As 2010 quickly approaches, I can’t help but think what kind of year we should expect: will it be more economic turmoil, will it be more democrat vs republican, left vs right, more global warming alarmists vs deniers, more crises in the middle east, more drought, more floods? Probably.

The world will quickly change, yet stay the same. This is in the grand scheme of things. However, we can do a lot to better our lives and change the lives of those around us. We can continue to seek truth and inform others of the same. I believe that the only way the West will return to prosperity and not get left behind by Asia is to go back to becoming more productive. We need to work harder, we need to save more, we need to push our governments to drastically reduce taxes by becoming more responsible and trimming government programs. Government programs, while beneficial in the very short term, drain revenue and force governments to inflate their currencies, rack up debt, and worst of all increase taxes. Taxes are smothering the economies of the developed world. Taxes are making it hard for our entrepreneurs to set up shop and work on their ideas and innovate. Without this innovation and drive, we can no longer employ our populations in stable, productive, and useful jobs to produce THINGS we can sell to the rest of the world. We need to get our competitive edge back and return to a manufacturing base – this can only happen if the governments get out of the way of small business potential.

This is why I believe that 2010 should mark a start to when we begin to produce quality. We need to encourage the manufacturing and consumption of quality goods that benefit us and the world. With savings and subsequent investment in R&D we can focus on being known once again for making quality goods that will stand out in the global marketplace.

We are really excited to begin work on a variety of new glass pipes and glass bubblers in the coming weeks and months. Although it will cost us more to make these we believe that our superior product quality will stand out even more than before. We are a small business with a lot of happy customers. We do our best to make sure every single customer is happy, and to us this means: quality products, quick and free shipping world-wide, 7 days a week customer service (our customers know that we check our email at all times during the day), and the friendliest service. The bottom line is that we enjoy what we do and it shows.

That being said, enjoy the holidays and be safe and happy – and make sure to give it your all in 2010 and make every experience a quality experience with hard work and passion

There are tons of articles going around about how the American Medical Association is ending it’s hard stance on Marijuana because of the urging and research of many doctors around the US. Currently, Marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 substance, so in the eyes of the government it is on the same level as hard drugs such as Cocaine and heroine. Most of us, especially those reading this blog, know this to be totally weird and absurd. However, thanks to the research and honesty of doctors such as Dr. Sunil Aggarwal, who has taken up the cause to spread truth about marijuana, we now have hope that the prosecution of innocent marijuana users in California and other states may one day soon cease.

Perhaps this decision also has to do with the fact that current Obama administration does not have marijuana on it’s list of important issues at the moment. Without government bias and interference we may be lucky to see more research to come out that shows what many of us believe strongly to be true: that marijuana in reasonable doses can be used to treat many illnesses and chronic conditions as well as pain, anxiety, and depression.

That being said, I wanted to slip another thing in: we have a new special deal on our glass bubblers until this Sunday night – buy any of our beautiful glass bubblers over $50 and we will ship you a glass chillum free with it; just mention this post in the comments section of your order form
