They were engineered to cure and store cannabis, and they come in various sizes, some of which can hold up to two pounds 0. Controlling humidity is a little more difficult, but humidity storage or other vacuum-sealed containers allow consumers to protect their cannabis from damaging humidity without the hassle of maintaining dehumidifiers.
When it comes to storing, it's all about location, location, location. Keeping cannabis in a dark and cool location is optimal. Find a spot in a pantry or under the stairs to keep marijuana safe from light and heat, both of which greatly hasten cannabis' natural degradation. The first step to creating your own joint is breaking up your cannabis with a grinder. Ground cannabis burns slowly and evenly, making it a staple in joint creation. The second step is folding a filter.
Filters keep the cannabis out of your mouth and in the joint, protect your lips from charring, and keep the joint from overheating and overburning. Carefully fold the filter paper in a zigzag formation, and when you reach the halfway point and the filter looks like an accordion, roll the remaining straightened filter around the zigzag accordion half to secure everything in place. Be sure not to fold or roll the filter too tightly, otherwise nothing will make its way through.
You can also use other types of filters, such as glass tips. Once the cannabis is ground and the filter is ready, the third step is shaping the joint. Grab a pen or pencil and gently wrap the rolling paper around its midsection and seal it, like a letter, with saliva. If you choose to use a chopstick to roll the paper, your joint will appear more tapered and cone-like.
Once the paper has been rolled into a cylinder or cone, slide the folded filter through one open end until it's flush with the other. The filter should expand within the rolled paper to create a tight seal. Now that the body of the joint is complete, the fourth step is packing the ground cannabis into the joint.
Grab that single sheet of paper and fold it in half; then, tap the ground cannabis into a pile along the fold. This allows you to funnel the ground cannabis into the joint.
Funnel some cannabis in, gently tamp it down with a pen, pencil, or chopstick, and repeat until the joint is tightly packed with bud. But be sure to leave a small pinch of excess rolling paper toward the tip. The final step in the process is pinching and twisting the excess rolling paper into what will essentially function as the joint's wick. Now that you've brushed up on your understanding of prerolls, treat yourself to the magnificent joint before you.
You don't need to do anything else but enjoy the preroll as you would a regular joint. Prerolls can be either regular or infused joints. Infused prerolls are joints with a concentrate, usually kief or shatter, either in or on the surface. Concentrates are more potent than flower, so the addition of concentrates increases the overall potency of the joint. Hickey Trudy L. Button Rosalie E. McGrath Geoffrey K. Penney Neil F.

Hatfield Sheri H. Wicks Mark R. Andrews Raelene L. Box , St. We believe in learning through play and the inclusion of all children. Sometimes women are accomplices, but rarely are women the molesters. They are often articulate and well-educated. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and they can be very rich or out of work.
But they have one thing in common: they want your child. Most of us are sickened at the thought of an adult having sexual relations with a child, but to be able to protect our children, we must get into the mind of the predator. First of all, predators often don t see themselves as predators. They see themselves as loving partners with the children they molest. To them this isn t rape, it s a seduction. And, as with any seduction, it s a slow and painstaking process.
Predators have been known to wait more than two years, collecting data on a particular child, before striking. That s what makes them hard to detect. They don t appear to your child to be dangerous. An FBI agent who shared a panel with me recently said it best: Before the Internet, these people had to get physically close to your children.
They had to lurk near schoolyards, or playgrounds. Kids would see them. Adults would see them. It was a dangerous situation to be in for them, because everyone would notice an adult male lurking around children. They often had to take jobs and volunteer positions that allowed them to work with children in a position of trust in order to reach their victims.
Now, however, the personal risks the pedophiles had to expose themselves to in order to be around children are gone. Now they can be one of the kids and hang out with your kids online without exposing themselves. As long as they don t say or do something in the public room that makes them stand out, they can stay there forever, taking notes. And, many of them do. They have been known to create large databases on children. They track the children s likes and dislikes.
They track information such as whose parents are divorced, who doesn t like their father s new girlfriend or their mother s boyfriend, or who likes computer games or a particular rock group. Kids often share personal information about their lives in chatrooms or on profiles. This is one reason why they shouldn t. The more the predator knows about your child, the more easily they can groom them or appear to be their soulmate. Some cyberpredators known as travelers to law enforcement seek out the good kids, the smart ones, the ones who are not street-smart and are from sheltered suburban or rural families.
Many of our children match that profile perfectly. Others, however, target or are targeted by popular, super achiever, risk preferring teens. It took the death of a young teen from the US, Christina Long, before we realized that many of the incidents involved teens who did not fit the loner profile. What we learned was that these kids never report any attacks or exploitation. The only time we hear of these cases is when the teen is kidnapped or killed.
All are vulnerable. Imagine a predatorial pedophile sitting and taking notes on this child, and using this information to lure them later. Would your child fall for this? Most, unfortunately, would. This one is more typical of a boy victim and predator communication than a girl victim communication. Child: I hate my mom! I know it s her fault that my parents are getting divorced. Predator: I know. My parents are getting divorced, too. Child: We never have any money anymore, either.
Every time I need something, she says the same thing: We can t afford it. When my parents were together, I could buy things. Now I can t. Predator: Me too. I hate that! Child: I waited for six months for the new computer game to come out.
My mom promised to buy it for me when it came out. She promised! Now it s out. Can I buy it? We don t have enough money! I hate my mom! Predator: Oh! I m so sorry! I got it! I have this really kewl uncle who buys me things all the time. He s really rich. Child: You re sooooo lucky. I wish I had a rich and kewl uncle.
Predator: Hey! I got an idea! I ll ask my uncle if he ll buy you one too I bet he d say yes. Child: Really!? Predator: BRB [cybertalk for be right back ] I ll go and call him. He said okay. He s gonna buy you the game! Child: Wow, really? I can t believe it!!! Predator: Where do you live?
Child: I live in Nova Scotia. What about you? Predator: I live in New Brunswick. So does my uncle. Nova Scotia isn t far. Child: Great! Predator: Is there a mall near you? We can meet there. Child: Okay. I live near the Maritime Mall.
Predator: I ve heard of that. No prob. What about Saturday? Child: Kewl. We ll meet you there at noon. Predator: In front of the computer game store. My uncle s name is George. He s really kewl. Child: Great You re so lucky to have a rich and kewl uncle.
Saturday arrives, and the child goes to the mall and meets an adult outside the computer game store. He identifies himself as Uncle George and explains that his nephew is already at the McDonald s waiting for them. He comes out and hands it to the child, who is immediately neutralized and delighted. Stranger-danger warnings are not applicable. This isn t a stranger - he s Uncle George, and if any proof was needed, the computer game is it. He gets into Uncle George s car without hesitation to meet his friend at McDonald s.
The rest is reported on the 6 o clock news. It s disgusting. It makes us sick to our stomachs, but it happens. Not very often, but often enough that you need to be forewarned. Several thousand cyberpredator cases are opened each year by law enforcement agents in the United States alone.
And there have been several high profile cases right here in New Brunswick. But no matter how often it happens, even once is too often. Knowing how they operate and the tricks of the trade will help us teach our child how to avoid being victimized.
Each case differs, but the predators tend to use the same general tactics. Aside from the bait and switch scam discussed above, they often attempt to seduce a child. They want the child to want them. The Script - How They Operate Online They begin by striking up a conversation with the child, trying to create a relationship of trust and friendship. They often masquerade as another child or teenager, typically of the opposite sex, unless the child has indicated homosexual interests. The child may or may not know the seducer s real age by the time they meet face-to-face.
Phone calls usually start at this point. Sometimes gifts are sent to the child as well, which may include a Polaroid camera and film. Once they have broken down barriers of caution, they begin introducing sexual topics gradually, often with the use of child pornography to give the child the impression that other children are regularly involved in sexual activities. Then they begin to approach the child s own sexuality and curiosity, by asking questions and giving them assignments, like wearing special underwear, sending sexually suggestive photos of themselves to the pedophile, or performing certain sexual acts.
These assignments eventually broaden to the exchange of sexually explicit photographs using the Polaroid, cell phone camera or digital camera or videos of the child. He may also have divulged his true age or an age closer to his actual age at this point. Why It Works All the lectures we have given our children from the time they are very young about not talking to strangers aren t applicable online, where everyone is a stranger.
A large part of the fun online is talking to people you ve never met. In addition, our children s stranger-danger defenses are not triggered when other kids are involved. The warnings apply only to adult strangers, not to other children. If any of us walked up to a child in a playground and tried to strike up a conversation, they would ignore us and probably run away.
But if an unknown eleven-yearold came up to another eleven-year-old in the same playground, they d be playing in ten seconds flat! That s how the pedophiles get in under our kids strangerdanger radar - they pretend to be other kids. And children often believe what they read and hear. They know things about the predator because they believe what he told them.
They also believe what they read about him in his staged profile, which supports what he told them. So it s not just true, it s confirmed.
There are many stages at which the pedophile can be thwarted by an observant parent. In addition, children with healthy friendships and a strong, open, and trusting relationship with their parents are less likely to fall victim to pedophiles online. Pedophiles typically prey on a child s loneliness. They feed the child s complaints about her home life - creating an "us-versus-them" atmosphere. Your mom is so mean to you! I don t know why she won t let you.
Fill in the blank with whatever we try and limit: makeup, malls, concerts, etc. This atmosphere does two things: It creates a distance between the child and her parents, at the same time bringing the child into a special secret alliance with the pedophile.
You should know that boys are almost as often the victims of Internet sexual exploitation as girls are, but they report it less frequently. I have followed many cases over the last few years. In my role as WiredSafety executive director, I ve also been responsible for reporting several of these to law enforcement and for helping many families through the pain of prosecution.
Sometimes we just help the families survive what the molestation has done to them. The child isn t the only victim - entire families are torn apart in the aftermath of a molestation. Parents feel guilty for not having protected their child, siblings don t know how to treat their fellow sibling - the pain can continue for a lifetime, and even more. And, in addition to being hurt physically, the young victim's heart is broken by the betrayal of trust. E Upper Water St. It was one of the earliest reported cases of cyber-predatorial conduct, discovered in Luckily, the liaison was discovered before the girl met the man face-to-face.
But it had gone on for a year and a half before being discovered by the girl s mother. As you read the details, think about what could have been done to discover the situation earlier and how you can use these precautions to protect your children. Paul Brown, Jr. He was also unemployed, weighed over four hundred pounds, and lived in a basement.
He had accounts with several ISPs. Mary a hypothetical name for the young girl involved was twelve when her mother, a schoolteacher, bought her a computer, reportedly because Mary was having problems making friends.
When she got online, Mary posted a message on an online service, in the spring of , looking for a pen pal. In her message she described herself as a teenage girl.
Paul Brown, Jr,. Brown and Mary maintained an and telephone relationship for several months. As the relationship became more involved, they began writing letters, and Mary sent Brown a photograph.
He told her that he was living at home with his mother and was hoping to find a girlfriend. In early August, Brown asked Mary for a favor. If I sent you a roll of film, could you get one of your friends to take pictures of you in different outfits and maybe hairstyles? Makeup if you use any, and different poses. Some sexy, if possible. Baby for me. You re the best. Love Ya. Mary complied.
For the next eight months, they continued to converse and correspond, and Mary sent additional photos. Brown encouraged her with juvenile antics, such as using stickers in his letters to her saying things like Getting better all the time! In May , Brown sent Mary a special love note. Saying I love you At the age of 14 you have captured my heart and made it sing I love everything about you.
Shortly thereafter, Brown confessed to being in his twenties. He also suggested that Mary videotape herself in sexually provocative poses. She did. After Brown had reviewed her videotape, he returned it to her with instructions to redo the tape and include views of her genitalia and breasts. He later admitted to being divorced and in his thirties.
He reportedly also sent her small gifts from time to time. A few months later, in response to Brown s promise to pass copies of the tape to four members of a rock band Mary admired, she sent additional videotapes to Brown.
Brown told Mary that he knew the band members very well. Each tape sent to Brown was designated for a different member of the band and contained sexually explicit conduct. Brown apparently had also sent her his 53 size 48 underwear.
When her mother discovered the underwear, the authorities were notified. Tracing Brown through phone records, special agents of the FBI in Cleveland seized the videotapes and photos of Mary and of more than ten other teenage girls from across the country.
Mary was fourteen when this was all discovered. Brown pled guilty to enticing a minor to produce sexually explicit photos and videos and was sentenced to a little less than five years in prison the maximum penalty for a first offense. In a written statement to Brown following all of this, Mary said, I trusted you.
I thought you were my friend. There are several things that stand out in this case. One, interstate phone calls were made by Mary. Parents should always be reviewing long-distance bills for suspicious calls.
Two, Mary was lonely. These kinds of children are often the most vulnerable; a parent should be involved in their online friendships, and monitor their online lives. And, three, as hard as it is to know what our kids are doing when we re not around, especially if we are a single parent, a year and a half is a long time for a relationship to be going on undiscovered. We should spend time learning who our children s friends are, online and off. Knowing a child is lonely and has problems making friends is the first sign that the child may fall prey to a pedophile or cyber- predator.
Predators can spot lonely children. They can also spot kids who are new online and may not yet know all the rules. Broken homes and homes where the child feels leftout are often the place where a predator can easily find an online victim. Most teens, when surveyed, admit to having been propositioned online. But what may be obvious to a cyberstreetsmart kid may not be so obvious to a child not yet familiar with cyberspace. Pedophiles befriend these kids and patiently build trust and a relationship looking toward the day when they can meet face-to-face.
Encourage children to make online friends, but learning about their online friends is an important way to avoid these secret relationships. Education is important in avoiding this danger, too. Had Mary been forewarned about how pedophiles operate online, she may have been more attentive to how old Brown sounded on the phone, and been more aware of his classic tactics. So is control over incoming and outgoing information when younger children are involved, using technology blockers, monitors, and filters.
These kinds of situations can be avoided if we plan ahead, educate and communicate with our children, and keep our eyes open. Teaching our teens and preteens that that cute yearold boy may not be cute Check out our new print public service announcements at WiredSafety.

Supplying the hospitality and janitorial trades. However we now know that this can cause more harm than actually equip children with a safety strategy to help protect themselves from harm. Stranger" is an abstract concept and difficult for children to understand. This "stranger" approach to safety becomes confusing to children as adults interact and speak to "strangers" everyday. Actually, research indicates that children are much more likely to be abducted or sexually exploited by someone they know or with whom they have come into contact.
Therefore, the "stranger" theory will not usually protect children from victimization. There are situations in which children will need to approach a "stranger" for help. So moreimportantly, they must learn how to make safe choices about the type of individual they should approach in an emergency situation. Direct instruction on how to listen to their instincts when they are warned of danger is also imperative. This pertains to root safety strategy: Trust Your Instincts.
This should be combined with their instruction on how to respond safely in situations and to communicate a message of "I mean business. In most cases this is appropriate. However, they must be taught that if their safety is at risk or if they are feeling uncomfortable, it is okay to respond without concern for the feelings of the individual.
This also heightens awareness about the messages adults communicate to children and their expectations of how to interact with adults. Many parents expect their children to express actions of affection toward particular adults even when their child is uncomfortable doing so.
Adults need to keep the lines of communication open and actively listen to children. How to Prevent Sexual Exploitation Know where your children are at all times. Be familiar with their friends and daily activities. Be sensitive to changes in your children's behavior; they are a signal that you should sit down and talk to your children about what caused the changes.
A more effective safety strategy is teach children to make sure that their parents know where they are going before they go anywhere with anyone. To reinforce this and other key safety concepts, the Kids in the Know educational curriculum introduces 7 Root Safety Strategies throughout the program.
This one 'If you're asked to go and your parents don't know, shout NO! Children must learn how to be assertive and to remove themselves from any situation with anyone who makes them feel uncomfortable, scared or hurt. This pertains to root safety strategy: Shout NO! Be alert to a teenager or adult who is paying an unusual amount of attention to your children or giving them inappropriate or expensive gifts.
Teach your children to trust their own feelings and assure them that they have the right to say NO to what they sense is wrong. Listen carefully to your children's fears and be supportive in all your discussions with them. Teach your children that no one should approach them or touch them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. If someone does, they should tell the parents immediately.
B Duckworth Street P. Box St. Bonavista, NL. You should note that some of these behaviors may have other explanations, but it is important to assist your child no matter what the cause of these symptoms or behaviors. Adapted from Just in Case Parental guidelines in case you are considering daycare. It is normal for children to fear telling others - especially parents.
Be careful NOT to discuss the incident in front of people who do not need to know what happened. In the future it will be vitally important that the child believe that you are sympathetic, understanding, supportive, and optimistic so that he or she will feel comfortable in making additional disclosures and in discussing feelings.
Remember often we do not realize that a child who has been sexually exploited is also physically injured. Let the professionals make an independent judgment about treatment. To ignore the incident, to "sweep it under the rug," to act as if it did not happen is not going to help the child deal with the exploitation. In deciding what counsellors to use, look for someone who is experienced in cases of sexual victimization.
Ask about the number of children they have counseled. Excerpted from Just in case Donald Warr F. Find out how to use this patented technology to build at 8 Gullage Ave. Box Shoal Hr. For these purposes, child sex offenders are divided into the two categories of Preferential and Opportunistic or Situational Child Molesters.
Preferential Child Molester Preferential Child Molesters have a definite sexual preference for children. Their sexual fantasies and erotic imagery focus on children. They have sex with children not because of some situational stress or insecurity but because they are sexually attracted to and prefer children.
If this individual does not act on his urges, then he is not a child molester. A preferential child molester is a pedophile. Opportunistic or Situational Child Molester Situational Child Molesters do not have a true sexual preference for children, but engage in sex with children for varied and complex reasons.
This type of molester may engage in sex with a child, ranging from a once-in-a-lifetime act to a long-term pattern of behavior. The more long-term the behavior is, the more difficult it is to distinguish from a preferential molester. Members of lower socioeconomic groups tend to be over-represented among situational child molesters. An opportunistic child molester is not classified as a pedophile. Adolescent Offenders An area of increasing attention is that of adolescent offenders.
This type of offender can fit the characteristics of the preferential or situational child molester. Adolescent or younger offenders should always be viewed as past or current victims of sexual abuse.
Just as one adult courts another during a dating process, the pedophile seduces children over a period of time by gradually lowering their sexual inhibitions. Sometimes the molester will tickle, wrestle, or hug the child in the presence of others first, adding legitimacy to the activity that will occur later in private. Often a child feels guilty or ashamed of the abuse. Children may feel that a short amount of uncomfortable feeling is worth the amount of attention and affection and perceived care they receive from the molester.
Strategies of Sex Offenders Child Predators use a number of techniques to lure children from their homes, schools, or elsewhere. There are, however, a number of common themes that can be watched for. These include the following: Grooming Pedophiles often 'groom' their child victims prior to and during victimization. This involves three general steps - targeting, non-sexual touching, and sexual touching. Targeting Stage Many preferential child molesters have a "6th sense" as to who can be more easily victimized They often target neglected, needy children, often from troubled homes.
Parents can be 'groomed' as well. Question: How does the abuse occur? Answer: Abuse occurs in a wide range of situations and settings. For long-term abusers, often, the child molester will "court" the child with attention, Box , Stn A St.
