Take a hit and also Hit the J’, spliff, blunt Doobie/// There’s a game called “chicago” (US) you and your friends make a circle, prepare a Joint, you must take a pull and hold it while the rest smokes and passes the joint on, when it come back to your hand you’re able to release the smoke, if you can’t hold it until it get back, you lose and have to get out of the circle. In Venezuela is called “Americano” . I learned it from a weedtuber (Silenced Hippie)

beernaard

Hi Beernaard,

As far as I understand, cannabis is not addictive. Better take baby steps anyway ;)

Adam

The danger of the marijuana is not in addiction, but in distraction people, young people, from the creative life, from active life. Thay became “happy” and don’t need anything else.

Timvic

Does anybody wanna chat in Skype?

Hi Mayar,

Strain, in the context of plants, means variety or type. Glad you got some new words :)

Adam

thanks dear

mayar.samir

Thank, Adam. I would also like to ask a question.

“It can even happen within the same person, who is overweight but lacking in vital nutrients.” I saw this sentence on the news, but I don’t know why after ‘but’ here we need to use ‘lacking’ but not ‘lack’.

Sophie

By the way, I also don’t understand when we should put a comma before ‘but’ and when we should not.

Sophie

Sorry, one more question to go.
Something is of no benefit. What kind of role does ‘of’ play here? I don’t understand.

Sophie

then can we just say sth has no benefit instead of sth is of no benefit? Do they mean the same thing?

Sophie

Hi Sophie,

After but in the example you can use lacks (who is… but who lacks. lacking is a gerund and suggests: who is overweight but who is lacking …. either way, you need a parallel structure.

There is no comma in this example because there is only one subject (who).

is of no benefit: the of is possessive. (A woman of great intellect).

Does this help?

Adam

Cannabis is gift from God. İt makes us to internal flight. I wish human knew it. All my respect to Canada. Salvation is herb. Also thank you so much. Love and Peace! :)
