791, hemp has been used for raw materials rigging, rope and sailcloth in the shipbuilding industry in the US. In Viriginia, the Law "cultivation" ever enacted between the years 1763-1767. Farmers are required to plant marijuana and face imprisonment if they fail to produce it, a form of irony cultivation of cannabis in the US.In fact, the US Department of Agriculture in 1942, in a documentary entitled Hemp for Victory, issued a statement that prior to 1850, all ships sailing in the Western Hemisphere, may simply be equipped with sailcloth and ropes made from hemp. The British Empire itself between 1851 to 1855 has imported over 245 thousand tons of hemp fiber, in addition to local production is not enough to meet the growing fleet.Also in China, the use of marijuana can pursue the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) and can reduce poverty. And, it has been proven. However, China does not approve of marijuana to smoke, but utilizing marijuana leaves to the industry. Hemp is the best quality clothing fibers and antimicrobial or bacteria. China has 309 patents marijuana (mostly medical marijuana), of a total of 606 patents were registered at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).And recently, Uruguay became a country that fully legalize the production, sale and distribution of marijuana. Countries that started the tender to companies who want to cultivate marijuana on public lands. The tender was opened to private companies until August 18, 2014. Meanwhile, a new institution named Institute for the Regulation and Control of Cannabis (IRCCA) seeking five companies to cultivate marijuana, will get a license to make marijuana gardens on public lands, and sell to consumer. Company that wins the tender will be allowed to produce and distribute 1-2 tons of marijuana per year, to be sold to a pharmaceutical company for $ 1 dollar per gram.If you had marijuana for industry, now we are discussing the countries that have legalized medical marijuana. Medicines containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can be prescribed by doctors in Croatia began on Thursday (15/10/2015). The recipe was for patients who suffer from chronic health problems, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and AIDS. Regulations limit the quantity to 7.5 grams per month. Patients can receive these prescription medications only up to 30 days. But grow marijuana at home, remain illegal. Croatian Health Minister, Sinisa Varga states, medical marijuana will.
available in all pharmacies within the next few weeks. But this time, medical marijuana is offered only through eight pharmaceutical companies. National Cancer Institute, part of the US Department of Health, are now suggesting, cannabinoids may be useful in treating the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment, by smoking marijuana and eating food products made from cannabis, drinking herbal teas, or even spraying cannabinoids under the tongue. The use of cannabis for other diseases, including anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting the growth of cells, preventing the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor, antiviral activity and ease muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis. The cancer cells in mice died when exposed to marijuana. Several scientific studies have suggested it in the past. And in April this year, the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) to revise their publications and suggest that marijuana can shrink brain tumors to kill cancer cells. Now there are two cannabis-based drugs that have been approved by the FDA for cancer patients who are in the US (nabiximols) and the UK (Sativex). In fact, had been able to use Sativex cancer patients in the UK, Spain, Italy, and Germany. It answered a big question mark, why a plant that is used throughout the world for thousands of years, suddenly could be something sinister?
