<p>Nowadays posting on any kind of social media platform is getting a little redundant. I find myself having to think in broader terms as far as keeping my fan base from reading the same thing every single day. What do you like to see or read about when you surf your favorite social media platform?</p>

<p>As i wake up this morning, I remember my Dad Andrew G Meyers… One of the coolest dudes you never met, and smarter than the average dad. As the memories flood in I can’t help but imagine what life wouldve been like if he had the chance to finish his life story with us, but I know in the back of my mind I hear him with me daily. Then I start thinking about all the men who were fathers in my family tree, grandpa’s, great and great-great grandpa’s, and wonder if some of those instincts/voices that speak though could be my ancestors as well… So Happy Fathers day! To my dad, grandpa’s, and every other man in my family tree that made it possible for me to give live today, as well as the dads out there that made it possible for life to flourish on their own tree as well.</p>

Mosby said an autopsy ruled Gray’s death a homicide, and a direct result of fatal injury while unrestrained in police wagon. The officers, facing charges ranging from 2nd degree manslaughter to misconduct, were “grossly negligent” in ignoring his need for medical attention, she said. - <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/baltimore-unrest/freddie-gray-n351881">NBC News</a><br><br>Follow developments in the <a href="http://www.breakingnews.com/topic/baltimore-man-dies-after-arrest-april-2015/">Freddie Gray investigation </a>on BreakingNews.com.<br><br></p></blockquote>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36843192015-04-30T11:54:04-06:002015-04-30T14:15:53-06:00Mike Tyson calls Floyd Mayweather a "Little Scared Man"<p>In response to Floyd claiming he is the greatest boxer of all time, specifically greater than Ali, Tyson was asked his opinion on the statement made– <br>

Even the famous people aren’t safe, flo rida was served papers via fb concerning a legal matter back in 2011, and the courts look at it like this: e-mail wasn’t considered an effective method of delivery but now they’re also thinking of sending jury summons and more to your email and if u don’t comply they will issue a warrant and arrest you, just as in any other summons or subpoena.

If thirty-six industrialized nations around the globe are producing industrial hemp, why doesn’t the United States allow for hemp’s production as well? In 1970, industrial hemp was conflated with marijuana and deemed illegal by the Controlled Substance Act. The United States is the largest importer of industrial hemp, and it’s time to correct this mistake! <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001AD0yrlZ0SvP8p2rD-Shv7Fkijfedt4doAVN25Gh-8spCvT3OrhGSAHQfZ7DzjSRrbDGefCDQLQCDcYyL7L8n48BVocwIYjfx7WU1Ylf8trdEQiH1s4suLcDb2OA_Af6Ljm2Us39n0WdTqdROK-QY-FaZl4V5tEq_vpPJ1CdghPcb4G3VKZSEMNKbaQSEIuPgEoUNUf40AobAXIe5ymLw2snHVP_xI2FMSfr6nMsHdrfQe-_M9QPS6Ly99CA9BpQisVYYPOWUt9jPg6GFS0F-oSSdIdBOxxlqawQhi9GkbOT8GQ2vwN6Yliz331kiIgFdzbur_MBLStA=&c=r4X9TQeq1VrpasWvQ4CUqlOAEk9bGV-Gw_p3UMNFqrBefmvsnghHVA==&ch=rsOOjl4XWH2VdhMKW50t2y4vkTtXSJ_9KERGnyRKJJp3hUbPP3Yw1g==">The legalization of industrial hemp is one of the most important legislative efforts of our day. Add your name today and show your support for the legalization of industrial hemp.</a> The Industrial Hemp Farming Act (S.134), introduced by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), is a legislative effort to bring hemp home to the United States. It would remove industrial hemp from the controlled substances act and give states the opportunity to establish industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity. You already know why legalizing hemp production is so important. Industrial hemp would provide a new agricultural commodity for the American farmer, provide much-needed resources to sustainable industries like textiles and bio-plastics, and help grow our economy from the middle out. Industrial hemp is the non-psychoactive variety of cannabis sativa L, and it’s time for its production to be legalized.The Industrial Hemp Farming Act currently has six co-sponsors – we need your help now to lend a name and a voice in support of this important legislation. <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001AD0yrlZ0SvP8p2rD-Shv7Fkijfedt4doAVN25Gh-8spCvT3OrhGSAHQfZ7DzjSRrbDGefCDQLQCDcYyL7L8n48BVocwIYjfx7WU1Ylf8trdEQiH1s4suLcDb2OA_Af6Ljm2Us39n0WdTqdROK-QY-FaZl4V5tEq_vpPJ1CdghPcb4G3VKZSEMNKbaQSEIuPgEoUNUf40AobAXIe5ymLw2snHVP_xI2FMSfr6nMsHdrfQe-_M9QPS6Ly99CA9BpQisVYYPOWUt9jPg6GFS0F-oSSdIdBOxxlqawQhi9GkbOT8GQ2vwN6Yliz331kiIgFdzbur_MBLStA=&c=r4X9TQeq1VrpasWvQ4CUqlOAEk9bGV-Gw_p3UMNFqrBefmvsnghHVA==&ch=rsOOjl4XWH2VdhMKW50t2y4vkTtXSJ_9KERGnyRKJJp3hUbPP3Yw1g==">Sign our petition today supporting the Industrial Hemp Farming Act and show the overwhelming support for industrial hemp.</a>It’s time to allow industrial hemp to become a domestically produced product.

Smoking Pot Could Make You More Prone To False Memories</b></h2><p>Given that cannabis is the <a href="http://www.unodc.org/wdr2014/">most commonly used recreational drug</a> after alcohol and tobacco, it is no surprise that scientists are keen to investigate how it affects our bodies, in particular the mind. Much research has focused on whether it could have an <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3221171/">impact on our memory</a>, and the general consensus is that it can.</p><p>Now, lending further support to this notion, a new investigation has found that cannabis users are more prone to false memories. Additionally, after scanning participants’ brains, they found that pot smokers also showed reduced activity in areas involved in memory processing, further suggesting the drug can compromise memory. The work has been published in <a href="http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/mp201536a.html">Molecular Psychiatry</a>.</p><p>We all know that forgetting is frustratingly commonplace, but did you know that our brain can also do the opposite, adding in memories that never actually took place? These incorrect recollections are called <a href="http://psychology.about.com/od/findex/g/false-memory-definition.htm">false memories</a>, and they can vary from minor fabrications, like believing you left your shoes by the front door, to major fallacies such as believing you were abused during childhood. These fake or altered memories are the result of the fact that memory formation is a <a href="http://www.uab.cat/web/newsroom/news-detail/cannabis-consumers-show-greater-susceptibility-to-false-memories-1345668003610.html?noticiaid=1345684009692">progressive</a>, malleable process that is therefore subject to distortion.</p><p>Although these are actually fairly common, especially of childhood events as people often repeatedly describe them in slightly different ways, they are observed <a href="http://www.uab.cat/web/newsroom/news-detail/cannabis-consumers-show-greater-susceptibility-to-false-memories-1345668003610.html?noticiaid=1345684009692">more frequently</a> in certain neurological or psychiatric disorders. And given the fact that some <a href="http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/teenage-pot-users-show-poor-long-term-memory-adults">studies</a> have shown that cannabis use is associated with alterations in the region of our brain that is involved in memory formation, the hippocampus, scientists wondered whether false memories may also be more common in cannabis users.</p><p>To investigate this further, researchers from the <a href="http://www.uab.cat/web/newsroom/news-detail/cannabis-consumers-show-greater-susceptibility-to-false-memories-1345668003610.html?noticiaid=1345684009692">Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona</a> and the Bellvitge Institute for Biomedical Research enrolled 16 heavy cannabis users, defined as using it daily for at least two years, and matched them with a control group who had used the drug less than 50 times in their life and were free of psychiatric and neurological conditions. They then subjected the participants to a memory test in which participants were asked to learn a series of words. After a few minutes, the volunteers were presented with the words again, but the researchers had also added in extras, some of which were related in meaning, whereas others were completely unrelated. Participants were then asked to recall which words were on the original list.</p><p>The team found that, compared with the controls, cannabis users were much more likely to falsely identify new, related words as ones that had appeared on the original list, suggesting that they have a greater susceptibility to false memories. Furthermore, MRI brain scans revealed that cannabis users had reduced activity in areas known to be involved in memory processing, attention and performance monitoring. Interestingly, the participants had actually abstained from smoking cannabis for one month before the study began, suggesting a long-lasting compromise of both memory and the control mechanisms involved in reality monitoring, the researchers write.</p><p>Although the study was small, it does add to the growing body of evidence that smoking cannabis could be affecting our memory. However, the investigation should be followed up with a larger number of participants, and possibly also occasional users, to make the findings more watertight. </p><p><br></p><p>READ MORE <a href="http://www.iflscience.com/brain/smoking-pot-could-make-you-more-prone-false-memories">HERE</a></p>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36745662015-04-23T19:36:53-06:002015-04-23T22:46:04-06:00KNOTHEAD TV<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiMEl67mVTU3cau3VUpzy9Q/videos">KNOTHEAD TV</a>: <blockquote class="link_og_blockquote">Focusing on hardcore, underground, and independent music.</blockquote>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36745672015-04-23T19:31:17-06:002021-11-09T07:30:52-07:00THIS IS CORDELL DRAKE - VOICE OF THE NORTH WESTThis guy is as...<iframe width="400" height="225" id="youtube_iframe" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w46UThE8A5M?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=http://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br><p>THIS IS CORDELL DRAKE - VOICE OF THE NORTH WEST</p><p>This guy is as real as they come, I’ve had the pleasure of working with him over the last few years… there is one of his latest releases “Do what it Do”</p><p>Listen/Watch NOW!</p>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36719222015-04-22T11:12:51-06:002017-01-18T08:29:39-07:00TEACHER SUFFERS PTSD AFTER REALISTIC SCHOOL SHOOTING...<img src="//40.media.tumblr.com/7bee5114424f9bef1b5513dad79bba53/tumblr_nn7x5gnW591u0r0qbo1_500.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /><br><br><p>TEACHER SUFFERS PTSD AFTER REALISTIC SCHOOL SHOOTING DRILL!!!</p><p><br></p><p>Since the Sandy Hook tragedy a few years ago, police and school officials have been working together to coordinate ultra-realistic “active shooter drills” in cities across the nation. But one of the teachers who was forced to participate in these drills says she has been left with lasting psychological scars that were simply unnecessary.</p><p>Two years ago, a a man wearing googles and carrying an assault rifle burst into her classroom. Teacher Linda McLean wondered if she was really going to die.</p><p>You see, McLean, like all of the other teachers, had no idea that this “training scenario” was fake.</p><p>She thought about her family, her grandchild on the way. Her life flashed before her eyes. She even saw a pistol (which turned out to be fake) on the floor, and wondered if she should pick it up and go after the gunman.</p><p>But before she could decide what to do, a gunman, dressed all in black, put a gun to her head, pulled the trigger and said “you’re dead.”</p><p>Afterwards, all of the faculty was gathered together and briefed on their reactions. Remember, none of them were told this was going to happen, and none of them consented to be a part of it.</p><p>McLean, 56, and other teachers at Pine Eagle Charter School in Halfway, Oregon, were subjected to psychological cruelty at the hands of the school administrators back in April 2013.</p><p>The newly filed federal lawsuit by McLean says that they were never warned that all of this was a just drill. As this happened only four months after the events at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, she had no reason to imagine it was anything other than very real.</p><p>McLean is suing the school district, the principal, several members of the school board and Alpine Alarm Communications and Construction LLC as well as Shawn Thatcher, the school’s safety supervisor, who pointed the gun at her head.</p><p>She has been off work since the incident and is seeking lost wages, medical costs and punitive damages. Another teacher injured their arm during the exercise, and a third urinated on themselves.</p><p>
John Minarich, the vice chair of the district’s school board and the owner of Alpine Alarms, helped carry out this drill. He was in the hallways with a rifle as well. In this case a private company was contracted by the city to conduct this drill, while in other communities police themselves have been involved.

At the time, Dre alleged that he was owed more than $1.2 million in unpaid artist-producer royalties, $1.1 million from digital sales and more than $600,00 for mechanical royalties.</p><p>“For years, Death Row Records forgot about Dre when they continued to distribute his music digitally and combined his hits with weaker Death Row tracks in an attempt to elevate the stature of their other artists,” King wrote in a statement. “We are gratified that the federal court has unambiguously declared that Death Row has no right to engage in such tactics, and must hold all proceeds from these illicit distributions in trust for our client.”</p>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36672322015-04-20T09:28:29-06:002015-04-20T11:33:24-06:00SPEEDOM - LISTEN HERE w/LYRICS - EMINEM & TECH N9NE<p><iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/201674611&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false"></iframe><br>

This mother and son were previously living in Colorado where weed is legal, and when a student corrected the Kansas teacher who was stating that Marijuana has NO MEDICINAL VALUE… She then called the police/DFS/CPS and they proceeded to remove him from the classroom and furthermore, from his mothers custody. <br>
Confused? You should be… The kid simply corrected the teacher by saying cannabis has medicinal properties, and that was enough justification turn this family’s life completely inside out!<br>
They attack any form of debate about the topic as to control what future kids will think… Is it worn to have an open mind? Would the kid be arrested for speaking about alcohol??? <br>

THIS is what word-play is all about… a lot of hip-hop artists now a days think rhyming the last word of every line is as talented as it gets, and <a href="http://www.Eminem.com">EMINEM</a> proves time and time again that there is more to a verse than what most offer– Listen to the amount of times one sound is rhymed back to back, then add in the metaphors, sprinkle a touch of name-dropping & the fact that you never know when exactly the verse is gonna stop and you can chalk this up as a masterpiece of sorts…</p><p>Usually i’m the type who focuses on lyrical content over delivery, but when its done right, like in this case– a bar of creativity gets set (at least for me) and it makes me inspired, so I hope this track inspires YOU to step YOUR game up too (if you’re a hip-hop artist that is) </p><p>You don’t even have to be an EMINEM fan to appreciate this, listen now!</p>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36617602015-04-16T10:18:11-06:002015-04-22T08:49:49-06:00CITIZENS GUIDE TO ENCOUNTERING THE POLICE

<p>Being pulled over can be one of the most nerve racking things that can happen to a person… Police can be like sharks in the water while we all feel like little fish, and part of that is because they are trained to deal with the public, while the average citizen is NOT trained in how to deal with the police… At most we are told to comply and shut up- but that is not only the WORST thing you could do, it’s not what out forefathers had in mind <br>
This video use to be my “employee training video” for anyone who sold weed for me back in my early 20’s and I still believe that it is a very important video to watch/study closely. If you get pulled over, stopped on the street walking, or if they come to your house knocking, This video explains what to DO and NOT DO in each circumstance– I HIGHLY recommend you watch this even if you don’t live a illegal lifestyle – it’s your responsibility as a citizen to know and exercise your rights!!!</p>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36602322015-04-15T13:13:44-06:002015-04-15T17:15:53-06:00Man wielding machete dies in officer-involved shooting<a href="http://www.koco.com/news/police-investigating-reported-shooting-in-newalla/32332484">Man wielding machete dies in officer-involved shooting</a>: <h1>Machete wielding senior Shot Dead - Justified?</h1>
<p>Around 7:30pm on 4-12-15, police responded to a call about man with a machete near Sleepy Hollow and Misty Glen drives, officials said. Richard Dale Weaver, 83, reportedly was making threats toward neighbors and passing vehicles. An officer ordered Weaver to put down the machete, but he did not comply, officials said. Weaver raised his machete and made an aggressive move toward the officer… Now, if the officer here was not guilty of using excessive force, then I don’t know what IS excessive? The officer made NO statement regaurding any attempted use of tazer or simply, backing away from the suspect! He took this senior citizen’s life and acted as the judge, jury, and executioner… death penalty for the mentally ill and intollarable to police task force… share this story so Richard gets some justice with the knowladge of his murder… because it boils down to this folks, you dont bring a gun to a knife fight when you are trained in many alternate methods of diffusing the situation! (tazer, mace, walk away, call backup, etc.) oh, and wheres the body cam footage? oh yeah, we are just gonna take the officeers word for it…</p><br><br>Brian Meyerstag:brianmeyers.net,2005:Post/36594902015-04-15T10:35:26-06:002015-04-15T12:04:52-06:00"Everybody is a genius.

Didn’t ya just need that ONE person to come around and tell you everything will be alright? Well, you’re not alone… <a href="https://www.facebook.com/andysouthonisaLLogy">aLLogy</a> of Great Falls, MT. has written this refreshing track called “It’ll be OK”, which talks about a man who wakes up in a bad mood after a long night and a series events that were just plain bad luck… bottom line when his girl supports him and reminds him that “It’ll be ok” he rememebers that life is just a roller coaster of sorts and in the end she “keeps him sane”. Supporting a family takes a man who has a job and in todays market it can be hard to find whats right for you, but once again… in the end, his wife’s “security blanket” and a good home cooked meal can give a man superpowers in such a depressing world… No one wants their significant other to feel pain, and with this mellow beat and harmonic vocals… you will always have an media outlet like this to pop in the deck when you reach that breaking point.</p>
