The political environment, industrial policy, licensing policy, foreign exchange regulations, banking policy, technological development and social change form the framework within which an enterprise has to work. It is for these reasons that all business plans must be based on the immediate environment.

...Money for Munchies: Drug Testing for Food Stamps Abigail Jensen Colorado Technical University Money for Munchies: Drug Testing for Food Stamps It’s 10:45pm and I’m getting ready to close. The last customer comes in, and grabs a couple handfuls of junk food. As he carelessly drops his candy, chips, and pop on the counter, he hands me his EBT card. EBT being the electronic version of food stamps, he is spending money that the government gives him for groceries. Being trained to be professional, I don’t say a thing ring up his items, and politely say good night as he quickly shuffles out the door. I have a hard time believing he has children that are still up at this hour, so he isn’t giving them a treat. Not to judge, but we are also trained to look for signs of intoxication. Alcohol has a distinct smell, so does marijuana. He smelled a lot like marijuana. If you can afford to buy said drugs, you have the money to buy groceries without government help. Drug testing should be mandatory if you want government help. There are people who make enough money to buy drugs, but somehow don’t make enough to make buy groceries for their families. I believe that drug testing should be mandatory for government assistance. It isn’t an invasion of your privacy; it’s a precautionary step to ensure that you deserve government assistance. I know many people who don’t do drugs and use their EBT for good. However, there are many people who use their EBT for munchies, while high on drugs...

...Ryley Hughes Psychology 503 Extra Credit Answers A. (1) The interaction between THC and the cannabinoid receptor affects learning, coordination, problem solving and short-term memory. Basically, this interaction causes the communication between cells to slow down. It is an agonist at cannabinoid receptors. When THC binds to a neuron it causes the postsynaptic neuron to be hyperpolarized because THC is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. The natural agonist for this receptor is anandamide, which is metabotropic. The physiological consequences of THC binding to those receptors include an increase in heart rate, bloodshot eyes, dry mouth, the munchies, low testosterone, suppression of immune system, analgesia, decrease in body temperature and luteinizing hormone suppression....

...people ever try” (PBS, Religion and Ethics, October-22-2010, legalizing-marijuana). For over 75 years people have fought to keep it illegal and to make it legal. The war on cannabis has cost Americans tons in tax money, and forged a shady black market. Lucky Severson: “national studies indicate that enforcing marijuana laws costs American taxpayers over $8 billion annually. The cost of pot arrests in California is over a billion a year.” In a time where we are stressed over the economy wouldn’t it make sense to save us this kind of change? Ethics How can we as a society endorse alcohol, a substance that has proven to take lives if they drink too much, and then shun marijuana, which in extreme cases of smoking to much can cause severe munchies not death. Now we have to ask ourselves is it illegal because of its recreational use or the potential uses that can replace other products. We have barely scratched the surface of what we can do with this plant. Remember being little and being told that when life hands us lemons make lemonade. Well Mother Nature has handed us lemons and we have just been wasting the potential for the last 100 years. Making marijuana legal will not cause the entire nation to be a bunch of stoners, if this was true then we would already...

...So far, our theory is rather cold and mechanical. What about feelings? Well, they're there, to some degree, in every interaction. Imagine this: In the middle of the night, you get a bad case of the munchies. So you leave your bed and head for the fridge. It's very dark, but you know your apartment like the back of your hand, so you don't bother with the lights. The coffee table is in the middle of the room and you anticipate its presence and maneuver around it. Perhaps you reach out your hand to touch the edge to confirm your anticipation. You're almost there - five more feet to the fridge - when WHAM! you walk into a solid six foot...something: The unanticipated! What do you feel at that moment? Perhaps fear, surprise, perhaps sheer terror. Whatever it is, it is rather unpleasant. Let's call it distress. You are, at the same time, busy "generating anticipations" -- making guesses about the nature of the beast, taking actions that might alleviate some of your fears, dashing for the light switch. The lights come on... you're expecting a sex-crazed psycho-killer.... And lo and behold, it's the fridge. You cleaned behind it for the first time in 30 years and left it pulled out. Now how do you feel? Perhaps you feel relief, a sensation of pleasant resolution. You heave a great sigh, perhaps laugh. Things make sense again. Life is on the right path again. Let's call it delight. (Note that you might still feel some negative emotion as well, as soon as the initial relief is behind...

...when given a choice between two acts, basically it states that the worth of something is determined by how useful it is to society. Discussion A very controversial topic of discussion nowadays is whether or not marijuana should be legalized or not. I think that the utilitarian theory could and should be applied to resolve this issue. Over the past couple of years, different states have been taking votes to legalize marijuana. Some states are already legalized for a person to both possess and use it, and there’s many more states in the process of having marijuana legal. Compared to alcoholic drinks, marijuana is basically harmless. Marijuana is known to make people happy and have a sudden appetite to eat, which some call “havracism. munchies”, but in the case of alcohol, I’ve witnessed how it makes some people angry, violent, incoherent, and unable to control their balance. Many people have been killed in car accidents, due to one of the drivers being intoxicated with alcohol. Also, persistent,constant drinking of alcohol, can cause problems with one’s liver after so long. In comparison between the two (marijuana and alcohol), when you weigh the pros and cons of them both, it seems that marijuana produces the higher utility out of the two. With alcohol, the consequences of one's actions and behavior can produce negative and unhappy results, which is one of the main reasons that some people can not understand why alcohol is legal and marijuana isn't. Utilitarianism is considered...

They can be found lounging on someone’s couch in the middle of the day with a bong in their hand, or in the kitchen raiding the refrigerator and cabinets for munchies. Maybe they are staring blankly at a white wall while having the deepest conversation about life and the world around them. Regardless, they’ll never remember what they talked about. With the legalization of marijuana well on its way, many people are deciding to come out of the pot box. According to Gallup, 53% of Americans say marijuana should be made legal. However, when Gallup first asked the question, they found that just...
