The party has come up with a youth platform That targets the 4 million youngsters Who Will vote for the first time on June 7 proposing to decriminalize the use of marijuana, build 1,000 kilometers of bicycle paths in the country's main urban areas and Provide free wi - fi in public spaces.

The party's youth secretary, Sergio Leyva, Introduced the campaign, "My first time, of" Which Consist of seven Proposals.

I Explained That are Currently 146,000 youths in prison for possession of marijuana in Amounts Between five and 30 grams. I've holds Mexico's lack of regulation on marijuana use at fault and factotum factotum believes Appropriate legislation would "take a progressive step, as They Have done in the Netherlands, Portugal and Uruguay."

I pointed out That it costs the same to imprison youth as it does to Provide Them With higher education.

The campaign calls for the creation of a truth commission Also to determine the whereabouts of 27,000 people Who Have Disappeared in Mexico, of Which 70% are youths. The party plans to this-through to law Accomplished That would create a national commission on kidnappings.

Free Internet in public areas using Existing infrastructure is another campaign promise, Along With lobbying for the construction of 1,000 kilometers of bike paths in 59 urban zones.

The youth secretary Described as the PRD's Proposals Explained They Were progressive and developed after polling 10,000 young people in at Least 26 states. Said Leyva youth, as well as the rest of society, are Concerned about a wide range of topics, from the environment to security.

That ADMITTED Navarrete Within the PRD there are differing opinions Regarding the regulation of the use of marijuana but factotum factotum believes it is Necessary to open up the discussion on a national level. Also I have pointed out That no other party has made Such a Proposal as part of STI campaign promises.

I've Said It's Necessary to open up the discussion about marijuana's regulation and not allow it to be "swept under the rug."

Suggested Navarrete to young Voters That "their first time shouldnt be with just anybody."

Dehydration

Traveling—and flying especially—can make you dehydrated. You may be walking more, or simply forgetting to drink the same amount of water you sip when you're sitting at your desk. Dehydration is not only unhealthy, it is a major cause of bad breath, too. So be sure to drink plenty of water when you're on the road. (Coffee doesn't count—caffeinated drinks also contribute to bad breath.)

Your Shoes

Wearing the same shoes every day (which is common while traveling, due to limited space), can increase foot odor. Try wearing one pair and packing another, so you can switch off and give one pair time to air out. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help, as can applying foot powder.

Stress Sweat

Traveling can be stressful. Unfortunately, your body can react to rough situations with sweat. Making matters even worse, stress-induced sweating is smellier than regular perspiration. When you're anxious, your body produces sweat from the apocrine glands, which attracts more odor-causing bacteria than sweat caused by heat or workouts. Try packing a stronger deodorant for your trip, especially if you anticipate stressful situations.

  

You're Sick

It's easy to get sick while traveling: You can get run down, plus planes are germ factories. If you've picked up a cold (or are suffering from allergies), you may find yourself with a stuffy nose and bad breath. That foul breath is caused by post nasal drip in the back of your mouth. Staying healthy is always the first line of defense, but if you are sick, be sure to up your teeth-brushing/mouth-washing/gum-chewing game.

  

Different Diet

Eating a new type of cuisine can mess with your body odor, turning it from sweet to sour. Watch out for bad B.O. culprits like cruciferous vegetables, red meat, fish, and processed junk foods, all of which can cause a bad olfactory turn.

Skipping Meals

Maybe you're too busy to eat or just trying to save money by skipping lunch while traveling in an expensive destination. You might wind up with hunger pains and bad breath, as not eating can cause a breakdown in body chemicals known as Ketoacidosis, which results in stinky smells. Beat this by packing some healthy snacks to bring with you on your trip.

  

Overindulging In Local Drinks

There's nothing wrong with wanting to try one or two of the special local cocktails or brews while you're traveling. But if you drink too much alcohol, you might still smell like the bar the next morning. According to Men's Health, stouts and other dark alcohols cause more of a stench than clearer spirits, like vodka.
